I mean free chips have pretty decent value and for all of the jokes win the West make about the USSR their ships were really f durable so that would have been a completely Fair Deal. Is so ships would be able to generate a s ton of money for Pepsi whether by selling them to interested parties who needed cold-weather capable ships or by leasing them out for a reoccurring profit. I wonder if they even got delivery of one ship at all. 18 months doesn't seem like long enough to make a frigate Fleet.

What the world could really use right about now is large corporations engaging in naval battles, cruise missile strikes against each others' bottling facilities and factories, blockading of ports used by their competition, etc.

What are your sources?
I looked up articles from the time, but they hadn't sited sources backing it up as true.
Although old, busted, decommissioned warships wouldn't have really been a navy anyhow.

Just the fact that this presenter routinely uses the expression to raise the question instead of misusing the non-synonymous to beg the question is reason to watch his stuff. Guy's not ignorant.
reply

Anyone got any sources for this one? All the pieces I can find say that the deal did go through, and that Pepsi DID have the navy?
I'm super sus, just because I really want the meme to be true

reply

It is still ironic that a communist country would even suggest selling their own warships to one of the most capitalist private company which would literally upset the idea of Marxism-Leninism

As I recall, at one time Disneyland had the world's eighth largest (according to Walt Disney) Submarine Fleet (meaning of course the ride.

Pepsi: finally after this all this trouble we have access to the Soviet market
USSR: shatters
Pepsi: ah shit here we go again

Ok Pepsi didn't have a navy, but did you know that Vodafone was the largest producer of steel pipes at one point in time.
reply

Who the hell would believe that a Major Superpower exchanged its decommissioned navy on Pepsi license.
Ah yes, everyone

reply

Is it just me, or the Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania territory colors stacked on each other look like the German flag?
reply

But wait a second, did you not say that they owned merchant ships? So they had a merchant navy, and uniformed crew.
reply

OK let's just give Pepsi all of the worlds military that sould fix all of this but coke will we out of business

You I think the tiught of what cake would do with an aircraft carrier will give me nightmare tonight.
reply

Fck Pepsi and their products. We still boycott all their sht after the scam they pulled in The Philippines.
reply

We should never forget the sneak-attack on the Pepsi fleet by Coca-Cola's aircraft carrier task force.

I heard this get mentioned on QI many years ago, which immediately made me think it couldn't be true.
