No. In fact PEPSI was once labeled as anti-semitic for refusing to sell their product in Israel. http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/israel.asp

No. I belive some people have just made this up to stop it's production. It could be related to pepsin the enzyme but I'm not sure.

No, it is not true. This is an example of Iranian propaganda intended to persuade people there from buying American made products. They broadcast it on a state-run TV channel.

No way! Pepsi was first made in the 1890's long before the creation of the state of Israel after WWII.

No. Pepsi was created as a more "hip" rival of Coca Cola. It has as much to do with Israel as Mountain Dew or Dr. Pepper. People really make up some stupid acronyms when they don't have any legitimate interesting stories to tell.

No. It was originally called "Brad's Drink." The name was later changed to reflect the "peppiness" of the beverage and possibly its pepsin enzyme content. And, as has already been pointed out, the name was changed to Pepsi-Cola in 1903, half a century before the creation of the state of Israel. Rumor fail.

No. In 1898 Caleb Bradham, a New Bern, North Carolina, pharmacist, renames "Brad's Drink," a carbonated soft drink he created to serve his drugstore's fountain customers. The new name, Pepsi-Cola, is derived from two of the principal ingredients, pepsin and kola nuts. It is first used on August 28.
