Catalonia (; ; ) is a Spanish autonomous community.
It is south of the eastern Pyrenees, and has a northern border with France.
Catalonia is made up of four provinces: Barcelona, Tarragona, Girona () and Lleida ().
It has a population of over 7 million people.
Catalonia has three official languages: Catalan, Spanish and Occitan.
The last is spoken in a small region of northern Catalonia that borders France and is  known in Occitan as Val d'Aran.
The capital of Catalonia is the Barcelona, the home of the Olympic Games in 1992.
and is on the Mediterranean Coast.
Between Costa del Garraf and Costa del Maresme, Barcelona very popular in summer for tourists, foreign or national.
The Catalan people have autonomy within Spain and so they have their own local government and their own police and some control over their own community.
In September 2005, the Catalan Parliament decided to call Catalonia a 'nation' in the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, which was approved in 2006.
According to the Spanish Constitution, Spain is a group of historical nationalities and regions, but that declaration has no judicial status since it appears in only the preamble to the constitution.
Catalonia is one of Southern Europe's most prosperous regions, mostly because industrialization, especially in the textile industry, began in it earlier and took place faster than in other Spanish territories.
The region is also greener than Southern Spain as it gets more rain, and it has different kinds of crops agrown.
Catalonia, especially the northern part, is much less hot than the rest of Spain.
On 27 October 2017, Catalonia declared independence from Spain after a vote in Parliament, but that has not been recognised by the international community.
Civil engineering is the term for the work of designing and building infrastructure.
It usually means large structures, like bridges, dams, buildings, and tunnels.
It also covers complicated networks such as water, irrigation and sewerage networks.
It also covers the construction of houses and homes.
Civil engineers can be involved in all stages in the life of infrastructure, from planning and construction to maintenance and demolition.
Civil engineering often overlaps with architecture.
Civil engineering has many different areas or disciplines.
Some important areas are geotechnical, structures, environmental, construction management, hydrology, transportation, and materials.
It is important for civil engineers to have an understanding of all these disciplines as projects often involve many of them at the same time.
Civil engineers are responsible for lots of the things that are required for a society to function properly.
Safe water supplies, sewage treatment, roads, railways and buildings are all part of civil engineering.
To work in civil engineering requires training.
Construction workers will train at a center and 'on the job' (training while doing the job), sometimes with apprenticeship.
To be a professional in civil engineering requires study at a university or college.
Civil engineers often study subjects like structures, materials, physics and calculus.
The profession of civil engineering is represented by professional bodies in various countries.
In the UK the Institution of Civil Engineers promotes civil engineering as a discipline and supports engineers throughout their careers.
The American Society of Civil Engineers performs a similar task in the USA.
Professional engineers often choose to become Chartered Engineers.
Chartership shows employers and clients that they are both qualified and experienced in their jobs.
Civil engineers usually have to write a big essay and take an interview with a panel of experienced engineers to gain chartership.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses over the San Francisco Bay, going from San Francisco to Marin County, in the U.S. state of California.
It was opened for use in 1937.
When the bridge was finished, its length of 9,266 ft (2824 m) made it the longest bridge in the world until 1964.
It carries U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1.
There is also a footpath for people and bicycles.
Before the bridge, the only way to go north from San Francisco to Marin County was by ferryboat.
The trip by ferry took 20 minutes to complete.
Before the bridge was built, San Francisco was the biggest American city still served mostly by ferries.
Some experts did not think that people could build a bridge because the water currents between Marin and San Francisco were very strong.
Also, the water was very deep in the middle - 102 m - and there was a lot of wind and fog that could make building a bridge difficult.
In 1916, San Francisco's city engineer asked other engineers to offer ideas for a bridge.
One man, Joseph Strauss, designed a very cheap bridge - only $17 million, but many thought it was ugly.
Local authorities asked him to change the design and to work with other experts.
He and other experts, especially architect Irving Morrow, designed the bridge again, this time as a suspension bridge.
A suspension bridge has tall towers that hold long cables, and the cables hold up or "suspend" the bridge.
In 1930, people in San Francisco and Marin County agreed that the local governments could sell bonds to the public to raise money for the bridge.
The new bridge was going to cost $30.1 million.
But it was difficult for the governments to sell the bonds at the time because of the Wall Street Crash of 1929.
Finally, the Bank of America, which was based in San Francisco, agreed to buy all the bonds to help the local economy.
