Trivia: What drink did the 1953 “Man from Schweppes” sell?
Ginger ale
Vodka
Gin
Tonic water
The correct answer is Tonic water
So why is this answer correct? : The Man from Schweppes was a snobby British man who wore tweed and flaunted a Van Dyke beard while drinking Schweppes tonic water. Played by Commander Whitehead (Schweppes board member and company ambassador Edward Whitehead), the character was meant to convey the personality of Schweppes’ drinks with an air of “Schweppervescence.”
