About Pepsi

In 1883 pharmacist Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina concocted a drink that wowed his patrons. His pharmacy, like many others of that time, had a soda fountain where patrons could come in and have a cool drink. Brad liked to experiment with flavors and often mixed his own drinks to serve. His mix of carbonated water, kola nuts, vanilla and other oils became extremely popular with the customers. They nicknamed it Brad’s Drink. As sales of the beverage soared Brad renamed the drink Pepsi-Cola and he began a new company to market the tasty drink.

In 1923, despite its popularity Brad’s Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt. The end of World War II had caused the country to spiral into a depression and sales were not enough to keep them going. Craven Holdings Corporation bought the company, who in turn sold it to Roy C. Megargal. Despite their best efforts the company still floundered. Charles G. Guth bought Pepsi, and finally turned things around by selling more product for less money than their competitors sell. It was not long before he was able to expand Pepsi-Cola internationally. Through strategic marketing, catchy slogans, jingles, and celebrity endorsements the company has grown to the giant it is today.

The Pepsi we drink today is made of carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, caffeine, caramel color, citric acid, phosphoric acid and natural flavors. It has 150 calories, 41g of carbohydrates, 30mg of sodium and 38mg of caffeine.

Over $20 billion worth of Pepsi products are sold per year. Some varieties are sold only in certain countries where others are sold worldwide. Some of these varieties are:

Pepsi – signature drink
Diet Pepsi – Low calorie
Pepsi Throwback - made with real sugar
Pepsi Wild Cherry – cherry flavored
Pepsi Twist – lemon flavored
Pepsi Red (Japan) – spicy ginger flavored
Pepsi Green (Thailand) – green colored
Pepsi White (Japan) – yogurt flavored
Pepsi Cappuccino (Russia, Romania and parts of Europe) – coffee flavored
Pepsi Fire (Guam, Saipan, Thailand, Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines) – cinnamon flavored
Pepsi Raw (UK and Norway) – all natural ingredients, no artificial colors
Pepsi X Energy Cola – contains extra caffeine and guaranine
Pepsi Light – no sugar
Pepsi One – one calorie cola
