Pepsi was founded by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in the United States in 1898. It was originally a drug to help with digestion, but Caleb saw a greater potential and began serving the drink as a refreshment to pharmacy customers. It was great success, and today it is one of the world’s most popular soft drinks and has been voted as the best cola in blind tastings.The exact recipe for Pepsi Cola is kept close to the chest. But with the right combination of the best imaginable ingredients – cola nuts, vanilla, citrus fruits, flavours, sweeteners and the purest water – the well-known and beloved Pepsi Cola flavour is achieved.