Construction began on January 5, 1933 and was finished in April 1937.
Eleven men died during the construction, so the builders put a net under the bridge for the safety of the builders.
Nineteen men were saved by the net.
When they finished the bridge, they painted it with a reddish-orange sealant, a type of paint that protects the bridge from water and humidity.
People liked the color because it looked good with the bridge's surroundings and it was easy to see in the fog, so the bridge was officially painted with the color, called International Orange.
People can cross the bridge in cars or motorcycles any time.
During daylight hours, they can cross by bicycle or on foot.
They can not cross the bridge on roller skates, skateboards, or mopeds.
People often jump off the bridge to commit suicide (kill themselves).
They fall 75 meters and most of them die when they hit the water.
Over 1600 people committed suicide by jumping off the bridge.
Tolling
When the bridge opened, drivers had to pay 50 cents to cross the bridge in either direction.
Today, when drivers go north on the bridge (leaving San Francisco) they do not have to pay, but starting on September 2, 2008, when going south (entering San Francisco), they have to pay $6 if they pay cash or $5 if they buy a Fastrak pass.
On April 7, 2014, the tolls increased as part of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway & Transportation District five-year toll and transit fare programs.

The kitchen is the room in the house where food is cooked.
Sometimes, people eat in their kitchens, too.
Hotels, schools, and places where people work often have kitchens as well.
A person who works in a kitchen in one of these places may be a kitchen worker or a chef (depending on where he/she cooks).
An outdoor kitchen at a campsite might be placed near a well, water pump, or water tap, and it might provide tables for food preparation.
Software engineering is a field of engineering, for designing and writing programs for computers or other electronic devices.
A software engineer, or programmer, writes software and compiles the software to make instructions the computer can follow.
Good quality software is easier to fix and add new features.
Good documentation and good design are parts of good software.
Becoming a software engineer requires experience and practice writing code.
Software engineering may be very difficult work.
The software release life cycle includes getting the requirements, planning, writing, documenting and testing the software before it is released.
When it is released, it is given to other people to use, who are called the "end users".
Good software should be user friendly, which means it is easy to use.
Steps in creating software
Requirements say what the software should do.
Software design is usually done on paper.
It says what the different parts of the software are, and how they talk to each other.
After the design phase is done, each component (part) of the software is coded.
Code is what tells the computer exactly what to do at each step.
Testing is done to see if the components meet the requirements and that the system as a whole meet the requirements.
Part or all of this process can be repeated if software bugs are found or new requirements are needed.
Tools used in creating software
Software engineers use many tools and practices in making software.

A student is a person who goes to school and is learning something.
Students can be children, teenagers, or adults who are going to school, but it may also be other people who are learning, such as in college or university.
A younger student is often called a pupil.
Usually, students will learn from a teacher or a lecturer if at university.
They also do much reading.
A student can also be a person studying for a specific profession.
Students in school learn subjects.
There are many subjects in school like:
A suburb is an area of a town or city, a little away from Downtown, where there are fewer big buildings and mainly houses, schools and shops.
Such places are called suburban areas or suburban districts.
Sometimes, the suburbs cover a very large area.
The suburbs are part of the metropolitan area and may be legally part of the main city.
Since the Industrial revolution, urbanization has spread very quickly and far.
Transport in the form of trams, buses, trains and cars allows commuting from distant homes to work in the inner city.
This led to the growth of suburbs as residential areas.
Housing commonly includes Detached houses and semi-detached houses and flats.
Houses are built farther apart than in the inner city and there is often space for gardens and parks.
As cities grow outwards, they begin to take over the surrounding countryside.
Authorities have created Green belts on the undeveloped land around a city to prevent urban sprawl and to prevent the towns and cities merging into one.
They also encourage development within the town, and protect the countryside.
The need for new houses, particularly large detached and semi-detached houses in pleasant surroundings, means that some areas of green belt land have been built on and others are threatened.
That's because it is cheaper to build on empty land than to redevelop brownfield sites in older parts of the town or city.
A skyscraper is a very tall high-rise building, usually more than 152 metres (500 feet) in height.
Most skyscrapers are built in urban areas such as cities, and they are very common in the central business district (also called downtown) areas of many large cities including New York City, Chicago, London, Paris, Sydney, Beijing, Berlin, Toronto, Moscow, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Originally, the word skyscraper meant a tall sail on a sailing ship.
Over time, the word's meaning has changed, and today it means a tall building.
