Pepsi is one of the leading softdrink brands and really popular in the north.
Pepsi's original recipe included sugar and vanilla. Pepsi is so tasty!
I love their rival Coca-Cola,did you know Pepsi was originally called Brad's Drink?
Yes! It was created in 1893 by Caleb Bradham, and renamed in 1898.
Bradham was a phrmacist and he sold it at his soda fountain.
It was interesting how it was originally marketed, for it's digestion aid and to boost energy.
Right, well if it had cocaine as an ingredient like Coke did, I bet that it gave people a lot of energy!
That's for sure, he managed to sell 7,968 gallons of syrup in 1903. I bet it was really sought after.
Wow! Amazing that these drinks were medicinal when they originated.
In 1904, he added in small six-ounce bottles and increased sales to 19,848 gallons, nearly triple!
