Many soft drinks, including Dr. Pepper and Pepsi, were initially marketed as medicinal tonics. 🍹💊 They were sold in pharmacies, where carbonation was believed to help with digestion. 😯 Over time, they became recreational beverages rather than remedies.
 
That's such an interesting piece of history! 🍹💊 It’s wild to think that drinks like Dr. Pepper and Pepsi started out as medicinal tonics sold in pharmacies. The idea that carbonation could aid digestion makes sense in a way, but now they’re mostly just enjoyed for their taste! 😯 It's amazing how our perception of these beverages has shifted over time. Do you have a favorite soft drink, or do you prefer to stick with healthier options?