Until the nineteenth century, buildings taller than six stories tall were not common.
Tall buildings made of weak materials would fall down.
In addition, people did not like walking up many steps and running water could only be brought up to fifty feet (15m) high.
Better technology helped make skyscrapers more common.
Stronger building materials such as steel and reinforced concrete were developed, so stronger buildings could be made.
Water pumps brought water up to heights above fifty feet.
The first building to be considered a skyscraper, the Home Insurance Building, was built in Chicago, Illinois in the United States, and was designed by William LeBaron Jenney.
The building, ten stories high, was built from 1884 to 1885.
It was destroyed in 1931 because they wanted to build another building in its previous place.
In the same year the Home Insurance Building was destroyed, one of the oldest and most famous skyscrapers, the Empire State Building, opened in New York City.
Later in the 20th century, people started building skyscrapers in cities that did not have many tall buildings in the past.
In 1973, the then-called Sears Tower in Chicago was finished and became the world's tallest building until the late 1990s.
It took the record from the World Trade Center in New York City, which opened in 1970 but was destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Many taller buildings have been built since then, including Taipei 101 in Taipei.
This building was the world's tallest from 2004 until 2008, when the Burj Khalifa in Dubai opened.
Burj Khalifa is at this time the tallest building and man-made structure ever made, but the Jeddah Tower in Jeddah, which is still being built, will be even taller.
In mathematics, integers are the natural numbers and their negatives.
Integers can also be shown on a number line as follows:
In particular, zero is also an integer, but it is not positive nor negative. "
Integer" is another word for "whole".
An integer is a rational number with no "fraction", or part.
An integer is a decimal number with all zeros after the decimal separator.
For example, the integer 17 is the same as the decimal 17.0 or 17.0000.
An integer has a next smaller number and a next larger number.
There is no smallest integer, just as there is no largest integer.
Each integer is either larger than, equal to, or smaller than any other integer.
Consecutive integers are integers that come after each other (as in ).
The sum of integers is an integer.
The difference between integers is an integer.
The product of integers is an integer (for example, (12 + 2345 x  (67 - 8) ) x 9 is an integer).
An integer divided by an integer is sometimes not an integer (as in the case of 123 / 45).
or  is the name of the set of integers, and  the set of positive integers. (,
+, 0) is an abelian group.
The number of integers is infinite.
The cardinal number of  is .
The ordinal number of  is .
In programming
Natural numbers, also called counting numbers, are the numbers used for counting things.
Natural numbers are the numbers small children learn about when they first started to count.
Natural numbers are always whole numbers (integers excluding negative numbers) and often exclude zero, in which case one is the smallest natural number.
The set of natural numbers can be represented by the symbol .
There is no largest natural number.
The next natural number can be found by adding 1 to the current natural number, producing numbers that go on "forever".
There is no natural number that is infinite in size.
Any natural number can be reached by adding 1 enough times to the smallest natural number.
Non-natural numbers
Numbers less than 0 (negative numbers), for example, −2 and −1
Fractions, for example, ½ and 3¼
Decimals, for example, 7.675
Irrational numbers, for example,  and   (pi)
Imaginary numbers, for example,  (i)
infinity, for example,  and
0 (if not include as a natural number)
Addition; The sum of two natural numbers is a natural number.
Multiplication: The product of two natural numbers is a natural number.
Ordering: Of two natural numbers, if they are not the same, then one is bigger than the other, and the other is smaller.
m = n or m > n or m < n
if l > m then l + n > m + n
if l > m and l > 0 then l x n > l x m
Zero is the smallest natural number: 0 = n or 0 < n
There is no largest natural number n < n + 1
"Subtraction": If n is smaller than m then m minus n is a natural number.
If n < m then m - n = p.
if l - m = n then l = n + m
if n is greater than m, then m minus n is not a natural number
if l = m - n and p < n then l > m - p
Division: If  then
Mathematical induction: If these two things are true of any property P of natural numbers, then P is true of every natural number
if P is true of 1
and if P of n then P of n+1
then P is true of all natural numbers
Special natural numbers
Even numbers: If n = m x 2, then n is an even number
The even numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, and so on.
Zero is the smallest (or first) even number.
Odd numbers: If n = m x 2 +1, then n is an odd number
A number is either even or odd but not both.
The odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, and so on.
Composite numbers: If n = m x l, and m and l are not 0 or 1, then n is a composite number.
The composite numbers are 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21 and so on.
