The "Pepsi" part of the Pepsi-Cola name comes from pepsin, an enzyme which aids in digestion and was also a popular ingredient in early soft drinks (and chewing gum). There has been some dispute as to whether or not the original Pepsi-Cola actually contained pepsin as an ingredient. However, it was advertised in 1903 as being a "digestive aid". Coke doesn't have this.
Coke was originally formulated in 1886 by J. S. Pemberton, an Atlanta druggist and former Confederate army officer. Among other things it contained three parts coca leaves to one part cola nut. The new soft drink was one of many concoctions in that era containing cocaine, which was being promoted as a substitute for alcohol. Coke, in fact, was promoted as a patent medicine, which would "cure all nervous afflictions--Sick Headache, Hysteria, Depression, Etc....". Pepsi never contained any of the drug we call cocaine. Hope that helps a bit! Good luck
