In 1959, the United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower was quite pleased with the way everything was floating along the United States.

So he decided to give a slice

Therefore, the Eisenhower government established a US National Exhibition in Moscow and none other than President Then Richard Nixon over there to attend the opening and wax in the American way of life.

Nixon and Khrushchev try to convince each other that their way of life is the best.

It is a straightforward capitalism compared to the Communist argue between two of the largest players for each party.

Nixon's head exploded in the way of angry chickens, he was poking Khrushchev with his bone finger, and Khrushchev was lighter than a little nursery.

And then - like it seemed that they were about to rip their tops and resolved the Kombat style of the Cold War - Pepsi's VP, who was at the exhibition to enter.

To try and calm the top of the Soviet Union, he said something along the line of "Yo! Baby Khrushchev, chills and have a stolener on this

The Soviet Union attacked an agreement with Pepsi, where they would exchange vodka instead of currency, and that continued up to the end of the 1980s.

Pepsi rules, Pepsi ruled waves.

After the initial agreement of the Soviet Union with Pepsi has expired, Pepsi is no longer in the market for luxury Russian Vodka.

So the Soviet Union decided to exchange Pepsi something else they were in rich.

War machine.

A full scary war team worth 3 billion USD!

The new agreement saw Pepsi reserved the right to own a naval army team including no less than 17 attack submarines, a destroyer, a destroyer and a giant cruiser!

After the deal is made, the signed articles and exchange courses, Pepsi is currently the sixth largest military power in the world!

Are not!

They only sell all at par value for a Swedish scrap metal company.

And that, right there, is how Pepsi goes from a carbonated beverage company to the sixth largest army in the world, and all ways to return to a carbonated beverage company again.
