Created in a drugstore by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in 1893, this carbonated beverage initially dubbed “Brad’s Drink” was renamed “Pepsi Cola” in 1898. Bradham chose “pepsi” as the drink’s moniker because it was originally advertised as a way to relieve “dyspepsia” (indigestion). Pepsi became increasingly popular during the Great Depression when 12-ounce bottles were introduced in 1934, as only 6.5 ounce bottles were available beforehand. The first Pepsi-Cola cap design was introduced in 1950, the year Pepsi’s slogan was changed to “More Bounce to the Ounce”. This tagline promised customers not only more liquid per ounce than competitor Coca-Cola, but more fun as well! This 1950 design utilized a red, white, and blue background, with the logo featured in the center over the middle white section. Before 1950, the color blue was not related to the brand in any form. This design has been updated every few years since, most recently in 2014. Nowadays, it’s difficult to imagine Pepsi without that color springing to mind. Throughout the years, the slogans, logos, and flavors of Pepsi have been updated and altered, but consumers’ love for the sweet and pleasant soda pop has remained steady. Celebrate the long-lasting legacy of Pepsi Cola with this limited-edition Pepsi cap silver coin!
