It took 58 years--until 1944--to sell the first billion gallons of Coca-Cola syrup. Today, that billion gallon mark falls approximately every 7-1/2 months! Did you know?? Coca-Cola trucks travel over 1,000,000 miles a day to supply consumers with soft drinks! Did you know?? If all the vending machines in the United States were stacked one on top another, the pile would be over 450 MILES high! Did you know?? Cuba and Panama were the first two countries to bottle Coca-Cola outside of the U.S. Did you know?? The consumption of Coca-Cola Classic in the U.S. exceeds each of the following: bottled water, juices, powdered drinks, wine and distilled spirits. Did you know?? In Brazil, a local bottler makes 3-day trips up the Amazon River to deliver Coca-Cola to remote locations! Did you know??

There are 7,000 Coca-Cola products consumed worldwide every single second! Did you know?? If all the Coca-Cola ever produced to this point were to gush from "Old Faithful" at its normal rate of 15,000 gallons every hour, the geyser would flow continually for over 1,685 years! Another way of putting that fact---if the geyser had been continually erupting since 313 AD, it would just be running out about now! Did you know?? Coca-Cola is the world's most recognizable trademark---recognized by 94% of the world's population! Did you know??

PEPSI COLA The Pepsi-Cola story itself begins with a drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina, and a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham. Bradham's aim was to create a fountain drink that was both delicious and healthful in aiding digestion and boosting energy. It would be free of the impurities found in many bottled health tonics, and it would contain none of the stronger narcotics often added to popular fountain drinks. As most pharmacies The cellar of Bradham's drugstore served as the original site of Pepsi-Cola syrup manufacturing. Electing to start his new business on a small, manageable scale, Bradham based his operation on familiar territory. Ingredients were hauled downstairs to cramped quarters where they were mixed together and then cooked in a large kettle. The syrup was subsequently poured into one-gallon jugs and five-gallon kegs to be shipped to customers. By 1902, the demand from surrounding drugstores increased so dramatically it dawned on Bradham that Pepsi-Cola was something special. On December 24, 1902, he filed incorporation papers with the state of North Carolina; in these, he indicated his plans for corporate branches in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York. In 1898, Caleb D. Bradham, a New Bern, North Carolina pharmacist created Pepsi Cola, in imitation of Coca Cola. Pepsi spent a lot of money on an advertising campaign in China with the slogan 'Pepsi gives you life' - the only problem was they got the translation a little bit off - the translation came out 'Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.' During Nixon's presidency, Pepsi became the first foreign consumer product to be sold in the Soviet Union. One 12 ounce can of Pepsi Cola contains approximately 39 mg. of caffeine. PRODUCT INFORMATION - Ingredients To view all FAQ's in this category, click here. We only use the finest ingredients to make Pepsi-Cola products. To guarantee our consumers consistent quality, each ingredient must pass our high standards, rigorous quality control tests and strict bottling procedures. All ingredients are listed on the label in order of decreasing amount. Pepsi-Cola products contain natural flavors, including extracts of the kola nut, vanilla beans and flavor oils derived from natural sources such as citrus and other fruits. Caramel (made from corn sugar) adds color and flavor to our colas. Other ingredients add a refreshing taste: phosphoric acid in colas; citric acid and sodium citrate in Mountain Dew, Slice and Diet Pepsi. We also put a freshness date on every can and bottle. Soft drinks may lose some flavor over time so our freshness date tells consumers when the product is freshest and best tasting. Every can and bottle of Pepsi-Cola products has a Nutrition Facts panel, which shows the number of calories and other nutrients per serving. There is essentially no fat in any Pepsi-Cola products. The main ingredients found in Pepsi-Cola products include carbonated water, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, potassium and caffeine. For a complete breakdown by ingredients by product, see our product information for Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi ONE, Mountain Dew, Slice, Mug Root Beer or Aquafina. A B C G H N P Q R S T Y A --Back to Top-- Acesulfame-K Also known as Acesulfame-K, Ace-K, ASK and the brand name Sunett. A non-nutritive, calorie-free sweetener discovered in 1967. Since Acesulfame-Potassium is 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), only a small amount is needed to sweeten a product. Acesulfame-Potassium is currently used in some of our diet beverages and in more than 1,000 products around the world ie: desserts, baked goods, soft drinks, candies, canned foods and pharmaceutical products) and has been the subject of approximately 90 scientific studies to ensure its safety. Ascorbic Acid Another name for Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C. The Ascorbic Acid used in our carbonated soft drinks functions as an antioxidant to protect the flavors, color, and taste. In some beverages we also add it to provide the nutritive value found in Vitamin C. Check out of the amount of Vitamin C that Aquafina Essentials provides by clicking onto its website. Aspartame Aspartame is a sugar substitute used in our diet beverages and many other food products. Aspartame is made of the same building blocks as protein, so it is considered a "nutritive sweetener," but the very small amounts used in diet drinks contribute no calories. B --Back to Top-- Blue 1 Blue 1 is an FDA-approved food coloring used in a variety of products such as jellies, condiments, puddings, and beverages. For the past 50 years, health professionals have carefully evaluated the safety and suitability of colors for use in foods. The types of food colorings we use here at Pepsi have been reviewed by reputable scientific organizations and are safe for consumers to use. Here at Pepsi, in our products we only use ingredients that are fully approved and deemed safe for use in foods by the Food and Drug Administration. For more information about Blue 1, we encourage you to contact the following organization: * International Food Information Council (IFIC) in Washington, D.C. at (202) 296-6540 or www.ific.org. Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) Brominated vegetable oil has been used by the soft drink industry since 1931. It is a widely used food additive that has been extensively tested and approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Brominated vegetable oil is derived from soybean oil that has been modified in order to keep the flavoring oils well-blended. C --Back to Top-- Caffeine People have enjoyed foods and beverages containing caffeine for thousands of years. Caffeine is a substance that occurs naturally in more than 60 plants including coffee beans, tea leaves, kola nuts and cacao beans. Where caffeine is actually not occurring in a beverage, caffeine is added to certain soft drinks as part of the flavor profile. Caffeine has a classic bitter taste that enhances some flavors and balances the sweetness of other flavors. The amount of caffeine in a soft drink is only a fraction of that found in an equal amount of coffee or tea. The long history of caffeine's use confirms that it is safe when consumed in moderation. Moderate amounts of caffeine intake have been deemed safe by the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. For people who wish to restrict their caffeine intake, many caffeine-free soft drinks are available.
