When you look up machines in the machine section, there is a brief history about the manufacturer. I think its interesting knowing the histories. Is there anything like that for the soda manufacturers anwhere? I've seen some info for Coke, but what about Pepsi, or Royal Crown, etc??

Dr. Pepper was invented by a druggist in Waco, TX and Squirt came from Phoenix, AZ. You should be able to seach the web and get all the info you could want.
