助記提示
1、可樂樹(Cola)是原產于非洲西部的一種樹，其名稱是根據它的原產地名稱拉丁化而來；由于很多飲料使用可樂果作為原料，因此cola又可表示可樂類飲料；cola還可以是可口可樂(Coca-Cola)和百事可樂(Pepsi-Cola)的縮略形式。
2、Coca-Cola: So called because original ingredients were derived from coca leaves and cola nuts. It contained minute amounts of cocaine until 1909.
3、Pepsi-Cola: probably from pepsin; early Pepsi ads tout it as a digestive aid.