Prime numbers: If a number is not 0, 1, and not a composite number, then it is a prime number.
The prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 and so on.
Two is the smallest (or first) prime number.
There is no biggest prime number.
Square numbers: If n = m x m, then n is a square.
n is the square of m.
The squares are 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49 and so on.
How to write it
or  is the way to write the set of all natural numbers.
Because some people say 0 is a natural number, and some people say it is not, people use the following symbols to talk about the natural numbers:
The Golden Rule is a moral which says treat others as you would like them to treat you.
This moral in various forms has been used as a basis for society in many cultures and civilizations.
It is called the 'golden' rule because there is value in having this kind of respect and caring attitude for one another.
People of many religions see the value of this mandate and have similar expressions.
In Christianity, Jesus Christ taught this idea to his disciples and others when he gave his Sermon on the Mount.
It is recorded in the Holy Bible in the book of Matthew, Chapter 7 and verse 12.
Jesus explained to his listeners that all the things that were recorded in the Jewish law and that the prophets had taught about concerning morality was summed up in this one rule.
The context of this statement (Matthew 7) is about God's mercy and kindness.
The principle that was shared is to not always treat others as they might deserve to be treated, as we may judge some as undeserving, but instead to always be merciful and charitable, not withholding good.
In other religions and belief systems there is a similar concept of "the ethic of reciprocity", also called the Golden Rule.
They usually give a similar idea, although sometimes it has been expressed in the form such as "Do not treat others as you would not like to be treated."
One of the earliest rules of this type is from the Old Testament days of Moses: "Love thy neighbor as thyself" (Leviticus 19:18).
Similar rules have also appeared over time:
950 BC: "...by making dharma (right conduct) your main focus, treat others as you treat yourself." -
Mahabharata Shānti-Parva 167:9 (Hinduism)
600 BC: "Avoid doing what you would blame others for doing." –
Thales (Greek philosopher)
500 BC: "Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful." -
Buddha Udanavarga 5:18 (Buddhism)
500 BC: "A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated." —
Sutrakritanga, 1.11.33 (Jainism)
480 BC: "Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life?"
The Master replied: "How about 'shu' [reciprocity]: never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself?" -
Confucius Analects 15:24
400 BC: "Do not do to others that which angers you when they do it to you." -
Isocrates (Greek philosopher)
350 BC: "That which you hate to be done to you, do not do to another." -
Egyptian Papyrus, Brooklyn 47:218:135
50 BC: "What you do not want to happen to you, do not do it yourself either." -
Sextius (Greek philosopher)
1 AD: "Do not do to others what you know has hurt yourself" - Tirukkural (Tamil Hinduism)
400 AD: "What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation..." - Babylonian Talmud Shabbath 31:a (Judaism)
600 AD: "None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." -
Muhammad, various hadiths (Islam)
800 AD: "Whatever is disagreeable to yourself, do not do unto others."
Shayast-na-Shayast 13:29 (Zoroastrianism)
1200 AD: "Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain, and your neighbor's loss as your own loss."
Treatise on the Response of the Tao (Taoism)
1400 AD: "If the entire Dharma can be said in a few words, then it is — that which is unfavorable to us, do not do that to others."
Padmapuraana 19/357–358 (Hinduism)
1850 AD: "And if thine eyes be turned towards justice, choose thou for thy neighbour that which thou choosest for thyself."

The name comes from the fact that the program is aired live on Saturday nights at 11:30 PM EST.
This is a rarity in the age of filming and videotape.
SNL is shown in re-runs in the summer and on cable TV.
The program usually consists of the following:
Comedy sketches
A celebrity host, usually an actor or comedian
A popular band/musician performing a recent song
Weekend Update, a satirical newscast usually featuring celebrity impressions
Parody commercials
Various short movies, animated segments and the like.
Saturday Night Live was created and executive-produced by Lorne Michaels and started in 1975 as NBC's Saturday Night.
Many famous comic actors got their starts being cast members on the program.
The show has led to several movies, books, DVDs, and has been the inspiration for a couple of other TV shows.
It has been nominated for 183 Emmy Awards and won 42.
"Live from New York, it's Saturday night!"
is said near the beginning of every episode.
Actors on SNL
Many cast members have come and gone in the history of Saturday Night Live.

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer, musician and actor.
Is extremely considerate as the most influential and most famous musician of the 20th century, and is widely regarded as a cultural icon.
