Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God has given them a health code called the 'Word of Wisdom'. The exact words of this health code prohibit consuming 'strong drink' and 'hot drink'. Church leaders have defined 'strong drink' as alcohol and 'hot drink' as coffee and tea.

It has been suggested that caffeinated beverages should be avoided as well, But personal interpretation of the Word of Wisdom is up to the individual. If a Mormon wishes to drink soda or cola drinks (even caffeinated ones), they are welcome to. This is a personal choice.

Is Pepsi a Coca-Cola product?

No-one really knows. Here's the order.First: Dr-Pepper (December 1, 1885)Second: Coca-Cola (1886)Third: Pepsi (Ten years later after Coke)I have tried both coke and pepsi. Coke is however kind of sweet to me. And pepsi is ok. Really you can't find the difference of coke's and pepsi's tastes. They both actually taste the same. So I wouldn't really say pepsi copied coke.

Why is Pepsi the best drink?

The Soda Museum website (link below) says that the name of Pepsi-Cola comes from pepsin, which used to be a popular ingredient in soft drinks and chewing gum. Don't listen to that up there. 1 Pepsi comes from the meanings pulled together. ex: candles.= can- dills? get my drift?
