Remember when Over Simplified pulled the same on us when he revealed a war actually wasn't started over a bucket?
Yup, but that was less disappointing than this one, in my opinion.
At least there the bucket was real and involved, here it was just an idea that never happened.
When Thanos said: "Reality is often dissappointing" he was talking about this.

You have top comment and you totally ruined the video😭
@@ch1psaway Wait until you hear how the video ruined history fiction for me xD
and when he said “reality can be whatever I want,” he was talking about all the other videos about this
Yeah, I also wished for Pepsi navy troops taking down Coca-cola HQ
"an idea floated by the Soviet government." I "sea" what you did there.
But it seems the truth has given many, a sinking feeling
I 'sea' what you did there.
Oh wait, you did that already.
.. *hands over begrudging thumbs up*
I'm going to put your house out in the ocean and sink it.
Came here exclusively for your comment.
Coca-Cola was willing to take the Cola Wars to the next level as well. Cold War has nothing on that rivalry.
The war to end all wars
Me: I perfer ice tea anyway
Coca Cola and Pepsi are no match for the overpowered Fanta.
A cold war that saw violence via proxy wars in smaller cola brands.

"For a private company that would be a fairly impressive navy"
**Laughs in Dutch East Indian Company"**
Or British India.. Companies with their own armies and wars should not be allowed.
@@Carewolf allow me to introduce you to Blackwater (nowadays Academi) and Wagner Group.
Theses are private owned companies that provide mercenaries to conflicts all over the world.
@@alioshax7797 And should be illegal under international law, but there is nobody to enforce it.
@@alioshax7797
Wagner is pretty much just a Russian army group operating under the guise of a private company though. Something to send in if Putin thinks a Russian invasion needs some transparent coverup and Russian warcrimes need deniability.
@ The ties between a mercenary company and its government are always close. Academi are following the Pentagon's recommandation, at least, they won't ever be engaged along side actors considered like a threat by the US.
That's true, Yevgeny Prigozhin is known to be a friend of Putin, and Wagner do act like some extension of the Russian army.
But what's the difference with Academi in Iraq ? Or in Afghanistan ? Or in Centrafrique, and Mozambique ? Erik Prince, in his way, is also representing americans interest abroad.

I never knew this theory existed and I'm deeply disappointed that it's not true
Using a shattering glas shard effect to demonstrate the USSR collapsing is *always* the best.
Especially in a video about Pepsi
Imagine Pepsi having/keeping those ships and occasionally pelting Coca Cola factories.
Ah yes the great Pepsi-Coca Cola war, it sounds deadly
@@cejuliusjulius7787 Sprite and 7 Up also picked sides in the conflict. It was very brutal.
That sounds like a cool game ngl. No for real if there was a game about Pepsi and Coca Cola having a war, I would love it.
@@coffeedq9061 Sprite and 7 Up are brands owned by The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo respectively.
Actually they went with the Harrier jump jets, more economical, less man hour intensive. But after bombing Coke home office in Atlanta, Coke went to the UN where they began sanctions against Pepsi tactical operations.
This is my absolute favourite channel on RUclips and is the perfect channel for a history interested individual as myself. Keep up the good work and hopefully you get the recognition you deserve
Pepsi finds a new way to deal with coke.
>tfw Coke is about to get 51% market share

The fact that "dealing with coke" has two meanings, makes this even funnier.

