Nostalgia & Pepsi Cola

Hmmm....Now if i say Pepsi cola it doesnt mean the PEPSI which we drink today. It was a flavoured & Coloured liquid frozen in a plastic tube which we used to suck til the end...only to get our tongues painted in vivid colours. The most famous brand(U see thats wat education teaches u....BRANDS) those days, when i was a young boy aged 10 was LABELLA. It was for sure a royal treat when we used to get one of those. Irrespective of what our parents said about the ill effects of having one.....infact we never used to believe them.
25 Paise.....thats wat it used to cost...a princely sum for we small kids at that time...Cleverly used to take 50 Piase from mom...use one half to buy a samll pepsi cola....then save the other half as a treasure.
Today pepsi cola has almost died out.....has become the symbol of unhygiene.....kids dont have it anymore.....Still remember those day when we used to walk back from school to home sucking a pepsi cola....one in each hand.....hmmmmm...thats Pepsi cola....i wonder how it got its name.
It could have been coca cola also.....i think Pepsi had the upper hand those days.........
adios
