The Chocolatey Lunchbox Favorite That Has New Jersey Roots
It's a popular childhood drink that many kids will soon pack in their lunchboxes as school resumes in just a few days to enjoy during lunch, but I had no idea about its history or the fact that it was invented right here in New Jersey.
It's delicious, chocolatey goodness that I can taste right now, even though I haven't had any in years!
I definilety need to run out and get some today!
It isn't just a drink, it’s like a trip down memory lane.
Of course, that drink I'm describing is YOO-HOO!!

Yoo-Hoo was made in Garfield, New Jersey
Yoo-hoo was created by Natale Olivieri back in 1928 in Garfield, New Jersey.
The small grocery store owner invented Yoo-hoo as a chocolate addition to the fruit juice he was already selling at the time in New Jersey.
With a "special bottling process," the chocolate drink can stay fresh, and with just a shake of the bottle, you can get that delicious flavor.
Just another great invention out of New Jersey!
Next time you grab a pack at the supermarket or a bottle from your favorite lunch spot, take a moment to remember that it all started right here in the Garden State.
And that’s just one of many.