When the Pepsi Challenge is a literal declaration of war.
Growing up in the USSR I remember trying Pepsi for my first and only time in the late 80s as a kid. I loved it, but it was simply impossible to find on a regular bases, but it kickstarted my love affair with soft drinks, even the Russian-made ones that were readily available.
Pepsi: "That was annoying but at least we finally negotiated being able to sell our products in the Soviet Union!"
Soviet Union: *shatters*
Pepsi: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-"
ck."
The fact that the Soviet Union had a plan to give them warships as part of the payment should have been a red flag.
That glass breaking sound just makes it more hilarious
Pepsi: Ah sh*t, here we go again
You can see a Pepsi logo advertisement in an uploaded video of the 1987 Red October Parade. So they did succeed to a degree.
I've read this story so many times on Reddit, it's nice to hear the real story for once.
Great video mate!
History Matters: Pepsi did NOT have the Sixth largest navy in the world
r/HistoryMemes: *panik*
But but, muh meme reposts
Oh no, with one of their memes gone they will only have 4 left!!
Half of the stuff there is false, they constantly straight up make things up and thousands of people see the meme and think it’s true and that’s how there’s so many false history ‘facts’ especially about France and Italy in WW2
@@st-wf7pe That's not unique to history memes. I don't think anybody on reddit has even the slightest clue on what day it is. Half the nerds on that site just watch kurzgesagt and crashcourse videos and then go around like they're some great internet academics when really they are pretentious pseudo-intellectuals.
@@JamesTaylor-on9nz No suprise there since this is the same subreddit that lost to weebs in the r/Historymemes - r/Animemes war by beating them with better history memes content.
Well one of the South Korean company (영유통) actually tried bought lots of former Soviet naval vessels as 'scrap metals'. That includes Kiev-class aircraft carrier 'Minsk' and 'Novorossiysk', Udaloy-class anti submarine destroyer 'Admiral Zakharov', Kresta II class anti submarine cruiser 'Vasily Chapayev', totaling 127 surface ships, 93 auxiliary ships, 39 submarines including 6 nuclear submarines. The contract was made at 1995. While Minsk was not disassembled and currently at Nantong, China, Almost all the other ships were disassembled at South Korea including Novorossiysk. In Busan, three 4000-ton russian submarine was disassembled.
There was a highly popular rumor in Japan and China during the purchase of Minsk. Because she had original armaments(without ammunitions though) and electronic equipments(excluding radars but all the other sensors, fire control systems, etc) during the intial contract. However when this news surfaced many people within and outside South Korea opposed 'commission' of Soviet made aircraft carrier in ROKN, so Russian navy troops destroyed(literally, with explosives) Minsk before she was delivered to South Korea. The ship was later sold to China, so both South Korea and China has some grasp of Soviet aircraft carrier technologies.
"It never happened"
*My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined*
Could be worse. If we did not hear about it we probably would not have this fun video explaining why we even think Pepsi had a navy.
Pretty much, as well as all of those YT videos that believed it.
stfu literally every comment is that
There are two options: you copied this or everybody copied it from you.
@@Ywnbaw-yl7bf Or its a well known meme.... which it is
I always wondered how a couple of ships could make the fifth largest navy.
it only counted navies with technology capable of competing with other navies on the list
a WW1 edition ship wouldn't even be considered a ship when put up against a WW2 edition ship, I can't fact check this but I believe this is how they measure it
Wait what. A seemingly extreem and weird story that is being spread around the internet without any sources didn't actually happen? Who would have thought.
add the story of the eight spiders that get eaten every year by hoomans in their sleep debunked by lemmino
@@Kaiserniv That myth is actually a myth in itself.
@@clamsclams that is a deep down rabbit hole where the creator or the person that brought the myth to light was a myth in itself
@@Kaiserniv And the 80 Liechtenstein soldiers who came back with 81
The logical follow-on from this video;
When, and where, was the largest private army?
Without doing research of any kind, I'm inclined to think it might've been the East India Company?
Which East India Company?
As far as I know, there are at least two East India Company, British and Dutch.
“Would it be the sixth largest navy? No, not even close.” THANK YOU!
I just love the breaking glass gag with the USSR's dissolution.
"It never happened"

That breaking glass sound though.
If only Pepsi had negotiated with James Bisonette alongside them...
Or Kelly Money Maker or Spinning Three Plates
@@CraigTheCriminal moe.
Izzy?
My goodness your channel is taking me to places in history I never dreamed I’d go! I’ve never even heard this incredible tale. Thank you, I think.
Pepsi was able to afford with the help of Spinning Three Plates
Also James Bissonette, Rashid Ali, Phil the Oink Oink and Kelly money maker.
I think we can all agree Phil the Oink Oink had the largest role by far
@Wacky Venky I think its spelled izzy but ok
And The Pastry Section
When I worked for Pepsico, the said they had the biggest or 2nd biggest trucking fleet either in the US or the world I can't remember. It wouldn't surprise me if they had a huge navy, but I never heard anything about this while working there.
Imagine Pepsi changes their minds about selling it and instead goes and invades Greenland
Pepsiland and they'll have practically infinite supply of ice😂
Or they could invade Iceland.

What’s even there other then ice and snow?

Lost a navy? How embarrassing.

*Reality is often disappointing*
If Pepsi really had a navy, they could've come out victorious over Coca Cola in the destructive Cola Wars of the previous decades.
I wasn't expecting the glass shattering sound effect at the end. You surprised a pretty loud laugh from me in a quiet public place. Thanks for that.
Pepsi could have had the 6th largest have if only James Bissonete had funded them
Thanks for this video.. I was in the Soviet Union in 1991 ( just before the collapse) and wondered why Pepsi had a large presence there.. I heard about this Navy story but never followed up on it til now... Many many years later 😆
I would love to see the Pepsi navy fight the Coca-Cola navy.
They’re all pretty much the same anyway
@@Downbubbles2 That's how the ColaWars 1 starts
And I hope Pepsi would win. Coca Cola is a racist jerk who tells its employees to “be less white.” Who the Hell would have the nincompoop mind to think of something like that?

Ideea: how was Iceland occupied by the ottoman empire
I've always wondered about that
It was?
Wtf??!! When they did that!!
it was a pirate raid, hardly an occupation
It was only raided by Mediterranian Pirates of Dutch and North African who were sailing under the Ottoman flag, they abducted 300 Icelanders and sold them as slaves.
@1:32 , “the sale of these warships for scrap was an idea ‘FLOATED’ by the soviet government but it was never accepted” ........PUN intended, appreciated and liked !!!
Delivering Pepsi via ICBM launchers has got to be the coolest concept ever though. Just don't open those cans immediately after.
