Dr Pepper is the oldest soda still available today, first served at the 1885 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, One full year before Coca-Cola was introduced to the public.

I think Vernor's & Hires may be older. LEON.

VernorsGuy Keith literally wrote the Book on Vernor's if I remember right. I've read before about others questioning that time but that's all speculation with no proof in my opinion. LEON.
No problem. There's tons of false information out there.

I wouldn't say that was false information, they never said any of it was fact but sounded more like a guess, opinion, speculation, a maybe maybe not?, you read all the info & believe what you wanta believe.

I was going to say Schweppes as the oldest soda still around?
