How was soda pop invented?

Answer 1

AnswerThe first carbonated drink was Schweppes Tonic which was developed so that people could drink quinine as medicine in spite of its bitter taste. AnswerSoft drinks were invented to be refreshing, but also were used for medicinal purpose.

According to Wikipedia, the first soft drink was sharbat (whence sherbet), which was developed in Persia or Arabia in the 13th century. There were a number of soft drinks during medieval times and later, which were slightly carbonated from a small amount of fermentation, much as root beer is made in the home today. A drink like lemonade was developed in the 17th century. Carbonated drinks were invented in England in the 18th century. The first soda fountain was opened in the United States in 1806, and before the introduction of bottled soda, drinks very like it were being mixed to order at the fountains. The crown cap was invented in 1892, making it possible for people to drink bottled soda at home.

The list of soft drinks at Wikipedia missed Shweppes, somehow, but there is an article on the company, at which the tonic water is said to be the oldest soft drink, available since 1771.

Coca Cola was introduced in 1886, but Dr. Pepper is older, as it was introduced in 1885. The oldest soft drink available in the US is Moxie, which was introduced in 1876, as a refreshing medicinal drink.
