Pepsi was invented around
1900 by
Caleb Bradham, a
New Bern, NC. druggist who first formulated
Pepsi-Cola.
If you live in New Bern, NC all the Pepsi billboards say "
Born in New Bern, NC". If you live in Eastern NC (New Bern is eastern) they all say "
Born in Eastern NC". I suspect if you go to western NC the billboards will say "
Born in North Carolina" and in
South Carolina it probably says "
Born in the Carolinas."
Pepsi (Symbol: PEP) has a lot of subcompanies with hundreds of brands. Here are some of the best known:
Pepsi-Cola
TropicanaFrito-LayQuaker Oats

Sickeningly big, isn't it?
PepsiCo currently gets the majority of its revenues from snack chips unit Frito-Lay Co. In the third quarter ended Sept. 2, Frito-Lay accounted for almost 62 percent of the company's revenues, Pepsi-Cola brought in 27.2 percent, and juice maker Tropicana Products Inc., the leader in the branded juice market, made up for about 11 percent of total sales. -- http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20001204/bs/quaker_pepsico_dc_14.html
