Diet Soda vs. Regular – Battle of the Sodas
Soda history is a fascinating love affair between entrepreneurs, scientists and the American consumer. Originally touted as health-enhancing beverages capable of curing everything from tuberculosis to hair loss, the first sodas contained what pharmacists called nervines, which could have included varying amounts of cannabis, opium, morphine, cocaine and even strychnine. Wildly popular in the late 19th century, soda fountains sprang up all over the U.S., providing these healthy, energizing drinks to customers who thoroughly enjoyed the way these medicinal beverages made them feel.
