Make Mine a PINEAPPLE CRUSH
Posted By drsao on March 28, 2008
Bonnie K. Hunter of quiltville.com announced that our next mystery quilt was to be named the ORANGE CRUSH MYSTERY and since then many of us have been craving an orange crush, a dreamsicle, an orange crush cake – or even dreamsicle ice cream (some members of our chat group have even found recipes!) I imagine that the WIKIPEDIA website has had lots of hits lately! Who would have thought that there were so many kinds of CRUSH DRINKS!!!

Orange Crush is an orange-flavored soft drink (see orange soda) invented by Clayton J. Howel of Los Angeles, California in 1916.[1] The drink quickly became popular and was widely available throughout the US. Since the mid-20th century, however, the availability of Orange Crush has decreased somewhat.[citation needed]
The Crush brand and trademark are presently owned by Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages of Plano, Texas. Crush is also popular in Canada, where it is distributed by Cadbury Beverages Canada. Crush has the #1 Orange, Grape and Cream Soda in Canada and still remains a Top 10 brand. It is distributed by various Pepsi bottlers, the biggest being The Pepsi Bottling Group Canada. Orange crush was served in White Castle hamburger restaurants up until the 1980’s
Crush had/has spin-offs including:
-
Grape Crush
-
Strawberry Crush
-
Chocolate Crush
-
Cherry Crush
-
Peach Crush
-
Blue Raspberry Crush
-
Diet Orange Crush
-
Diet Cream Soda Crush
-

AND – since I have decided not to use orange in my next MYSTERY QUILT I had to rename it!
I have finally made a fabric selection for my PINEAPPLE CRUSH QUILT.
Here they are…..my three colors plus an accent color!
burgundy and cream checks
the accent color is teal
pineapple gold with tiny navy blue flowers
and black with black stars
(all of my scrappies are beiges and navy blues)
I am thinking oreange crush all the time, too.
I am excited to see how your quilt progresses.
Hugs…Phyl
