Fan-Taz

Fan-Taz was a carbonated beverage sold in the early 20th century in the United States, Canada and Mexico by the Hessig-Ellis Drug Co.[1] and its division, the Puro Manufacturing Company (formed in 1909).[2]

The beverage was red in color,[3] and was marketed to baseball "fans", with ads showing bats and balls.

Syrup dispensers were shaped like baseballs[4] and were used in drugstores, general stores, and ice cream parlors during the early 1900s, selling the product for 5 cents a glass.[5]
