Soda Pop in the Old West

***Corrections: Vernor did not "invent" ginger ale, since it had been around in Ireland and Canada prior. He created his own distinct version of it for the American market.
The 1856 record of "Soda Pop" is from the Butte Record Newspaper. Apparently that is Butte County, California, not Butte, Montana***

Thumbs down have no taste buds.

Growing up, I always thought that the only thing cowboys drank were alcohol and water.
-
Over 100 years later and we're all still addicted to coffee and pop. This is what caffeine wanted all along, right?
-
Moxie is still extremely popular in Maine and New England. I was astonished to find that Cracker Barrel sold it out here in Arizona. Now I don’t have to order my favorite soda from Amazon!
-
My dad was a soda jerk when he was a boy. Back then they mixed the soda water with the syrup to make soft drinks. So ordering a "fountain Coke, hold the syrup, plain water" was a smart-ass way of ordering a glass of tap water.

Educating Dirty Dan? "That's a lost cause." 🤣
-
When I was a kid back in the mid-1970's "Moxie" was sold in the little Mom and Pop store in our neighborhood. I remember it had a sweet yet herbal taste. I much preferred swilling Tahitian Treat Tropical Fruit Punch Soda with my Drake's Funny Bone Cakes. And don't forget Orange Crush! These days due to health issues the only beverage I drink on a regular basis is good ole H20. And no more Drake's Cakes either! Thanks for another great video Santee! Take care & God bless!
-
It makes sense that our love for soda pop has pretty deep roots.
-
We have a local soda pop company called “soda jerks”. The micro brew craze even went to soda. Great video Santee. 👍🏽
-
"Not Your Father's Root Beer" is a perfect alcoholic brand of root beer.
-
this was a great episode, i had no idea that soda went back this far in time, i always figured it was from the late 1880's/1890's
-
Santee , My Son and I went to the Dr. Pepper Museum and The Texas Ranger Museum in Waco about 4 years ago. We discovered Dr. Pepper's original name was WACO and The inventor chemist Charles Alderton recommended smoking a Cigar while drinking Waco /Dr. Pepper. By the way the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco is a must see.

I love how I'm drinking Earp's sarsaparilla as I'm watching this
-
Thank you Santee for the information 😎
-
I had no idea that Dr. Pepper went that far back! The others I was sort of aware of their history but this one was a surprise. You all do great videos!
-
Thanks for sharing. Was unaware of Moxie’s Popularity! I’ve read quite a bit about bottling and the development of safe, effective method to cap a carbonated bottle (beer/soda). Yes I need to get a life. People today don’t realize just how important the crown cork/bottle cap was! It was the greatest thing before sliced bread! ( the automatic bread slicer was invented in 1915!)
-
I was born & raised in AZ, but my parents were from MI and absolutely love Vernors ginger ale. My daughter in law also born & raised in AZ and now that is the only ginger ale she will drink. TFS
-
Good ole soda! Like always, another great vid brother!
-
Moxie is still available in New England. It's by far my favorite but it is an acquired taste. You either love it or hate it. There still is a Moxie festival held in Maine every year.
-
your vids are great. cant wait for the next one. im learning something new, seems everytime i watch.
