It's so hot outside! I'm so glad I bought Pepsi Earlier! Best carbonated soft drink out there!
I really like Pepsi too! I actually just got to have with my ramen while I watch old movies. (:
Never had pepsi and ramen together :) It's actually funny that when pepsi was created it was called Brad's Drink and then later on it was renamed as Pepsi-Cola and then as Pepsi

It was introduced by Caleb Bradham, not sure where Brad's drink came from. Caleb made Pepsi at his drugstore and that's where the drink was sold

Limp Bizkit also referenced it in the song "Stuck" with the lines "All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi. So far from suicidal but still I get them tendencies bringing back the memories that I really miss." "All I wanted was a Pepsi" is also quoted near the ending
