夏威夷果汁宾治起在富勒顿的起源 作者
以下内容来自我正在进行的关于富勒顿历史的研究。您可以在 http://www.fullertonhistory.com 上关注我的持续研究和写作。 与大多数中型美国城市一样，富勒顿多年来也催生了一些在全国享有盛誉并成为家喻户晓的公司。芬德吉他可能是最著名的。但夏威夷果汁宾治紧随其后。 夏威夷果汁宾治最初是由 A.W. Leo 在 20 世纪 30 年代中期在富勒顿 120 W. Amerige 的一个改建车库中发明的，当时是作为果汁摊的饮料基料和冰淇淋调味料。Leo 的公司名为Pacific Citrus Products。 关于夏威夷果汁宾治的实际发明地点存在一些争议/困惑。 2007 年《奥兰治县纪事报》的一篇文章提到，1321 Frances Ave. 的住宅车库上放置了一块牌匾，上面写着夏威夷果汁宾治的配方是 1934 年在那里发明的。 然而，根据富勒顿公共图书馆富勒顿历史室的记录，A.W. Leo 1934 年并不住在那里。他于 […]
