Pepsi Cola hits the spot. Twelve ounce bottle; That's a lot! Twice as much For a nickel too. Pepsi Cola is the drink for you! Quote During depression years, this jingle encouraged price-watching consumers to switch to Pepsi from Coca-Cola, which offered a six ounce bottle for the price of five cents (a nickel), instead of the twelve ounces Pepsi sold at the same price. Pepsi's 12-ounce bottles fared well, and change wasn't made to this volume of packaging until 1963, when the 16-ounce bottle was introduced.

Will you buy that? I just saw 12 oz bottles in the grocery store. The economy must really be turning to *feces*.

Well, then, if stroh's fridge is any indication, the economy has been in the *feces*ter for years.Title: Re: signs of the recession [Econ Doom n Gloom] Post by: stroh on May 30, 2008, 09:04:49 AM I just saw 12 oz bottles in the grocery store.
