The answer is Hires Root Beer, which was first sold in 1876. That's 10 years older than Coca-Cola (1886) and 17 years before Pepsi (1893). So if you really want some nostalgia, reach for a Hires Root Beer.

Grand Daddy Hires
I've confessed earlier that one marketing strategy of soda I enjoy is when they attempt to make it nostalgic. You know, those soothing Coca-Cola commercials where they show Santa Claus or some dust bowl Oakie chugging a Coke, suggesting the drink has been around forever. Well, that made me wonder which soft drink really has been around forever.
