Big Red was invented in a Waco laboratory in 1937 by
Grover C. Thomsen and R.H. Roark, 52 years after
Dr. Pepper's birth in the same city. It was originally called
Sun Tang Red Cream Soda and was marketed exclusively in
Central and South Texas and around Louisville, Kentucky.

According to Big Red Ink, the company's newsletter,
"consumption of the beverage was most common away from
home, during outside activities in the warm summer months."
In the late fifties Harold Jansing, then president of the San
Antonio bottling plant, was playing golf when he overheard
some black caddies refer to a Sun Tang as a "big red." After
a few years of hearing that, and eager to speak the lingo, he
asked a caddy to bring him four big reds. The caddy returned
with another brand. "That's when I decided to change the
name," Jansing says.
