Pepsi's Roots
It's a little known fact that Pepsi was originally called Brad's Drink after Caleb Bradham. Bradham was a pharmacist in New Bern, North Carolina. If you are interested, you can actually visit the actual store where Bradham created and sold his product in 1898. It's a museum. Go figure. The location also has a historical marker. I think at some point Pepsi should come out with a can honoring Caleb Bradham and use the original name of Brad's Drink. Perhaps someday.
