Fun Fact:
To show support of the war effort in WWII, Pepsi unveiled a new bottle cap that featured the Pepsi script logo surrounded by swirling red and blue colors on a white background. As Pepsi Cola in that timeframe was very recognizable with its script logo in the same manner as its main rival Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola's new R/W/B cap logo was simply meant as a show of U.S. Patriotism as opposed to a marketing scheme.
The Crown (bottle cap) logo, however, quickly caught on, and by the end of the war
in 1945 became Pepsi Cola's primary logo!
