Orașul în care s-a aflat prima fabrică de Pepsi din România, în comunism. Primele sticle, produse în mai 1967 • Newsweek România

Ovidiu, near Constanța, was the first city in Romania to produce Pepsi, starting in May 1967. Initially viewed negatively during communism, Pepsi became a symbol of the West. The production began after negotiations between PepsiCo and Romanian authorities, with a unique barter system involving Romanian wine. The factory was built in 1966, and the first bottles were produced in May 1967, marking a significant moment in Romania's economic history. Despite its rarity, Pepsi was associated with summer vacations and was often sold unofficially.
