Introduction
Pepsi is one of the world’s largest consumer product and second largest soft drink Company.
It is a very well organized multinational company, which operates almost all over the world. Pepsi a carbonated soft drink was first introduce by a pharmacist named Caleb Davis Bradham in New Bern in 1893 as “Brad’s Brad’s Drink” that help in digestion and was a healthy drink. It was a new brand at that time. It includes water, real sugar, caramel, lemon oil, nutmeg and other natural additive as its ingredients. In 1898 Pepsi was renamed as Pepsi Cola, named after its two ingredients pepsin and kola nut. Due to the increasing demand of Pepsi Cola, Caleb Davis formed a Pepsi Cola company in 1902. On 16 June 1903, Pepsi Cola became an official trade mark because of its popularity. The business began to grow and Caleb sold almost 20,000 gallons of Pepsi Cola. In 1904 Caleb Davis decided to offer Cola in
bottles because of of continuous rise in its demand and popularity and in 1910 there were 240 franchises of Pepsi Cola in 24 states. Pepsi Cola enjoyed many years of success.
During World War 1 hard time fell on Pepsi due to fluctuating price of sugar and Caleb was unable to produce enough quantity of Pepsi to meet the consumer demand. He then takes an alternate action and add molasses instead of sugar but it affects its taste. At the end of the war sugar price increases from 3 cent to 28 cent per pound and Caleb purchase a large quantity of sugar on a very high price that cause the business downfall and Pepsi Cola entered bankruptcy in May 31, 1923 and its assets were sold to Craven Holding Corporation for $30,000.
