There's a reason some things reach classic status and it's no surprise that Yoo-hoo Chocolate has tickled the palates of devoted fans for 8+ decades. Not only is this drink chock-full of rich, chocolaty goodness, it's got seven vitamins and two minerals and is 99% fat- and caffeine-free. Good and good for you? What more could a choco-freak ask for?

 Let's look at the background of Yoo-Hoo which came from Wikipedia.  "Yoo-hoo originated in New Jersey in the 1920s, when Italian-American Natale Olivieri sold "Tru-Fruit" soft drinks in his small store. Olivieri discovered a process to produce a chocolate soft drink that would not spoil. The name Yoo-hoo, already being used for Olivieri's other fruit drinks, was applied to the chocolate-flavored drink as well.
A bottling plant was opened up in Batesburg, South Carolina by Tommy Giresi in the 1940s.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Yoo-hoo went through a large promotional campaign that included Yodi Berra and the New York Yankees officially sponsoring the drink. The image of Berra drinking a bottle of Yoo-hoo while wearing a suit, in particular, became famous. The ads featured Berra holding the bottle next to his face and saying with a smile, "It's Me-He for Yoo-Hoo!"
Also during the 1950s, B.B.C. Industries took over Yoo-hoo. They held ownership until 1976, when it was bought by Iroquois Brands. Yoo-hoo was sold again in 1981 to a group of private investors, which in turn sold Yoo-hoo to Pernod Richard in 1989.
In 2001, Pernod Richard sold Yoo-hoo to Cadbury-Schweppes, with production responsibilities falling to CS's Mott's group, and marketing and advertising responsibilities under Snapple. This led to an increased awareness of the once-popular beverage.
The soft drink company's headquarters are in Rye Brook, New York with plants in Carlstadt, New Jersey, and Ooelouas, Louisiana. Yoo-hoo owns other chocolate drink brands, which include Choc-Ola, Brownie, Cocoa Dusty and Chocolate
Soldier.
In May 2008, Cadbury-Schweppes split into Cadbury and the Dr. Pepper Snapple group, of which Yoo-hoo is now part.
