INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION Pepsi-Cola was first made in New Bern, North Carolina in the United States in the

early 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. On August 28, 1898 , "Brad's drink" was changed to

"Pepsi-Cola"

and

later

trademarked

on

June

16,

1903

Caleb Bradham bought the name "Pep Kola" from a local competitor and changed it to Pepsi-Cola. "Pepsi-Cola" is an anagram for "Episcopal" - a large church across the street from Bradham's drugstore. Caleb Bradham and his customers simply thought the name sounded well or the fact that the drink had some kind of "pep" in it because it was a carbonated

drink;

they

gave

it

the

name

"Pepsi".

7

As Pepsi was initially intended to cure stomach pains, many believe Bradham coined the name Pepsi from either the condition dyspepsia (stomachache or indigestion) or the possible one-time use of pepsin root as an ingredient (often used to treat upset stomachs). It was made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, and kola nuts. Whether the original recipe included the enzyme pepsin is disputed. www.pepsi.com
