Which slogan did Pepsi use in its 1930s advertising to promote twice as much drink for the same price?

The story behind the answer

Pepsi used the slogan “Twice as Much for a Nickel” in 1930s advertising.

The slogan highlighted Pepsi’s unusually large 12-ounce bottle, which sold for the same five-cent price as many competing soft drinks that came in smaller bottles. It presented Pepsi as a value-oriented alternative during the economic pressures of the Great Depression.

The campaign helped turn a potential disadvantage into a selling point. Pepsi had faced financial difficulties earlier in its history, but its larger bottle and memorable radio advertising gave the brand a stronger mass-market identity.

The phrase is sometimes confused with later Pepsi slogans focused on youth, music, or celebrity endorsements. “Twice as Much for a Nickel” specifically emphasized quantity and price rather than lifestyle or pop culture.
