Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper come to mind. I'm sure there are more out there. I'm sure someone with more time on their hands will search and post it here.

More fun synopsis. http://www.vgg.com/drsodas/drhistory.html
Pretty much all sodas with backgrounds for ones with supposed medical relevancy/history. 7up the most interesting (apparently used to have Lithium)

Of course bear in mind these were google/dogpiled and all stories belong to their respective authors.

speaking of beverages....

My boyfriend's parents remember this drink they got at the soda fountain...a phosphate soda. Anyone know where I can get the phosphate to make this? An internet search is perplexing, as I don't want to order the wrong stuff.
