Pepsi

Pepsi is a sweet and refreshing carbonated soft drink, very popular worldwide as an accompaniment to meals and celebrations. It was created in 1893 by Caleb Bradham in the United States, originally intended to be a digestive tonic. Currently, Pepsi is known for its distinctive cola flavor, which combines notes of caramel, vanilla, and a slight citrus hint.

In cooking, Pepsi is occasionally used as an ingredient in recipes for marinating meats, preparing sweet and sour sauces, or giving a unique flavor to desserts, providing a sweet and effervescent touch.

From a nutritional point of view, Pepsi is a beverage high in simple sugars and calories, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation. It does not provide significant vitamins or minerals, and due to its caffeine content, it can provide a mild stimulating effect.

Regarding its name, in Hispanic America the term Pepsi or simply cola soft drink is mostly used, although some regions may refer to it generically as cola or cola soda.
