Yep, the Coca-Cola vs Pepsi rivalry didn't initially began in the Eighties. It actually began in the Thirties.

Try figuring out the reason why they're unavailable in other countries. Coca-Cola's Pibb Xtra. Instead of Pibb Xtra, Coca-Cola sells Dr Pepper in various countries due to a licencing agreement with Keurig Dr Pepper. Pepsi's Starry. Instead of Starry, Pepsi sells 7Up in various countries also due to a licencing agreement with Keurig Dr Pepper.

I haven't made this up.

Remember when Pepsi did a commercial featuring Pink, Britney Spears and Beyoncé as gladiators? I did and they covered the Queen classic "We Will Rock You".

It started in 2002 with Pepsi Blue, a blue raspberry-flavoured drink. And recently with Pepsi Electric, a lemon and lime-flavoured drink.

It's a new ad for the Pakistani market promoting the rebranded Pepsi Zero Sugar (Pepsi Max in the UK) variant.  

This was a 1997 Portuguese ad for the British girl group's sponsorship with the soft drink that occured during the year and it was during the time when Pepsi underwent a major overhaul with their Generation Next branding.
