📖 Its story
In 1893, a pharmacist in North Carolina named Caleb Bradham invented a drink at his drugstore. First it was called 'Brad's Drink,' and in 1898 he changed the name to Pepsi-Cola. In 1965, Pepsi joined with Frito-Lay, and that's how PepsiCo, the drinks and snacks company, was born.
💵 How it makes money
It sells drinks, chips, cookies and cereals in stores and supermarkets all over the world.
🤯 Fun fact

Its brands are very well known, and people buy snacks and drinks almost every day.
⚠️ The risk
More and more people want to eat healthier, and that could lower sales of sodas and chips.
