The 1893 World's Fair in Chicago was a pivotal cultural moment where products like orange cider emerged, capitalizing on the temperance movement's desire for alcohol-free beverages.
Huelsenkamp, a beverage producer from Florida, introduced orange cider at the fair as a refreshing alternative, capitalizing on Florida's agricultural strengths during peak summer heat.
The success of orange cider at the World's Fair paved the way for its popularity, encouraging other vendors to jump on the bandwagon and sell this new favorite.
While orange cider's popularity peaked during the fair, it ultimately faded from mainstream beverage choices, overshadowed by traditional apple ciders and other trends.
