5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: Did you know that Pepsi, the drink the company technically

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: briefly had their own navy in nineteen eighty nine. They

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: owned literal warships and submarines. So I had to know more. Yeah, So,

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty nine, Pepsi briefly owned Soviet warships and submarines.

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: As part of a unique Cold War trade deal. They

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: traded its cola syrup for vodka and acquired a fleet

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: of seventeen attack submarines and other warships, making it one

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: of the largest navies in the world at the time.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: The deal was part of a broader strategy to expand

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Pepsi's presence in the Soviet market, which had been largely

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: closed to Western goods since nineteen seventy two. The trade

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: highlight of the unusual intersection of soft drink sales military

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: power during the Cold War. So Pepsi had attack warships briefly. Wow,

18
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,120
