The Upper 10 brand debuted in 1933 as a product of the Nehi Corporation (later Royal Crown Corporation). [2] Upper 10 was one of RC Cola's flagship brands throughout the company's history.

Upper 10 is still sold outside North America by Cott Beverages, the same company that sells RC Cola internationally.
