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. 
(...) 
Sooner  or later though, babies grow up, casting aside childish attachments 
like red  soda pop. Big Red is not much of an adult drink, in spite of the 
appealing idea  of a Texas Sunrise (Big Red and tequila). A good part of the 
reason is that  every bottle is loaded with its fair share of sugar and caffeine. 
But so what if  it’s not good for you. Just ask any Texas kid. It sure tastes 
good.

PRE-LOVED 
... 
I saw an ad in today's newspaper for a "pre-loved" Volkswagen. When did  
"pre-loved" replace "used." 
... 
I can see the term applied to people as well as things. "I'm not divorced!  
I'm pre-loved!"
