Pride of the Carolinas offers a visually rich look at the history of Pepsi-Cola through the lens of the Carolinas region, where the soft drink giant has deep roots. Published in 1986, this paperback draws on archival photographs to chronicle the growth of Pepsi from its early bottling operations to its broader place in American beverage culture. The book explores the company's regional significance, touching on the people, plants, and communities that helped shape its identity in North and South Carolina. Images capture vintage delivery trucks, bottling facilities, advertising materials, and company milestones, making it a compelling resource for both beverage industry enthusiasts and regional historians. With its focus on photographic documentation, the book serves as a visual time capsule of mid-twentieth century American commerce and consumer culture. A worthwhile addition for collectors of soda memorabilia, corporate histories, or Carolinas local history.
