Pepsi

Pepsi had been ingrained in American culture that we could hear Britney Spears singing all the catchy tunes from her advertisements with the brand. Pepsi was deemed to be America’s drink and could be seen in barbeques, birthday parties, or only during lunch. There was a story behind the name, and before it had been called Pepsi, it was known as Brad’s Drink. It referred to the pharmacist named Caleb Bradham, and he was the creator of Pepsi in North Carolina last 1983. It was named after him, but it soon became everyone’s drink.

Nike

The Nike shoe and clothing brand was famous because of the Nike swoosh and was now a staple in athletic wear. The name of the brand already packed a big punch, but the celebrities and athletes sponsored by the brand packed a bigger one. Most of us did not know, but it was originally called Blue Ribbon Sports. However, Onitsuka Tiger, a Japanese shoemaker, wanted to name the sports brand after Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. The brand surely took off and made the $1,200 initial investment worth it.
