It was later labeled Pepsi Cola, named after the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe. Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy. The original trademark application for Pepsi-Cola was filed on September 23, 1902 with registration approved on June 16, 1903.

The Globetrotters originated on the south side of Chicago, where all the original players were raised. They decided to pick Harlem as their home city, since Harlem was considered the center of African-American culture at the time and an out-of-town team name would give the team more of a mystique. The Globetrotters didn’t actually play a game in Harlem until 1968. Over the years they have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in 123 countries and territories.

A former mechanic during World War II, Lamborghini built a tractor business using leftover military hardware. By 1955, his tractor company was one of Italy's largest farming equipment manufacturers. Finding himself in a position to indulge his passion for luxury cars, Lamborghini began buying Alfa Romeo’s, Maserati’s, and Ferrari’s. He decided to build the perfect grand touring car, and after several years of working with top designers, the Lamborghini 350GTV was unveiled at the 1963 Turin Motor Show.
