Pepsi, in the 10 oz. bottle and Coke in the 6 1/2 oz. both cost a nickel.

The original Pepsi singing jingle said, and I quote "Pepsi Cola hits the spot. Twelve full ounces, that's a lot. Twice as much and for a nickle too. You know Pepsi is the drink for you."

Back in the depression days, getting twice as much cola for a nickle was really something. I loved the jingle. Didn't care much for the cola so our family stuck with Coke (or Co-Cola as these Georgians pronounce it).

I'm simply questioning the 10 oz bottle you mentioned when the original jingle said 12 oz.

From grammar school:

Pepsi-Cola hits the spot
Ten minutes later you’re on the pot
Push the button, pull the chain
There goes Pepsi down the drain

Pepsi indeed was sold in 12 oz. bottles. Age dims the memories a bit.
