Tangerines from Morocco, processed cheese from Finland, vegetable preserves from Hungary and Bulgaria – Soviet housewives knew how to put together an impressive holiday table. Foreign products, like other goods, were mainly supplied from socialist bloc countries and rarely from Western nations. One of the first capitalist countries to start supplying food to the USSR was Finland. Viola cheese boxes with the girl on the label were eagerly purchased, as were frozen vegetables from Poland and canned vegetables from Bulgaria and Hungary. Nearly every housewife would have a can of green peas saved for the New Year's table. Some products, like bananas, were bought unripe. Bunches of green bananas (brought to the USSR from Ecuador and Cuba) were tucked away in a cupboard to ripen. A typical scene from a Soviet movie: the hero shows off his apartment, and in one of the rooms, naturally, stands a coveted wall unit with a bar, displaying bottles of foreign alcohol. Czechoslovak beer, Bulgarian brandy, and Romanian vermouth were all supplied to the Soviet Union. Pepsi not only established deliveries but also made a mark in other ways. In 1959, it presented its products at the exhibition in Moscow's Sokolniki Park, and in the 1970s, the first Pepsi production facility opened in Novorossiysk.
