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.
