campaign featuring the jingle "Pepsi-Cola hits the
spot / Twelve full ounces, that's a lot / Twice as much
for a nickel, too / Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you",
arranged in such a way that the jingle never ends.
Pepsi encouraged price-watching consumers to
switch, obliquely referring to the Coca-Cola standard
of 6.5 ounces per bottle for the price of five cents (a
nickel), instead of the 12 ounces Pepsi sold at the
same price. Coming at a time of economic crisis, the
campaign succeeded in boosting Pepsi's status. From
1936 to 1938, Pepsi-Cola's profits doubled.
