世界名牌博覽：百事可樂

百事可樂(Pepsi-Cola)最初于18世紀(jì)90年代由美國北卡羅萊納州一位名為 Caleb Bradham 的藥劑師所造，以碳酸水、糖、香草、生油、胃蛋白酶(pepsin)及可樂果制成。該藥物最初是用于治理胃部疾病，后來被命名為“Pepsi”，并于1903年6月16日將之注冊(cè)為商標(biāo)。 后來逐漸發(fā)展為美國百事公司推出的一種碳酸飲料，也是美國可口可樂公司的主要競(jìng)爭對(duì)手。

2016年6月8日，《2016年BrandZ全球最具價(jià)值品牌百強(qiáng)榜》公布，百事可樂排第86名。

PepsiCo is one of the world’s largest producers of soft drinks. Its most famous brand is Pepsi but its products also include Mountain Dew, Aquafina, 7up, Gatorade and Tropicana, among many other household names. Pepsi was first made in the 1890s by a pharmacist called Caleb Bradham. He wanted to create a tasty drink that boosted energy and helped with digestion. Since its creation, it has been involved in perhaps the world’s greatest business rivalry, with Coca Cola, which unsuccessfully tried to buy Pepsi three times in the 1930s. The company has over 200,000 employees worldwide and generates $50 billion of revenue a year. PepsiCo’s website says: “Our mission is to be the world's premier consumer products company focused on convenient foods and beverages.”
