The [[Coca-Cola]] vs. Pepsi-Cola "war" in the international economy has become famous. During the [[Cold War]] the [[Soviet]] Communists chose Pepsi as their national soft drink franchise whereas the [[China|Chinese]] Communists chose Coca-Cola as their national soft drink franchise. After the fall of the [[USSR]] in 1991 Pepsi sales declined in Russia because it was associated with the old hated [[Bolshevik]] regime so Coca-Cola rose to a dominant position in the Russian soft drink industry. The Islamic government in Iran has condemned Pepsi as a pro-Jewish organization and claims that Pepsi stands for "Pay every penny to save Israel".<ref>[https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/03/05/8401292/index.htm CNNMoney.com - ''Iran's Cola War'']</ref>

In September 2022 the [[fascist]] regime of [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] placed Pepsi on its International Sponsor of War list. Ukraine’s National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NACP) wrote: “Despite the declaration of reduction of their business, cessation of advertising activities, and production of their products, they continue to work in the [[Russian Federation]], paying significant taxes to its budget, thereby supporting the economy of the aggressor country.” To compensate however, Pepsi added "support for Ukraine" in its advertising in Ukraine. In January 2024 Pepsi announced cessation of all mentions of war hostilities, the [[Ukrainian armed forces]], or calls to support the Ukrainian fascist regime.<ref>https://eprimefeed.com/latest-news/pepsico-banned-ukraine-from-mentioning-the-ukrainian-armed-forces-and-military-operations-in-advertising-rossiyskaya-gazeta/448950/</ref>
