Root beer was created before Coca-Cola. The origins of root beer date back to the early 19th century, with various recipes emerging from different herbal and medicinal beverages. In contrast, Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. Thus, root beer predates Coke by several decades.
