Cola Fleet: How PEPSI Briefly Became a Naval SUPERPOWER ‼️
Are You More Pepsi or Coca-Cola?
This question is meant to anger your attention while also delving into Cold War history.
And yeah, we are going to discuss Pepsi, so please allow me to ask you a serious question:
Did you know that roughly 35 years ago, Pepsi possessed the world's sixth largest naval fleet?
Pepsi had enough weapons at that point in history to wage war on anyone who dared to oppose it.
But first, let us go in order.
How it all started
In 1959, then-US President Dwight Eisenhower decided to send a group of American cultural icons to the Soviet Union as part of a charity tour, i.e. the US and the USSR agreed to stage cultural exhibitions in their respective countries to highlight their respective lifestyles and achievements.
Among them was Donald Kendall, vice president of Pepsi, who had a bright idea: why not introduce the Soviets to the sweet taste of capitalism by offering them free Pepsi samples?
The American exhibition in Moscow included a model American house in which Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev engaged in a heated dispute over capitalism and communism known as the "kitchen debate."
