Pepsi Sign Trumps Building
Do you want to know about a famous Pepsi sign? Sure you do. It's located on the East River in New York City. Pepsi built it in 1936. How important is this sign?
Well, the sign is so important that an apartment building going up behind it has been designed for the sign. That's right, the bottom floors of the building a recessed 12 feet to make the vintage sign respectfully gets its due. In fairness, the sign was actually placed there intentionally in 1999 as nostalgic decoration. It had actually sat atop the company's bottling plant on Long Island until the plant was demolished. Still, keep in mind America that while The Great Obesity War rages with soda as a prime target, we are still willing to modify skyscrapers to accommodate the so-called culprit. More power to 'em!
