Explanation

Pepsi was originally developed in 1893 by Caleb Bradham as 'Brad's Drink', marketed as a digestive aid and hangover remedy. It contained pepsin and kola nuts, hence the name 'Pepsi-Cola'. Coca-Cola was originally a patent medicine, while Sprite and Fanta were developed later as regular soft drinks. Pepsi's medicinal origins are well-documented in company history.
