Where does pepsi get its name?!


Question:

Where does pepsi get its name?


Answers:

There are several theories on the origin of the word "pepsi".

The only two discussed within the current PepsiCo website are the following:

Caleb Bradham bought the name "Pep Kola" from a local competitor and changed it to Pepsi-Cola.
"Pepsi-Cola" is an anagram for "Episcopal" - a large church across the street from Bradham's drugstore. There is a plaque at the site of the original drugstore documenting this, though PepsiCo has denied this theory.
