TL;DR
- Pepsi engaged in an unusual trade agreement with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
- The Soviet Union paid Pepsi with goods, including ships, due to U.S. dollar restrictions.
- This deal resulted in PepsiCo temporarily owning a fleet of over 50 vessels.
- At its peak, Pepsi's fleet was the sixth largest in the world by commercial tonnage.
- Pepsi utilized the fleet for transporting products but later sold most of the ships after the Soviet Union's dissolution.
