Two notable soft drinks founded in North Carolina are Pepsi and Cheerwine. Pepsi was created in 1893 by Caleb Bradham in New Bern, while Cheerwine, a cherry-flavored soft drink, was invented in 1917 by L.D. Peeler in Salisbury. Both drinks have become iconic and are closely associated with their North Carolina roots.
