Abstract:

Long a part of eastern North Carolina culture, Pepsi was created in 1896 in New Bern by Caleb D. Bradham. Pepsi began to be bottled in Greenville in 1908, the bottling company passing through several hands over the years. The Minges family took over the franchise in 1935, and have made substantial contributions to the area ever since.
