>In 1989, the initial deal between the government of >the Soviet Union and PepsiCo was about to expire >and a new three-billion-dollar deal was made.
>This time the vodka bottles were not enough to pay >for the soda and Russia used what it had plenty of at >that time – military equipment.
>Altogether 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate and a >destroyer were given to the Pepsi Company in return >for the constant flow of sugary drink that the Soviet >people had learned to love so much.
