Here the slogan does most of the work: "Today's pace is for the Slender" pitches a cola as a light, modern choice for people keeping up with a busy day and a changing sense of fashion. Pepsi-Cola, created in the 1890s, became a major rival to Coca-Cola and leaned heavily on magazine advertising to reach households across the country. Ads like this one show how soft drinks were sold on lifestyle as well as taste, tying a bottle of cola to an active, up-to-date routine. It is a useful window onto how American beverage makers spoke to consumers in the mid-20th century.
