There are many interesting Missouri fast facts about food. Here are just a few of them. Two favorite soft drinks, Dr. Pepper and 7-Up hail from here. Dr. Pepper debuted at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis while 7-Up was invented in St. Louis. Another famous beverage first introduced at that world fair—iced tea. The first ever ready-mix food product to be sold to the public was another Missouri invention, Aunt Jemima pancake flour, introduced in 1899. Not surprisingly, St. Louisans consume the most barbecue sauce per capita than any other place in the country. Quite surprisingly, it is illegal for a milk man to run while on duty in Missouri.
