10 coolest UNC alumni, ranked
Posted Mar 17, 2016
10. Caleb Bradham (Class of 1890) The inventor of Pepsi-Cola. He’s an alum so we share Tar Heel bonds, but I’m from Atlanta, so I still have to be Team Coke. 9. Peyton Reed (Class of 1986) An American film director most recently known for directing "Yes Man" and Marvel’s "Ant-Man," but more importantly known for directing "Bring It On!"
