Pepsi dates back to 1893 (as Brad's Drink, and in 1898 it became Pesi-Cola).

Yeah, it was definitely a thing when my grandfather was growing up. He always laughed at the "pepsi generation" ads because he considered himself to be the pepsi generation because a bottle of pepsi was almost twice the size of a bottle of coke when he was growing up, so that was all he drank. Growing up with a single father in rural eastern kentucky in the 1930s, he took what he could get.

Wondering what the 1965 date in the post is referring to now?

1965 was when Pepsi-Cola Company merged with Frito Lay and formed PepsiCo Inc. Pepsi-Cola was first formulated in 1898 by Caleb Bradham.
