Big 8 Beverages[1] is a soft drinks company based in the town of Stellarton, near New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Established in 1930 and owned by the Sobeys chain of supermarkets since 1986,[2] the company produces fizzy soda drinks of a wide range of flavours, and also bottles spring and distilled water.

The Big 8 brand name was created in the 1930s by Fenton and Day Beverages,[3] and is now owned by Sobeys.

They named their cola Big 8 after the eight-cent price for a bottle roughly a litre in size.

Coca-Cola wanted to purchase Fenton and Day in 1946, but wouldn't pay what the owners thought the company was worth.
