Originally called Brad's Drink, the beverage was first marketed as a digestive aid and energy booster. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola because of its pepsin and kola nut content.
Volumes declined in the U.S. last year for both Pepsi (-3.2%) and Diet Pepsi (-5.8%), according to Beverage Digest, as Americans continue to shun soda. Pepsi did pass Diet Coke in 2014 to return to its spot as the second most popular soda for Americans. Pepsi-Cola was created in 1898 in New Bern, N.C. by pharmacist Caleb Bradham.
