Pepsi Cola was originally called “Brad’s Drink” and marketed in Bern, North Carolina in the early 1890’s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. Bradham = “Brad’s Drink,” get it?
By 1898, the name Pepsi was officially adopted. The name “Pepsi Cola” is derived from the pepsin and cola nuts in the recipe. Pepsi was originally marketed as a cure for stomachaches or dyspepsia… More at Neatorama.
Pepsi, for when Coke isn’t available.

‘Bradham = “Brad’s Drink,” get it?’ — um…. I don’t get it? Is that a pun I’m missing?
I appreciate that Pepsi is making a push with “real sugar” Pepsi for their regular stuff, and for their diet, they’re dropping aspartame. I’m not sure if I can taste the difference in the latter or if it’s psychosomatic, but still it doesn’t seem like a bad idea.
