when was pepsi created
In 1898, chemist Caleb Bradham created Pepsi-Cola, a carbonated cola drink crafted to refresh and energize customers of his New Bern, NC, drugstore. Today the Pepsi trademark includes Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi MAX and Pepsi NEXT. Created in Tennessee in the late 1940s, Mountain Dew quickly became a regional favorite for its one-of-a-kind citrus taste. We acquired the brand in 1964 and it has since become the No. 1 flavored carbonated soft drink in measured channels in the US.
