A planeload of Pepsi was flying over the darkest, deepest part of Africa. The engine developed trouble and the plane went down. The Pepsi company sent out a rescue team to find the Pepsi and the crew. The rescuers found the wreckage, but there was no sign of the Pepsi or the crew. Finally they came upon a cannibal village. They asked the chief if he had seen the crew and the Pepsi. The chief said"Yep, we ate the crew and drank the Pepsi." The rescuer said "My gosh, did you eat their arms?""Yep, we ate the arms and washed them down with the Pepsi.""And did you eat their legs?""Yep, we ate their legs and washed them down with the Pepsi."The rescuer then said:"I hate to ask you, but did you eat their--you know--things?" Chief said: "Hell NO, Things go better with Coke."
Joke #2
A blonde walks up to a Coke machine and puts in a coin. Out pops a Coke. The blonde looks amazed and runs away to get some more coins. She returns and starts feeding the machine madly and of course the machine keeps feeding out drinks. Another person walks up behind the blonde and watches her antics for a few minutes before stopping her and asking if someone else could have a go. The blonde spins around and shouts: "Can't you see I'm winning?"
Joke #3
How many Pepsi drinkers does it take to wallpaper a room? It depends on how thinly you slice them.

Pepsi's "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation"
translated into "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the
grave", in Chinese.
The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as
"Ke-kou-ke-la", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female
horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke
then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic
equivalent "ko-kou-ko-le", translating into "happiness in
the mouth".
"Pepsi Blue"
Ooh-hoo-hoo - Pepsi Blue
Looks like Windex and tastes like shampoo
Find that Slurpee you left in the rain
Ooh Pepsi, it's roughly the same
Stockpile your sku's in the grocery stores
Your latest weapon in the cola wars
I've given up, so please don't target me
With all your turquoise W.M.D.
Ooh-hoo-hoo - Pepsi Blue
Fire your product development crew
Could this be some consumerist joke?
Ooh Pepsi, you must be on Coke
Did Pepsi One really do so hot?
Your ads said yes, but your stock did not
Another mass-market painful death:
Ol' Crystal Pepsi's bad as crystal meth
Ooh-hoo-hoo - Pepsi Blue
Worse than Diet Code Red Mountain Dew
I did taste tests, and here's your review:
Ooh Pepsi, your drink's really blue
Ewww Pepsi
Ewww Pepsi

Claim: Coca-Cola used to contain cocaine.
Status: True.
Origins: Coca-Cola
was named back in 1885 for its two "medicinal" ingredients: extract of coca leaves and kola nuts. Just how much cocaine was originally in the It's all gone now, folks. formulation is hard to determine, but the drink undeniably contained some cocaine in its early days. Frederick Allen describes the public attitude towards cocaine that existed as Coca-Cola's developers worked on perfecting their formula in 1891:
The first stirrings of a national debate had begun over the negative aspects of cocaine, and manufacturers were growing defensive over charges that use of their products might lead to "cocainism" or the "cocaine habit". The full-throated fury against cocaine was still a few years off, and Candler and Robinson were anxious to continue promoting the supposed benefits of the coca leaf, but there was no reason to risk putting more than a tiny bit of coca extract in their syrup. They cut the amount to a mere trace.
Allen also explains that cocaine continued to be an ingredient in the syrup in order to protect the trade name "Coca-Cola":
But neither could Candler take the simple step of eliminating the fluid extract of coca leaves from the formula. Candler believed that his product's name had to be descriptive, and that he must have at least some by-product of the coca leaf in the syrup (along with some kola) to protect his right to the name Coca-Cola. Protecting the name was critical. Candler had no patent on the syrup itself. Anyone could make an imitation. But no one could put the label "Coca-Cola" on an imitation so long as Candler owned the name. The name was the thing of real value, and the registered trademark was its only safeguard. Coca leaves had to stay in the syrup.
How much cocaine was in that "mere trace" is impossible to say, but we do know that by 1902 it was as little as 1/400 of a grain of cocaine per ounce of syrup. Coca-Cola didn't become completely cocaine-free until 1929, but there was scarcely any of the drug left in the drink by then:
By Heath's calculation, the amount of ecgonine [an alkaloid in the coca leaf that could be synthesized to create cocaine] was infinitesimal: no more than one part in 50 million. In an entire year's supply of 25-odd million gallons of Coca-Cola syrup, Heath figured, there might be six-hundredths of an ounce of cocaine.
So, yes, at one time there was cocaine in Coca-Cola. But before you're tempted to run off claiming Coca-Cola turned generations of drinkers into dope addicts, consider the following: back in 1885 it was far from uncommon to use cocaine in patent medicines (which is what Coca-Cola was originally marketed as) and other medical potions. When it first became general knowledge that cocaine could be harmful, the backroom chemists who comprised Coca-Cola at the time (long before it became the huge company we now know) did everything they could with the technology they had available at the time to remove every trace of cocaine from the beverage. What was left behind (until the technology improved enough for it all to be removed) wasn't enough to give a fly a buzz.

