A HS friend went to the USSR in the 80's. She brought me back a bottle of Pepsi. (I collect bottles.) It was so weak you could almost see through it.

She also told me a funny story about the vending machines. Do you remember the kind that would drop a cup and mix the syrup, ice, and CO2 for a fresh cup of each time? You would take and enjoy the drink. In the USSR, the cup was tethered to the machine. You drank the soda and put it back for the next customer!!! YUCK!
