- DID Pepsi have the 6th largest navy in the WORLD???
Well, no. That's a myth. But, there is some truth to it... It almost sorta really happened. We've just added some balls.
Here's how it went down: The Kitchen Debate was a series of impromptu exchanges between U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers Nikita Khrushchev at the opening of the American National Exhibition in Moscow on 1959. During this Exhibition Nixon shared a Pepsi with Krushchev.
After that, Pepsi decided it wanted to be the only cola in the Soviet Union! So they made a deal. Initially, in the 1970s, the deal was simply Pepsi's Cola Concentrate in exchange for Stolichnaya Vodka. But after a little while, that just wasn't cutting it...
So in the late '80s, Pepsi and Russia had to renegotiate the deal. During the negotiations somebody floated the idea of trading end of life battleships and submarines (which Pepsi could sell for scrap) in exchange for Pepsi, but this was rejected as totally crazy. The deal they ended up agreeing on was frigates and oil tankers (and more vodka!) for Pepsi. Pepsi would sell the boats through an intermediary country in order to reap the profits...
But we all know how things went for the USSR... Shortly after the deal was finalized, the USSR collapsed, and Pepsi and Russia had to negotiate a (brown?) New Deal...

WorkerBoi is our fun, animation channel about the lives of workers in society and how they interact with each other, companies, and society. The style is similar to countryballs, and our channel MrSpherical, but with its own very unique animated sci-fi world!
Welcome, and we hope you enjoy!

