> tanks and war ships in such quantities that they'd trade Pepsi for them [1]! As an aside, the Soviet Union didn't actually trade tanks and war ships for Pepsi. Well, I mean, technically they did but not in the way people might assume when they read the sentence trading Pepsi for war ships. Pepsi became nominally the owner of a derelict fleet headed to the scrap yard in 1989 as a way to bypass the Soviet Union lack of dollars. The Swedish scrap yard then directly paid Pepsi.
