    Description

    Pepsi:Cola has had a colorful history and its way to becoming the second biggest soft drink seller. They are number 2 and have to try harder.
    In 1898, a pharmacist by the name of Caleb Bradham invented a product he called "Pepsi:Cola" and got the name authorized in 1902. The name grew with franchises being set up all over.  During and after WWI, sugar was at a premium.  The price jumped from 3 cents to 28 cents.  Bradham bought a large quantity of the sugar.  That led to the downfall.  Pepsi:Cola's assets were sold for ,000.  But in 1923, after the company went bankrupt, they had to re-invent themselves. Under new management, the had to do more than Coca Cola to survive.
    On this glass, "Pepsi" and "Cola" are connected by an equal sign. You can plainly see this vertical equal sign in on this glass.  Later, in the 1940's, Pepsi and Cola were connected by a simple dash.  After 1953, Pepsi-Cola was simply printed "Pepsi" on all their advertising products.
    This is a rare reminder of those times.  It is very rare to see a Coca Cola syrup line glass.  Even more rare to see a Pepsi:Cola one.  That's why every Pepsi collector should have one of these in their collection.  It is, however, a reproduction.
    It is truly beautiful, even has a bubble in the glass, just like an older one.  It features "Pepsi:Cola" one side, and "Syrup Line" on both sides.  It is 5" tall, and 2 1/4" diameter at the top.
