World War Defence

Those of us old enough to remember the goings on with the Soviet Union remember that back then, Pepsi Cola (PepsiCo) and the Soviet Union reached agreement that Pepsi would have the franchise for the entire Soviet Union for distribution of their products . . . All the news sources were busily reporting on all these news bit that nobody thought oa sk how they were go ing to pay for the billins of dollars of product, support, advertising, etc. since eht Soviet Union had no hard currency and could not get the USD dollars then needed to buy Pepsi or anything else from the West.

Decommissioned submarines became the coin of the real! That is correct - - in a story uncovered by Sharkhunters, it was leaned tha the Soviet Union was paying for Pepsi products with submariners. A Whiskey Class submarine, delivered to a Swedish breaker yard was worth $200,000 in Exchange. The many whiskey Class boats weret t to the breaker yards in Sweden to be converted nto cash then into Pepsi. PepsiCo denied this until we told them we received the news directly from a PepsiCo executive so there is no question  this was [not] taking place.
