3 Fun Facts About Cold Beverages<\/h2>\n

When you think of cold drinks, you probably imagine soda. This carbonated beverage is refreshing and tasty. Yet, where did it come from? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n

1. Seltzer Water was the First Soft Drink<\/h2>\n

If we define soft drinks as carbonated beverages<\/a>, seltzer water was the first. The very first carbonated water can be found naturally in springs. Years ago, people used this water for medicinal purposes.<\/p>\n

Joseph Priestley discovered how to make carbonated water artificially in 1767. At first, Priestley shared the water he made with his friends. Later, it helped create sodas.<\/p>\n

What else is in seltzer water? Most of these waters also contain certain minerals. When added to water, they create a pleasant flavor. Plus, the minerals help offset the acidity created by the carbon dioxide gas.<\/p>\n

\"Jackson<\/p>\n

Today, seltzer waters may come in tasty flavors like citrus or berries. Seltzer waters are also often sugar-free, making them a healthy choice<\/a>. It’s great to offer this drink in a Jackson micro-market<\/a> or vending machines.<\/p>\n

2. Dr Pepper was the First Soda<\/h2>\n

Now that we know seltzer water was the first soft drink, which was the first soda? The first sweet, carbonated soda like we know today, was Dr Pepper. Served in 1885, Charles Alderton made Dr Pepper in a pharmacy in Texas. Soon after,\u00a0came another famous flavor, Coca-Cola.<\/p>\n

3. A Cold Beverage Vending Machine Didn’t Exist Until the 1950s<\/h2>\n

The first soft drinks had to be mixed on the spot. Often sold in pharmacies, servers mixed syrup and carbonated water. By the 1920s, drink machines were invented. Similar to a cold brew coffee tap<\/a>, these machines served beverages directly into cups, so not quite the cold drink vending machines we see today.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, coffee was sold in vending machines before bottled soda. The first coffee vending machine appeared in 1946. It might not have measured up to the gourmet coffee you can enjoy in your office coffee service, but it did serve hot coffee on demand.<\/p>\n

Bottled soda became popular in the 1830s and by the 1950s, Coca-Cola was selling it in beverage vending machines. These were a lot like the machines of today that you can find in Jackson break rooms and lobbies.<\/p>\n
