Chicago's green river tradition has a surprising connection to soda brand: report
Fox News
The City of Chicago kicked off St. Patrick’s Day celebrations early this past weekend with the return of its annual river dyeing, which famously turns the Chicago River emerald green for a few hours.
Green River Soda was first mixed together in 1916 by Iowa candy shop owner Richard C. Jones, but the sweet drink made its way to Illinois three years later after the Chicago-based beer company Schoenhofen Edelweiss purchased the drink to survive U.S. Prohibition, which lasted from Jan. 17, 1920, to Dec. 5, 1933.
