RC Cola (or Royal Crown Cola) is a soft drink developed in 1905 by Claude A. Hatcher, a pharmacist in Columbus, Georgia. The first product in the Royal Crown line was "Chero-Cola" in 1906, followed by Royal Crown Ginger Ale, Royal Crown Strawberry and Royal Crown Root Beer.

The company was renamed Chero-Cola, and in 1925 called Nehi Corporation after its colored and flavored drinks. In 1934, Chero-Cola was reformulated by Rufus Kamm, a chemist, and re-released as Royal Crown Cola. In the 1950s, the combination of Royal Crown Cola and Moonpies became popular as the "working man's lunch" in the American South.
