istory
The recipe Ior Pepsi, the soIt drink, was Iirst developed in the 1890s by a New Bern, North
Carolina pharmacist and industrialist, Caleb Bradham, who named it "Pepsi-Cola" in 1898. As
the cola developed in popularity, he created the Pepsi-Cola Company in 1902 and registered a
patent Ior his recipe in 1903. The Pepsi-Cola Company was Iirst incorporated in the state oI
Delaware in 1919. The company went bankrupt in 1931 and on June 8 oI that year the trademark
and syrup recipe was bought by Charles Guth who owned a syrup manuIacturing business in
Baltimore, Maryland. Guth was also the president oI LoIt, Incorporated, a leading candy
manuIacturer and used the company's labs and chemists to reIormulate the syrup. He Iurther
contracted to stock the soda in LoIt's large chain oI candy shops and restaurants, which were
known Ior their soda Iountains, used LoIt resources to promote Pepsi, and moved the soda
company to a location close by LoIt's own Iacilities in New York City. In 1935 the shareholders
oI LoIt sued Guth Ior his 91 stake oI PepsiCo in the landmark Guth v. LoIt Inc. LoIt won the
suit and on May 29, 1941 Iormally absorbed Pepsi into LoIt, which was then rebranded as
PepsiCo. (LoIt restaurants and candy stores were spun oII at this time.) In the early 1960s the
company product line expanded with the creation oI Diet Pepsi and purchase oI Mountain Dew.
Separately, the Frito Company and H.W. Lay & Company two American potato and corn chip
snack manuIacturers began working together in 1945 with a licensing agreement allowing

become Frito-Lay, Inc. in 1961.

company it is known as at present. At the time oI its Ioundation, PepsiCo was incorporated in the
state oI Delaware and headquartered in Manhattan, New York. The company's headquarters were
