Dr Pepper Will See You Now: 7UP Yours (6/10/25)

Moxie was the first mass-produced soft drinks in the United States dating back to 1876 when it was created by a doctor. Root Beer was invented by a pharmacist named Charles Hires, who introduced the beverage in 1876 with real sassafras, something today considered too dangerous and therefore replaced with artificial flavor. Dr Pepper was introduced by a pharmacist named Charles Alderton and his famous 23 flavors in 1885. Coca-Cola was introduced by pharmacist John Pemberton in 1886, who used a small amount of cocaine. In 1893 another pharmacist introduced Caleb Bradshaw Pepsi, the later name for the pepsin and kola nut extra in the product. In 1929 Charles Grigg introduced 7UP, which contained lithium citrate, a naturally occurring alkali metal with psychotropic (or mood altering) effects.Fig Newtons, Graham Crackers, Corn Flakes, and Grape-Nuts were all introduced as health supplements. In all of these cases we are observing beverages and food-substances that were originally sold as tonics, medicinals, and the like, while today they are anything but. What was originally sold as medicine is today sold as liberty, and what would certainly never be sold as a health tonic today is also never accused of causing health issues.The British Journal of Sports Medicine reported back in 2017 the “overlap between the consumption of added sugars and drug-like effects.” Cheese is likewise known to be just as addictive, something linked to casein and casomorphines produced during digestion. The study, published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, examines why certain foods are more addictive than others. Researchers identified addictive foods from about 500 people who completed the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure if someone has a food addiction.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
