A-Treat Bottling Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A-Treat Bottling Company is a relatively small producer of various soft drinks, headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1918 by Joseph Egizio (died March 26,2000), the company distinguishes itself by producing sodas in the traditional manner, for example using essential oils and cane sugar, rather than extracts and high fructose corn syrup. A-Treat produces soft drinks in at least 16 different flavors: Blue Razz, Birch Beer, Black Cherry, Champagne Kola, Cola, Cream soda, Fruit Punch, two kinds of Ginger Ale (Pale Dry and Golden, formerly Peppery Golden), Grape, Grapefruit, White Birch Beer, Pineapple, Sarsaparilla, two kinds of Orange (regular and Orange Dry), Lime (formerly Tom Collins Mixer), Tonic Water (formerly Quinine Water), Treat-up, and Root Beer. Most, if not all, of these flavors are also produced in a diet formulation.[1]
A-Treat beverages have spotty distribution throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and as far away as Bermuda but only large-scale distributors tend to carry the less ordinary flavors.
A-Treat Birch Beer and Sarsaparilla are rated highly by connoisseurs of these types of beverages.[2]