Claim: Combining Coca-Cola and aspirin will get you high.
Status: False.
Origins: Various
bits of popular "wisdom" circulate about what ingesting Coca-Cola and aspirin together will do. The more common (with the first two being by far the most popular) are:
* it's an aphrodisiac
* it's a great way to get high
* it causes instant death
* it cures headaches
Without I'm high . . . exception, the beverage is always Coca-Cola and the pain killer is aspirin. No other products will do, apparently ? not even another soft drink, let alone a different analgesic.
These beliefs have been around for decades and are generally picked up in high school. Usually, a student hears only one of these old wives' tales and is unaware others outside his region have heard different things about the efficacy of that particular combination.
In some parts of the U.S., girls were in the habit of keeping a careful eye on their Cokes, lest some less-than-successful Lotharios slip aspirin into their drinks, rendering them wanton and willing. In other areas, kids downed aspirin and Cokes with the firm belief that they'd soon be lightheaded and silly.
What might well be the origin of the "gets you high" belief appeared in the early 1930s. A doctor from Illinois wrote to the Journal of the American Medical Association to warn that teenagers were dissolving aspirin in Coca-Cola to create an "intoxicating" beverage with addictive properties that were as bad as "narcotic habituation." His rant was baseless, and the rumor eventually died down and stayed down for a very long time.
The teen years are a time of experimentation and initiation into the world of adult knowledge and thus mark a bridge between childhood and adulthood. Two things that kids can't do but adults can are drink liquor and engage in sexual activity. It's not surprising that a great many of the whispered snippets of secret knowledge exchanged by teens have to do with one or the other of these activities. To kids of that age everything is a mystery, so bits of lore that enhance the aura of mystery fall upon receptive ears.
Teens stand with one leg still in childhood, a time of lessened responsibility. Actions aren't clearly perceived as having consequences, certainly not in the way they will later in life. A teen will be enchanted by the notion that combining a popular soft drink with an equally popular pain killer will result in his getting drunk or stoned, and he will set out to get himself into that condition via this method just to prove that he can. Never mind that illegal drugs aren't all that hard to come by, and a bottle of liquor even less so (even if one is underage) ? it's the sense of putting one over on the system and not the hoped-for high itself that lies at the heart of this belief's attractiveness.
Another eagerly exchanged bit of secret knowledge tangentially related to the "it gets you high" notion is the idea that drinking beer through a straw will render the imbiber utterly legless. It too lacks any basis in reality. However, the psychosomatic effect of such a belief can be startling.
The belief that the Coke-aspirin combination makes for an aphrodisiac leaps straight from the ordinary teen urge to have a way of making the object of his desire feel the same way about him. Adolescence is not just a time of awakening sexual feelings, but also of learning how to deal with romantic rejection. It's only natural to wish for a magic drug that would make the pain of being rejected a thing of the past by doing away with rejection itself, and what more suitable potion could there be than the most American of beverages combined with something that takes pain away?
Far less widespread are the beliefs that the combination will kill whoever drinks it or that it will cure a vicious hangover. The first of the two is easy to explain: teens are always seeing lurking phantom dangers in the oddest things ? the more innocuous, the better. Perhaps the belief that combining two common products will result in a deadly poison is a teen's way of beginning to conceive that the adult world is fraught with dangers. That teens makes up the dangers instead of recognizing the real ones is part of their romantic nature ? it's much more exciting to imagine Godzilla is after you than it is to view a motorcycle through the eyes of someone who has read rider survival statistics.
Finally, as for Coca-Cola and aspirin's being a hangover cure, we come to one bit of the lore which has something to it. Individually, both of these products couldn't help but make things better at a time like that ? the Coke because it helps rehydrate an alcohol-dried body, and the aspirin because it eases the physical suffering of a pounding head. When served up together, the combination packs a much greater pain-killing effect than either of the products would on their own because the caffeine in the soda appears to work to boost the effect of the aspirin.

