This is funny, I just read something about this the other day because when I was out walking the dog I found an old Pepsi bottle and was researching how to date it. It turned out to be a 1953 bottle. I knew it must have pre-dated me because I didn`t remember the style as a kid. I believe the guy who bought Pepsi initially wanted to buy Coke for his drug store but was snubbed by Coke?????? Something like that, anyway he ended buying Pepsi and made it into a solvent company. Am I on the right track?
