History [edit]

Natale Olivieri started bottling carbonated fruit drinks in the mid-1920s. However, when he attempted to bottle a chocolate potable, he found that information technology would soon spoil. Observing his wife canning fruits and vegetables, he asked her to utilize the aforementioned heat processing techniques with his chocolate drink. He began bottling the pasteurized chocolate drinkable named Yoo-Hoo at 133 Farnham Avenue, Garfield, New Jersey, in 1928.^[2] In the 1940s, Thomas Giresi opened a bottling plant in Batesburg, Due south Carolina, for distribution of Yoo-hoo. In the 1960s, an advertising campaign tried to appeal to an older public for the drink, and featured Yogi Berra and his New York Yankees teammates. Berra, in a pivot-striped business concern conform, drinks a bottle of Yoo-hoo, lifts information technology next to his cheek, and says with a grinning, "It's Me-He for Yoo-Hoo!"

BBC Industries purchased the rights to Yoo-hoo erstwhile in the 1950s and retained buying until 1976, when it sold the brand to Iroquois Brands. Yoo-hoo was sold again in 1981 to a group of individual investors, which endemic the brand until 1989, when it was sold to the French conglomerate Pernod Ricard.

In 2001, Pernod Ricard sold Yoo-hoo to Cadbury Schweppes, with product responsibilities falling to CS's Mott's grouping and marketing and advertising responsibilities under Snapple. They heightened sensation of the once-pop drinkable.

The potable company's headquarters are in Tarrytown, New York, with plants in Carlstadt, New Bailiwick of jersey, and Aspers, Pennsylvania. An Opelousas, Louisiana, location closed in 2009. At one time, Yoo-hoo owned several other chocolate milk brands too, including Choc-Ola, Brownie, Cocoa Dusty, and Chocolate Soldier.

In May 2008, Cadbury-Schweppes split up into the Cadbury candy business and the Dr Pepper Snapple Group soft potable business firm, with the latter taking over Yoo-hoo.

In 2010, a legal suit was brought against the Dr Pepper Snapple Group in New York state by Timothy Dahl. The suit alleged that the Dr Pepper Snapple Group engaged in misleading advertizement as to nutritional makeup of Yoo-hoo.^[3] Papers filed past Dahl claimed that the drink "contains dangerous, unhealthy, not-nutritious partially hydrogenated oil". Farther, he stated that the beverage "contains virtually no milk and instead is by and large h2o, sugars, milk past-products and chemicals." Withal, Motts LLP, which made the drink during this fourth dimension said the drinkable contains "7 vitamins and minerals and no preservatives" and they stood past their production.^[4]

An ABC News commodity mentioned that on a papal visit to Denver, a diverseness of sources reported that Pope John Paul 2 liked Yoo-hoo after a Vatican spokesman mentioned that the Pope wanted "a couple of cases of that American chocolate beverage he likes" on board his airplane. As popes practice not requite commercial endorsements, a subsequent argument from his spokesman denied that the pontiff had any particular preference among American milk drinks.^[5]