He was one of the first and   most famous in rock and roll music.
He also starred in many movies.
His fame has lasted for a long time after his death and is currently still one of the most popular men in history.
He is one of the most well-known people from the 20th century in the world.
He is so popular that some people know him as only "Elvis".
He is also referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll", or simply "The King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.
He and his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee, when he was 13 years old.
His music career began there in 1954.
He first started to work with Sam Phillips who was the owner of Sun Records.
RCA Records acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker.
Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel" was released in January 1956.
It was a number-one hit in the US.
He became the leading figure of rock and roll after many of television appearances and chart-topping records.
His energetic attitude towards his music and his performance style, made him very popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
In 1958, he was drafted into military service.
When he resumed his recording career two years later, he made some of his most successful work.
In the 1960s, Presley gave most of his time to making Hollywood movies.
After a long seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in 1968.
In 1973, Presley was featured in the first globally broadcast concert.
Several years of prescription drug abuse damaged his health, and he died in 1977 at the age of 42.
Before Elvis Presley passed away, he had problems with type 2 diabetes that he was diagnosed on April 29,1972 due to his weight gain and after a medical check-up
Elvis Presley was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi to 18-year-old Vernon Elvis Presley and 22-year-old Gladys Love Presley (born Smith), in the two-room shotgun house built by Vernon's father in preparation for the child's birth.
Jesse Garon Presley, his identical twin brother, was delivered stillborn 35 minutes before him.
As an only child, Presley became close to both parents and formed an unusually tight bond with his mother.
The family attended an Assembly of God church, where he found his initial musical inspiration.
Presley's ancestry was primarily a Western European mix: on his mother's side, he was Scots-Irish, with some French Norman; one of Gladys' great-great-grandmothers was Cherokee.
According to a third cousin of Presley's, one of Gladys's great-grandmothers was Jewish.
There is no evidence that Presley or his mother shared this belief in a Jewish heritage.
Syndicated columnist Nate Bloom has challenged the cousin's account, which he calls a "tall tale".
Presley's father's forebears were of Scottish and German ancestry.
Gladys was regarded by relatives and friends as the dominant member of the small family.
Vernon moved from one odd job to the next, evidencing little ambition.
The family often relied on help from neighbors and government food assistance.
The Presleys survived the F5 tornado in the 1936 Tupelo-Gainesville tornado outbreak.
In 1938, they lost their home after Vernon was found guilty of altering a check written by the landowner.
He was jailed for eight months, and Gladys and Elvis moved in with relatives.
He moved to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old.
Presley was one of the first musicians to play a type of music called rockabilly, which combined country music with rhythm and blues.
His first No.1 hit, "Heartbreak Hotel", from 1955, and was one of the first popular rock and roll songs.
Presley entered the military in 1958, and was stationed in Germany.
He was honorably discharged from the military, and returned to the United States in 1960.
In Germany, he met Priscilla Beaulieu, whom he married in 1967.
They had a daughter which they named Lisa Marie (who was married to pop singer Michael Jackson).
In 1973, Priscilla and Elvis divorced.
By this point, he had become addicted to many prescription drugs.
Presley’s personal doctor was George C. Nichopoulos who was of Greek descent.
Presley's rise to national attention in 1956 changed the field of popular music forever.
It also had a great effect on popular culture.
Because his music had  racially mixed origins, it gave a new acceptance and appreciation of black culture.
Presley was one of the first celebrities in the era of mass communication: at age 21, within a year of his first appearance on the American television network, he was already one of the most famous men in the world.
He is the best-selling solo artist in history, with sales between 600 million to 1 billion records.
His name, image and voice are instantly recognizable worldwide.
It has inspired many imitators.
Being a Elvis impersonator can be a professional job.
In polls and surveys, he is recognized as one of the most important and influential American musical artists.
He died on August 16, 1977 from a Cardiac Arrest by drug intoxication.
He was discovered dead in his bathroom.

Mount Everest  is the highest mountain on Earth.
Mount Everest is in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world.
It is about  high.
Its peak is on the border of Nepal and China, and lies in the Death zone where the air is too thin for a human being to live, so usually compressed gas tanks with different gas mixes for different altitudes are used when climbing.
The Death Zone refers to the parts of Mount Everest that are above  above sea level.
Two other mountains also can be named as the "highest" mountains - the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Loa on Hawaii island is the highest mountain measured from the base underwater to the summit (more than 11 kilometres), and the summit of Mount Chimborazo is the fixed point on Earth which is the greatest distance from the center.
