First thank you's are in order. Much Thanks to MemoryShock for setting this debate up and much thanks to Jason for agreeing to debate.
Pepsi History- Brief
Pepsi first came into existence from a pharmacist named Caleb Bradham in the 1890's and was first introduced as Brads Drink after its creator. In
1903 Brads Drink chaged its name to Pepsi Cola and then in 1961 it became known as simply Pepsi.
Pepsi gave us the amazing 12 ounce bottle. Pepsi also came to peoples rescue during the great depression. Pepsi also attempted to destroy the line of
division between the races, by representing African Americans in a good, respectful and kind look. Even when the Klu Klux Klan threatened many Pepsi
employees during this time of representing African Americans as equals Pepsi stood tall and did not waiver.
Even in Pepsi's origins, Pepsi was doing the good for the people, brining smiles to kids and aprents faces. Even when Pepsi went bankrupt, it came
back guns blazing and reclaimed its throne as the best soft drink. Ever since then Pepsi has developed many new products ranging from water, energy
drinks, coffee and soft drinks.
Is this even a contest? Actually it is. Lets examine and study just how coke gained its glory.
Tisk, Tisk, Tisk...Dear Coca Cola say it ain't so, you
drugged your customers? What a shame.
But just how addictive is it?
Research with cocaine has shown that all laboratory animals can become compulsive cocaine users. Animals will work more persistently at pressing a
bar for cocaine than for any drug, including opiates. An addicted monkey pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the
animal survives, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.

Wow that is a lot of times to press a button. Apparently Cocaine is extremely addictive. And since Coca Cola used it in its product its no surprise
that it had its cutomers coming back for more. But one must also remember that cocaine was not illegal at this time. What is the signifigance of this
mention?
Because isn't it odd that both Pepsi and Coke were created by Pharmacists, Coke at it's earliest beginnings started out as a alcohol and cocaine
drink. Pepsi began as a medicinal refreshing drink to aid digestion. Right off the bat, Coca Cola was a bad drink, just adding more evidence that not
only was Coke bad for you, but it was bad for its consumers for 40-50 years, before Coke removed Cocaine altogether from its ingredients,
Coke did not become cocaine free until 1929!
SOURCE What!
Pepsi never endangered its consumers as Coke has.

Is this really a contest? How can Pepsi be denied by a history of evil that Coca Cola has brought? Its almost like Great (Pepsi) vs. Average (Coke),
which Coke has become, average. Pepsi is the best tasting, has the better history, and the better future.
