    Default Welcome Home Billy!

    So my little brother gets out of the Corps next month (fingers crossed), and I came across an old Pepsi can awhile back while antiquing, that I feel fits him quite well. His name is Matthew, but had a Nickname of Billy during high school. I'm curious if any of you fine folks recognize this Pepsi can, particularly the year Pepsi came out with these. My folks (both 49) couldn't put a date on it, so maybe ya'll can help me. Thanks in advance!



    Apologies for the poor photo, lighting just wouldn't cooperate.

    Looks like 1981 according to this website: http://www.usasoda.com/Pepsi1980.htm

    Congrats to Matthew.

    Wow, thanks for the info guys, I knew you could help me out. Also thanks for the kind words on his safe return. For what its worth in 81, I hadn't even been thought of for another 2 years.