Lol 😆
I know food theory

Surprised that the Soviet Union and Pepsi actually had a trading deal with vodka and Pepsi until the Soviet Union collapsed lol
u linked history matters nice!
@@DaBritishBird but he didn't mention matpat
Funny thing is Coke actually made "Clear coke" to sneak it across the border of the USSR to get to a high ranking officer or smth
White Coke! (no, no. The drink)
For zhukov
Marshal Zukokov liked Coke and his old comrade in Arms President Eisenhower saw to it that he got it.
@@WorkerBoi white coke? 🤨
@@WorkerBoi *Sighs heavily*
If this actually wasn't a joke, Pepsi would have had a larger Navy the Canada and Mexico.
Yeah too bad they never got paid
It would be real if USSR collapsed
There were I think the 5th strongest navy once
It wasn’t a joke but the ships were all kinda rusty and the vodka only wasn’t traded because of anti Soviet sentiment in the US making it no longer a value worth it to Pepsi.
Well they almost did
1:43 I really appreciate the extra detail given to Belarus and Georgia having a different flag, but Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan also had different flags. And while this could be ignored since this channel isn't entirely dedicated to history, I still find it quite strange that this video (regarding flags at least) is still more accurate than some of MrSpherical's.
You do know this is one of MrSphericals other channels right
Sometimes with logos and flags we try to pick the more recognizable ones instead of the period accurate flags to make the characters easier to identify. Unless it was a video about the evolution of that specific brand/country, then we would focus on using the more accurate flags/logos
@@WorkerBoi Isn’t Russia’s more period accurate flag just a slightly lighter blue on the one stripe? I feel it would be easy to recognize especially with the voice line
@@theonefilipino_editz Correct
KAZAKHSTAN IS NOT A BRICKS
Little known fact that the Pepsi logo from the 80s was much different than the one today anyway great video
Ironic since their logo is changing yet again lol
"People want Pepsi or get unhappy, but we no have Vodka. What we do?"
"We have army ships. We can use to attack unhappy people. Or we give army ships for Pepsi so people will not be unhappy. But no one would make such dumb deal."
*Moments of silence*
"Sir. You OK?"
"Give me minute to think about choices."
At this point the Mrspherical and Worker boi chanels are practicly merging
Workerboi gives a Oscar After getting his channel BIRTH!
I love it when at 1:42 their flags were accurate to when they were just out of the Soviet union, good attention to detail
Not really many conutries don’t want Pepsi
I love how russia said "screw u we want no deal" like that.But I feel bad for pepsi they didn't get their money
Honestly, they’re already a huge corporation up to that point so I wouldn’t feel bad
I don’t know how much money they spent on that deal exactly but I’m sure they had no issue recovering from that loss
They get the boats, they sold they to an iron company
@@LUCAILPRO530yeah so they can get scrapped
A Cocacola ad comes before the video😆😆😆
Wow never seen such good animation
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
The first ever soda company to own a navy.
I'm glad you didn't follow the "6th largest navy was Pepsi" lie, thank you MrSolarBoi!
hehe, MrSolarBoi sounds great
@@WorkerBoi OOOH HE ACTUALLY RESPONDED
Thx MrSolarBoi
Well let's change that navy thing shall we?
@@Someonecalledeli yes
@SolarBalls Brasil we already made our own one, so please do not try post in Brasil
im glad they added countryballs in this one
I love how USSR breakdown into multiple states and Russia pops up and say "No Screw You".
The voices always get me
Hi, I just wanted to ask if Worker Boi Three Six Five will be returning soon, because first, he last appeared in the episode, The Social Media War, which was posted a month ago, and second, it would be good to have him back because he is (obviously) the main character of the entire show. However, I still do have a good time watching your videos because what WorkerBoi episode isn’t funny? Your other channels MrSpherical and SolarBalls are also making great progress and I am subscribed to all three channels of course :) Keep up the great work!
1:42 Bro, the USSR literally blew up and Russia automatically canceled the deal... Poor Pepsi
1:43
Third but why is it hidden that is very confusing
You got an exclusive peek behind the scenes! (I should have set it as private while we finalized some things)
i probably missed this.
Mmmmmm
@@WorkerBoi lets gooo
HOLY CHEEZE! IT'S ME Thanks for featuring me!
Russia 🇷🇺 at the end 😂
:O this channel is *_awesome_*
I remember that Coca-Cola disguised Coke to make it look like vodka and sold it to Nikita Khrushchev during the 50s
not to Khrushchev, it was for Marshall Zhukov. the only man Stalin can't hurt.
Pepsi already has a new logo
yeah, but the new one looks kind of boring, don't you think?
@@WorkerBoi the new one is good
@@WorkerBoi mrworker if you arnt gen z you dont get it pepsi changed their logo to look old because gen z are teired of seeing short happyness like tiktok. they want to live the past.Even if you think Gen z dont surgrer your right, but pepsi black in the backround and zero surger at the frount.This reminds them of pepsi zero surger, and i like the logo to.
Are you and Mr.spherical same characters with different channels
I enjoy watchin ur content
Ignore that you get low views! Your content is still great.
On July 24, 1959, Pepsi-Cola made history by announcing the creation of the "Pepsi Generation" campaign. This campaign is considered to be one of the most significant marketing efforts in the company's history and changed the face of advertising industry forever.
The "Pepsi Generation" campaign was aimed at young people in their teens, twenties and thirties and was a radical departure from traditional soda advertising at the time which was targeted towards an older demographic. The campaign featured a catchy jingle, "Come alive, you're in the Pepsi Generation" and presented Pepsi as a drink that was hip, youthful and exciting.
Pepsi's innovative use of television advertisements to appeal to a younger demographic was a massive success, and the company's sales soared as a result. The "Pepsi Generation" campaign continued for over a decade and was one of the most successful marketing campaigns in American history.
In conclusion, July 24, 1959, marked the birth of the "Pepsi Generation" campaign, which revolutionized the marketing industry and made Pepsi a household name among young people. The campaign's legacy can still be seen today, with Pepsi continuing to target younger demographics in its advertising efforts.
Good animation, I hope to see workerboy joining other companies as facebook
Really amazing animation good plot.
Of course it featured some countryballs too... Nice 🙂👍
THE PEPSI NAVY
Do one on Tesla competiting with Ford, GM, Volkswagen, Toyota, Hyundai, Honda etc
Please make a video about the Pepsi logo change
Russia's response in the end seems like an average response from russia
Next would be Pepsi harrier jet incident...?
It’s weird because the president of my college was the vice president of Pepsi
Can you do the 349 incident lol
At first I thought this was stolen from mrspherical but it wasn't so good job!
The perpetual discovery yes………….
When will we? Get to see wicker boy again our main character
I don’t know what filter is over Coca Cola’s voice, but I like it.
They got some ships though... Look at History Matters.
In your next video could you do a Lego company armada
It's funny to see this video because the USSR went to war with my home country Finland in the 1940s
Ussr in thumbnail: *turns in a normal countryball*
Nixon Boi was pretty good.
COOL!
Can you do video cocacola vs pepsi?
Yes new vid
1:47 Lol
1:49 Russia be like
Coca cola vs pepsi
Talk about aggressive marketing
the 2nd "mrspherical" video to include Kazakh brick (or Kazakh ball), 3 overall to include Kazakhstan in some form.
I watch coke and Pepsi while drinking dr pepper
Kazakhstan being a ball is one of the cursed things in my life
A company with a navy!
Idea: Coke turns White when come enters Soviet Union because a general in S. U. Loved coke so much but he can only drink it in meetings with the West, so coke engineers thought of Coke turning white and then they sold it to S. U. Citizens and the general
Can u make who make the sprite
It is also explained on Food Theory
Workerboi i had a idea why burger king in austailla called hungry jacks
So that’s why Pepsi made that commercial for that harrier jet?
When the tralslations
He fit the Russian voice perfectly!
Me: Literally just mix Pepsi and Coca Cola before drinking them.
TBH why does Pepsi’s logo looks like the Netherlands flag
i want a 1 hour version of this lol 1:47
same
Yup that's me
Did anybody notice that there was no mouth on the Soviet Union ball in the thumbnail?
l just love how the thumbnail
Soviet Union's doesn't have a mouth 💀
Food Theory disapproves of this
Good
video on burger companies in India
The Whole Story about How Pepsi Got into the Soviet Union is One of those Stories that's CRAZY But Actually True and all it took was For Richard Nixon to Get into a MASSIVE pissing Contest with the Soviet Premiere and Just so happened The Pepsi Rep Saw ALL of it Go down Thinking..."I'm Gonna do a Pro Gamer Move and make Business History"
i like how now Mr.workerBoi is doing more cross overs.
Nice
make a video about NASA so literally everyone is included (MrSpherical, Solarballs, WorkerBoi)
And how would NASA get everyone included
why did you draw Pepsi with a modern logo, although at that time the logo looked different?
To make it easier to be recognized! If we ever do a video on the history on Pepsi we would try to recreate the historical logos! Most people aren't aware of how different some logos were in the beginning
Pepsi logo looks like the dutch flag
Soviet Pepsi Boi
WAIT ARE YOU IN A COLLAB WITH MR SPREICALE?
when are redditball and googleball coming?
It would have been better if there was an extra scene where pepsi said what upset coke and then cokes pees it pants and run away
I wish I had a navy
1:43. I like it when Mother Russia Explodes.
countryballs are back!
Everyone: delicate moment 1:47
