Enjoy Dr Brown Diet Black Cherry (4x6Pack). Dr. Brown's was created in 1869 and was commonly sold in New York delicatessens and by soda salesmen who sold the product from door to door in Jewish neighborhoods.[2][1] According to former marketing director, Harry Gold, a New York doctor used celery seeds and sugar to invent the cream soda and celery tonic now known as Cel-Ray, which was advertised as a "pure beverage for the nerves."[3].
