Rare 1985 Space Shuttle Challenger Pepsi can. On one side are the Pepsi and Pepsi-Cola logos. The back reads, "Young Astronaut Program United States of America. Pepsi-Cola celebrates our first flight in space, July 1985. One giant sip for mankind.” Empty can is complete with top. In fine condition. Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi designed special cans (officially the Carbonated Beverage Dispenser Evaluation payload or CBDE) to test packaging and dispensing techniques for use in zero G conditions. The experiment was classified a failure by the shuttle crew, primarily due to the lack of both refrigeration and gravity.
