## About <!--about-->
Pepsi Cola in the three-litre bottle, 101.4 fl oz, is a large party-size pack of PepsiCo's flagship cola sold in the United States.[^wikipedia-pepsi] USDA FoodData Central records the label under Pepsi-Cola North America Inc., with a 3 L package and a 12 fl oz (360 ml) serving.[^usda] It declares carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavor, and gives 42 kcal and 11.4 g of added sugars per 100 ml.[^usda] Photographs on Open Food Facts show the blue Pepsi globe label with a 150-calorie serving icon and about eight servings per container.[^photo] The barcode has been on record since at least 2007, when the first Barcodepedia listed it as "Pepsi Cola".[^oldpage]

Pepsi was created in 1893 by the pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina, and renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898.[^wikipedia-pepsi]
