PEP

Pepsico, Inc.

One of the world's largest food and beverage companies, PepsiCo makes snacks and drinks sold under household brands like Lay's, Pepsi, Gatorade, Sabra, and SodaStream, reaching people in over 200 countries through direct store delivery. It was formed in 1965 when the Pepsi-Cola Company merged with Frito-Lay. The cola itself traces to 1893, when a North Carolina pharmacist named Caleb Bradham first served what he called "Brad's Drink"—later renamed Pepsi-Cola after the digestive enzyme pepsin and the cola nut.