This is because of the shape of the Earth: the circumference around the Equator is greater than around the poles.
"Everest Base Camp" is used to mean the two base camps on opposite sides of Mount Everest.
South Base Camp is in Nepal at an altitude of  ().
North Base Camp is in Tibet at   ().
These camps are simple campsite shelters at the bottom (or base) of the mountain.
They are used by mountain climbers during their journey up or down the mountain.
Supplies are provided there and climbers rest, heal and make trip preparations.
South Base Camp is used when climbing up the southeast ridge.
North Base Camp is used when climbing up the northeast ridge.
Supplies are shipped to the South Base Camp by Sherpas or porters, and with the help of animals, usually yaks.
The North Base Camp has vehicle access (at least in the summer months).
Climbers usually rest at base camp for several days for their bodies to get used to the thin air of high altitudes.
Mount Everest has a very cold and snowy climate.
Winds can speed up to .
The coldest month is January with a high of  and the warmest month in mount everest is July with a high of .
A survey of India in 1856 recorded Everest.
It was called Peak XV.
This first published height was .
Everest was given its official English name in 1865 by the Royal Geographical Society.
British people began exploring the area around Mount Everest in 1921.
The first expedition to try to climb to the top of Everest was in 1922.
On June 8th, 1924, George Leigh Mallory and climbing partner Andrew Irvine tried to climb to the summit of Mount Everest.
They disappeared into the fog and were not seen again until Mallory's dead body was found by Conrad Anker in 1999.
In March 2020, Nepal closed the mountain to climbing.
This was part of the effort to stop the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.
Sherpas are the local people who live near the foot of Mount Everest.
For the Sherpas, Mount Everest is a sacred mountain and before they climb Mount Everest they always do a sacrificial offering.

Pepsi is a carbonated cola soft drink made by PepsiCo.
A can of Pepsi (330ml) has 8 cubes of sugar in it, whereas Coca-Cola has 7.
They often sponsor (help fund/advertise on an event) sports events and music events, like the Super Bowl.
Pepsi also has huge sponsorships for the MGM Mirage hotels in Las Vegas, Nevada.
They only serve Pepsi products at the hotels.
Pepsi comes in many different flavors, and forms.
A few of the different Pepsi types include Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi ONE, Crystal Pepsi, Pepsi Wild Cherry, etc.
It was first introduced as "Brad's Dunka" in New Bern, North Carolina in 1898 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his pharmacy where the drink was sold.
It was later named Pepsi Cola, possibly due to the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe.
Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy.
In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore to a rented warehouse.
That year, Bradham sold 7,968 gallons of syrup.
The next year, Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles, and sales increased to 19,848 gallons.
In 1909, automobile race pioneer Barney Oldfield was the first celebrity to endorse Pepsi-Cola, describing it as "A bully drink.
refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race".
During the Great Depression, Pepsi gained popularity following the introduction in 1936 of a 12-ounce bottle.
Initially priced at 10 cents, sales were slow, but when the price was slashed to five cents, sales increased substantially.
With a radio advertising campaign featuring the jingle "Pepsi-Cola hits the spot/Twelve full ounces, that's a lot/Twice as much for a nickel, too/Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you," arranged in such a way that the jingle never ends.
Pepsi encouraged price-watching consumers to switch, obliquely referring to the Coca-Cola standard of six ounces per bottle for the price of five cents a nickel, instead of the 12 ounces Pepsi sold at the same price.
Coming at a time of economic crisis, the campaign succeeded in boosting Pepsi's status.
In 1937 500,000,000 bottles of Pepsi were consumed.
From 1936 to 1938, Pepsi-Cola's profits doubled.
In 1962 the name is changed to Pepsi.
Pepsi's success under Guth came while the Loft Candy business was faltering.
Since he had initially used Loft's finances and facilities to establish the new Pepsi success, the near-bankrupt Loft Company sued Guth for possession of the Pepsi-Cola company.
A long legal battle, Guth v. Loft, then ensued, with the case reaching the Delaware Supreme Court and ultimately ending in a loss for Guth.
In 1975, Pepsi introduced the Pepsi Challenge marketing campaign where PepsiCo set up a blind tasting between Pepsi-Cola and rival Coca-Cola.
During these blind taste tests the majority of participants picked Pepsi as the better tasting of the two soft drinks.
