Pepsi was created in 1893 by pharmacist Caleb Bradham as a digestive aid known initially as 'Brad's Drink.' Although marketed for digestive benefits, the claims lacked medical support. In 1898, the name was changed to Pepsi-Cola, derived from 'dyspepsia' and 'kola.' Despite being historically associated with health, Pepsi contains no beneficial ingredients; its formula has evolved over time, notably switching to high fructose corn syrup, and it can, in fact, exacerbate upset stomachs despite its carbonation.
Originally created as a digestive aid by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in 1893, Pepsi was marketed for its health benefits before transforming into a sugary soda.
Bradham's initial marketing of Pepsi as 'Brad's Drink' showcased a claim to aid digestion; however, no medical evidence ever supported such assertions.
