Pepsi

PepsiCo, Inc., commonly known as Pepsi, is a leading American multinational food and beverage corporation. Founded in 1898 by Caleb Bradham as Brad's Drink, it was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898 and later shortened to Pepsi. The company is best known for its flagship product, Pepsi Cola, a carbonated soft drink, but it has expanded its portfolio to include a wide range of beverages and snacks. Over the years, Pepsi has acquired several renowned brands, including Frito-Lay, Tropicana, Quaker Oats, and Gatorade, which have significantly bolstered its market presence. Pepsi's impact is substantial, with its products available in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. The company is known for its competitive marketing strategies and high-profile advertising campaigns, often engaging in the "Cola Wars" with its main competitor, Coca-Cola. PepsiCo's influence extends beyond beverages, as it plays a significant role in the global food industry, focusing on sustainability and healthier product offerings in recent years.
