RC Cola was created in 1905 by Georgia pharmacist Claud A. Hatcher following the popularity of other old-fashioned sodas and vintage soft drink. His first venture was Royal Crown Ginger Ale followed Chero-Cola in 1910. This early classic cola entered the growing world of American soda brands. After trademark disputes, the company reemerged in 1928 as Royal Crown
Cola—the RC Cola we still know and love.
RC Cola, while never quite the blockbuster of other
soft drinks, found a cola history as one of the first to sell soda in a can in the 1930s. In 1958, the company introduced Diet Rite, the nation’s first diet and caffeine-free cola, helping launch a range of low-sugar soft drinks. By the mid-20th century, RC found its place as the true retro soda, its image further
improved by its “underdog” status, especially across the American South.
In true retro style, it’s paired with another Southern classic – Moon Pies—and is enjoyed with peanuts…dropped into the glass!
