About Pepsi
Pepsi was formulated by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina in 1893 and renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898. The company went bankrupt twice in its early decades before finding a position as the cheaper, larger-serving alternative to Coca-Cola during the Depression, and later as the drink of a younger generation.