Sightings: The belief the combination of Coke and aspirin forms an intoxicant comes up in the 1978 film Grease.

Claim: Coca-Cola was originally green.
Status: False.
Origins: Though Come fly with me this tidbit of knowledge has been widely distributed as part of an Internet "Did You Know?" list, at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green. The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product.
(Brown also hides impurities in any given batch, something the backroom chemist who invented Coca-Cola in 1886 kept well in mind as he proceeded with his formulation. These days syrup producers and bottlers have no impurities to hide, but back in the "three copper kettles in somebody's basement" days, covering up what might have inadvertently dropped into the mix was a concern, and brown hid indiscretions remarkably well.)
Coke has at times been bottled in green glass bottles, which perhaps explains the popularity of this particular rumor.

Claim: The acids in Coca-Cola make it harmful to drink.
Status: False.
Example:
1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl . . . Let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
8. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan;rap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
9. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, And run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
FYI:
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It's pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
2. To carry Coca Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly Corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Drink up! No joke. Think what coke and other soft drinks do to your teeth on a daily basis. A tooth will dissolve in a cup of coke in 24-48 hours.
Origins: Many
of the entries above are just simple household tips involving Coca-Cola, as provided by Joey Green in his 1995 book Polish Your Furniture with Panty Hose and on his web site. That you can cook and clean with Coke is relatively meaningless from a safety standpoint ? you can use a wide array of common household substances (including water) for the same purposes; that fact alone doesn't necessarily make them dangerous to ingest. Nearly all carbonated soft drinks contain carbonic acid, which is moderately useful for tasks such as removing stains and dissolving rust deposits (although plain soda water is much better for some of these purposes than Coca-Cola or other soft drinks, as it doesn't leave a sticky sugar residue behind). Carbonic acid is relatively weak, however, and people have been drinking carbonated water for many years with no detrimental effects.
The rest of the claims offered here are specious. Coca-Cola does contain small amounts of citric acid and phosphoric acid; however, all the insinuations about the dangers these acids might pose to people who drink Coca-Cola ignore a simple concept familiar to any first-year chemistry student: concentration. Coca-Cola contains less citric acid than orange juice does, and the concentration of phosphoric acid in Coke is far too small (a mere 11 to 13 grams per gallon of syrup, or about 0.20 to 0.30 per cent of the total formula) to dissolve a steak, a tooth, or a nail overnight. (Much of the item will dissolve eventually, but after a day or two you'll still have most of the tooth, a whole nail, and one very soggy t-bone.)
Besides, the gastric acid in your stomach is much stronger than any of the acids in Coca-Cola, so the Coca-Cola is harmless.
The next time you're stopped by a highway patrolman, try asking him if he's ever scrubbed blood stains off a highway with Coca-Cola (or anything else). If you're lucky, by the time he stops laughing he'll have forgotten about the citation he was going to give you.

