PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP (http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=PEP)) is a global snack and beverage company. The Company manufactures, markets and sells a variety of carbonated and non-carbonated beverages as well as salty, convenient, sweet and grain-based snacks, and other foods. Beside Pepsi the company manufucatures 7-Up, (outside the US through 7-Up International, Cadbury-Schweppes plc sells it in the US), Quaker Oats, Gatorade, Frito-Lay and Tropicana. Oddly enough, PepsiCo is a slightly different company from The Coca-Cola Company, it has three times as many employees, larger revenues, and a much more expensive stock price, but a smaller net profit (See comparison at Yahoo Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=PEP)). The company formed for distribution and bottling is the Pepsi Bottling Group (NYSE: PBG (http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=PBG)). PepsiCo is a SIC 2080 (beverage) company.

Until 1997, it also owned Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell, but these fast-food restaurants were spun off into Tricon Global Restaurants, now Yum! Brands, Inc.
