Pepsi

In 1866, a pharmacist in New Bern, North Carolina created the first Pepsi-Cola. To generate the same success as Coca-Cola, Bradham named his cola-flavoured carbonated beverage Pepsi-Cola in 1898. Pepsi-Cola’s popularity led Bradham to incorporate the company in 1902. The late 1970s and early 1980s are the years when Pepsi gained popularity among young drinkers.
