Hello from Ukraine!

It was first introduced as "Brad's Drink"in New Bern, North Carolina in 1898 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his pharmacy where the drink was sold.
It was later named ..., possibly due to the digestive enzyme and nuts used in the recipe. Bradham sought to create a fountain drink that was delicious and would aid in digestion and boost energy.
This company entered bankruptcy three times...

Yes, this is Pepsi.

But there is one more trick with it.
Did you know that number 12939 is written on every bottle of pepsi ?
Can you locate and tell where it is written ?

This is pretty fun bar bet!
I use it to start conversation : "Did you even know, that ... ?" and then throw my main bet. ;)

I post answer later :)

Flip the logo ;) Should also be noted it only works with the old style logo - the new one used in the US is lowercase so doesn't work.

Wouldn't you want to hold it up to a mirror and read the PEPSI in the mirror image? I agree the logo needs to be in upper case.

12636 perhaps?

Rotated 180 degrees it comes out 15636, flipped as a mirror image horizontally it's 12939.

Spam in the signature removed ... but am curious if the OP will return to post an answer.

Is the secret to mirror or flip the bottle? Curious minds need to know.
