01
Artifact Overview
The Nesbitt Fruit Products Company was founded in 1924. In 1927, the company began producing orange-flavored syrup for soda fountains and, in 1938, the company started bottling it -- featuring 10% California orange juice. Nesbitt's was later franchised to independent bottling companies both nationally and internationally. From Disneyland's 1955 opening into the 1960s, Nesbitt's was the park's "Official" Orange Drink.
