THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 
Caleb Davis Bradham Begins Selling "Pepsi-Cola" (1898)
Bradham was a pharmacist who invented a soft drink made with kola nut extract, vanilla, and "rare oils." He believed his drink aided digestion and renamed it "Pepsi-Cola" after the kola nut and pepsin, an enzyme that aids in digestion. In 1902, he incorporated the Pepsi-Cola Co, and, in 1931, the trademark and assets were bought by Charles Guth, who improved the formula and marketed a 12-ounce bottle for five cents with huge success.

For some reason, I love old vintage bottles and branding in general.  Nostalgia I guess.

You might enjoy the "World of Coke" museum here, it's not bad really, I've been through probably four times (showing it to visitors).

They serve a bunch of beverages in one area we never heard of in foreign lands, some of which are odd, all made by "Coke".

I probably would.  I've been to the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco.

Royal Crown Cola was always my favorite when I was a kid.  An RC Float with mom's homemade vanilla ice cream was something really really special.

Yeah, I went once (maybe twice with visitors) in the short 2 years I lived there. 

Cool place to see at least once.
