1767 THE SODA WATER DEBUT
In 1767, an English scientist named Joseph Priestly began experiments to "stimulate the fixed air found in natural waters"!. In one of his attempts, he used a primitive apparatus to pour water from one vessel to another held near fermenting vats at a local brewery!. He found that the water easily absorbed the gas later identified as carbon dioxide, the same modern-day "fizz" that tickles our tonsils in Coca Cola!. Priestly published his findings in a paper titled "Directions for Impregnating Water with Fixed Air"!.
1807 THE FIRST CARBONATED DRINK
It is believed that the first carbonated soft drink was made in Philadelphia in 1807, when Dr!. Philip Syng Physick, the father of American Surgery, asked a chemist to prepare carbonated water for a patient!. Flavor was added to make the drink more palatable!. The main problem at the dawn of soda pop was finding a way to add natural juices to carbonated water without fermentation ruining the drink!.
In 1809, Joseph Hawkins of Philadelphia was granted the first U!.S!. patent to bottle soda water!. Shortly thereafter, he opened a small bottling plant on Chestnut Street!.

Carbonated beverages did not achieve wide-spread popularity until 1832, when John Matthew's invented an apparatus for charging water with carbon dioxide gas!.

Pepper has the honor of being the oldest major soft drink currently sold in America!.
1886 COCA COLA
John S!. Pemberton, an experimental pharmacist standing over an old brass or iron kettle in Atlanta tried over 300 combinations of different herbs and spices during a period of over four years before he finally came up with a liquid that tasted in his words "all right"!.
