Which company introduced Country Time lemonade flavor drink mix in 1975?

General Foods introduced the Country Time lemonade flavor drink mix in 1975.

Country Time began as a powdered, non-carbonated lemon drink mix rather than a bottled soda. General Foods owned the brand during its early years, when the product was marketed as a convenient way to prepare lemonade at home by mixing the powder with water.

The brand later expanded beyond its original lemonade flavor, adding products such as pink, raspberry, and strawberry lemonade. In 1981, A&W obtained a license to produce bottled and canned ready-to-drink versions while General Foods remained the owner.

A major corporate change came in 1989, when General Foods merged with Kraft Foods. That placed Country Time within the Kraft corporate family, which later became associated with Kraft Heinz. The name can therefore be confused with its later owners, but the company credited with the 1975 introduction was General Foods.
