But it's perhaps better known as a soft drink developed in the 1940s by a pair of Tennessee beverage bottlers and was later sold and tweaked by a Virginia company. Pepsico eventually acquired the recipe and turned the lemon lime flavored drink into a household name. Now that name may be returning to its hard liquor roots and that has public health officials worried.
