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.

It was incorporated on November 16, 1905. Now known as the Pepsi-Cola Company, there were 15 bottling plants franchised. In a newspaper ad in 1908, racecar driver Barney Oldfield did an advertisement for Pepsi-Cola.
