does anybody know what pepsi stands for? i do i want to know if any body out there knows too?

Answer 1

Nothing, it's not an acronym.

"As Pepsi was initially intended to cure stomach pains, Bradham coined the name Pepsi from the condition dyspepsia (stomachache or indigestion)."

Cola was medicine once upon a time. Still is, actually. You can buy cola syrup, it's used for nausea and stomach ache. Works fairly well, if you can keep it down.

Though some folks believe it's an acronym for: Pay Every Penny to Save Israel.

Answer 2

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.
Another theory is that Caleb Bradham and his customers simply thought the name sounded good or the fact that the drink had some kind of "pep" in it because it was a carbonated drink, they gave it the name "Pepsi".

Answer 3

Pepsi-Cola was first made in New Bern, North Carolina in the United States in the early 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. In 1898, "Brad's drink" was changed to "Pepsi-Cola" and later trademarked on June 16, 1903.[1] There are several theories on the origin of the word "pepsi".

Answer 5

according to a CNN. transcript.:
UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): Coca-Cola, besides its clear continuous support of the Israeli government, had announced its willingness to invest billions of dollars to topple the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

BECK: Coca-Cola wants to topple Iran. Obviously ridiculous. But the average Iranian citizen has no reason not to believe these claims.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translator): Take for example the Pepsi drink. You know what the name of Pepsi stands for? "Pay Each Penny Save Israel."

BECK: I can show you hours of this sort of propaganda, all of it equally is shocking. But what we really need to be asking is why it exists in the first place?
