Fox's U-bet chocolate syrup is a commercial chocolate syrup originally made by H. Fox & Company in Brooklyn, New York starting around 1900.[1][2] It was said to be invented in a basement in Brownsville, Brooklyn, according to David Fox. Herman Fox, his grandfather, left town for the Texas oil boom and returned only with the phrase, "you bet."[3] U-bet syrup is best known as being a key component in the fountain beverage, the egg cream.[4] While the specific order in preparation is subject to much debate within New York City the components of the classic egg cream recipe consist of U-Bet syrup, milk and seltzer. The beverage has since become an iconic staple in New York's Jewish delis since its invention in the 1880s.[5] H. Fox & Company was acquired by US Westminster Foods in 2016, and is currently manufactured in Farmingdale, New York.[6]
