Types of Pepsi Products
Pepsi was started in North Carolina in 1898, but would not be officially known as Pepsi until 1903 when the first patent for Pepsi-Cola was filed by Caleb Bradham. Bradham was a young pharmacist working to invent a special drink to attract customers to his pharmacy. While historically, Pepsi was a single drink, today PepsiCo sells a variety of different drinks and has a growing food division. Does this Spark an idea?
