Country Time lemonade flavor drink mix was introduced in 1975 by General Foods.
Over the years various other flavors, including pink, raspberry, and strawberry lemonade, were added.
In 1981 A&W acquired a license to make the bottled and canned ready to drink product from then-owner General Foods.
Possibly the most notable driver was Neil Bonnett driving the Country Time sponsored car for the 1994 Daytona 500, the same race he died in a crash practicing for.
Country Time Lite Lemonade and Lite Pink Lemonade were introduced in 2007 with half the sugar of regular Country Time (advertised as 35 calories per serving).
