Video Description

Pepsi owned a fleet of Soviet warships in the late 1980s. 🚢 To trade with the USSR’s worthless ruble, Pepsi swapped soda for 17 submarines, a frigate, a destroyer, and a cruiser. The ships? Obsolete and scrapped. It was a bold gamble on the Soviet market that sank with the USSR’s collapse. #Pepsi #SovietUnion #ColdWar #History #WeirdFacts
