Pepsi-Cola, commonly called Pepsi, is a cola soft drink produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold worldwide in stores, restaurants and from vending machines. The drink was first made in the 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. The brand was trademarked on June 16, 1903. There have been many Pepsi variants produced over the years, including Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Max, Pepsi Samba, Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Gold, Pepsi Jazz, Pepsi Next (available in Japan and South Korea), and Pepsi Easter Hop. Most of these were limited-edition and are no longer avaliable.
Ingredients[]
Pepsi is made with carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavors. A can of Pepsi (12 fl ounces) has 41 grams of carbohydrates (all from sugar), 30 mg of sodium, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of protein, 38 mg of caffeine and 150 calories.[29][30] The caffeine-free Pepsi-Cola contains the same ingredients but without the caffeine.
The original Pepsi-Cola recipe was available from documents filed with the court at the time that the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt in 1929. The original formula contained neither cola or the caffeine.
