In 1886 John Pemberton whipped up a refreshing elixir of coca-leaf and kola nut extracts in back of his Atlanta home. By accident, his syrup was mixed with carbonated, not plain, water. Coca-Cola is born. Six years later, another druggist, Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina, trademarked the name of a new cola concoction, Pepsi. Bradham called it Pepsi in honor of the drink's supposed soothing effects on dyspepsia, or upset stomach http://www.uiowa.edu/~commstud/adclass/pepsi_v_coke.html