PEPSI COLA
The Pepsi-Cola story itself begins with a drugstore in New Bern,
North Carolina, and a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham. Bradham's aim
was to create a fountain drink that was both delicious and healthful
in aiding digestion and boosting energy. It would be free of the
impurities found in many bottled health tonics, and it would contain
none of the stronger narcotics often added to popular fountain drinks.
As most pharmacies
The cellar of Bradham's drugstore served as the original site
of Pepsi-Cola syrup manufacturing. Electing to start his new
business on a small, manageable scale, Bradham based his operation
on familiar territory. Ingredients were hauled downstairs to
cramped quarters where they were mixed together and then cooked
in a large kettle. The syrup was subsequently poured into one-gallon
jugs and five-gallon kegs
to be shipped to customers.
By 1902, the demand from surrounding drugstores increased so
dramatically it dawned on Bradham that Pepsi-Cola was something
special. On December 24, 1902, he filed incorporation papers with
the state of North Carolina; in these, he indicated his plans for
corporate branches in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New York.
In 1898, Caleb D. Bradham, a New Bern, North Carolina pharmacist created Pepsi Cola, in imitation of Coca Cola.
Pepsi spent a lot of money on an advertising campaign in China with the slogan 'Pepsi gives you life' - the only problem was they got the translation a little bit off - the translation came out 'Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave.'
During Nixon's presidency, Pepsi became the first foreign consumer product to be sold in the Soviet Union.
One 12 ounce can of Pepsi Cola contains approximately 39 mg. of caffeine.
PRODUCT INFORMATION - Ingredients
To view all FAQ's in this category, click here.
We only use the finest ingredients to make Pepsi-Cola products. To guarantee our consumers consistent quality, each ingredient must pass our high standards, rigorous quality control tests and strict bottling procedures.
All ingredients are listed on the label in order of decreasing amount. Pepsi-Cola products contain natural flavors, including extracts of the kola nut, vanilla beans and flavor oils derived from natural sources such as citrus and other fruits. Caramel (made from corn sugar) adds color and flavor to our colas. Other ingredients add a refreshing taste: phosphoric acid in colas; citric acid and sodium citrate in Mountain Dew, Slice and Diet Pepsi.
We also put a freshness date on every can and bottle. Soft drinks may lose some flavor over time so our freshness date tells consumers when the product is freshest and best tasting.
Every can and bottle of Pepsi-Cola products has a Nutrition Facts panel, which shows the number of calories and other nutrients per serving. There is essentially no fat in any Pepsi-Cola products. The main ingredients found in Pepsi-Cola products include carbonated water, carbohydrates, sugar, sodium, potassium and caffeine. For a complete breakdown by ingredients by product, see our product information for Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi ONE, Mountain Dew, Slice, Mug Root Beer or Aquafina.
A B C G H N P Q R S T Y
A --Back to Top--
Acesulfame-K
Also known as Acesulfame-K, Ace-K, ASK and the brand name Sunett.
A non-nutritive, calorie-free sweetener discovered in 1967. Since Acesulfame-Potassium is 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), only a small amount is needed to sweeten a product.
Acesulfame-Potassium is currently used in some of our diet beverages and in more than 1,000 products around the world ie: desserts, baked goods, soft drinks, candies, canned foods and pharmaceutical products) and has been the subject of approximately 90 scientific studies to ensure its safety.
Ascorbic Acid
Another name for Ascorbic Acid is Vitamin C. The Ascorbic Acid used in our carbonated soft drinks functions as an antioxidant to protect the flavors, color, and taste. In some beverages we also add it to provide the nutritive value found in Vitamin C.
Check out of the amount of Vitamin C that Aquafina Essentials provides by clicking onto its website.
Aspartame
Aspartame is a sugar substitute used in our diet beverages and many other food products. Aspartame is made of the same building blocks as protein, so it is considered a "nutritive sweetener," but the very small amounts used in diet drinks contribute no calories.
B --Back to Top--
Blue 1
Blue 1 is an FDA-approved food coloring used in a variety of products such as jellies, condiments, puddings, and beverages.
For the past 50 years, health professionals have carefully evaluated the safety and suitability of colors for use in foods. The types of food colorings we use here at Pepsi have been reviewed by reputable scientific organizations and are safe for consumers to use.
Here at Pepsi, in our products we only use ingredients that are fully approved and deemed safe for use in foods by the Food and Drug Administration.
For more information about Blue 1, we encourage you to contact the following organization:
* International Food Information Council (IFIC) in Washington, D.C. at (202) 296-6540 or www.ific.org.
Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO)
Brominated vegetable oil has been used by the soft drink industry since 1931. It is a widely used food additive that has been extensively tested and approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
Brominated vegetable oil is derived from soybean oil that has been modified in order to keep the flavoring oils well-blended.
C --Back to Top--
Caffeine
People have enjoyed foods and beverages containing caffeine for thousands of years. Caffeine is a substance that occurs naturally in more than 60 plants including coffee beans, tea leaves, kola nuts and cacao beans. Where caffeine is actually not occurring in a beverage, caffeine is added to certain soft drinks as part of the flavor profile. Caffeine has a classic bitter taste that enhances some flavors and balances the sweetness of other flavors. The amount of caffeine in a soft drink is only a fraction of that found in an equal amount of coffee or tea. The long history of caffeine's use confirms that it is safe when consumed in moderation. Moderate amounts of caffeine intake have been deemed safe by the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. For people who wish to restrict their caffeine intake, many caffeine-free soft drinks are available.
