What? 1956 ad: Pepsi Cola is the choice drink of mental patients when forced fluids are indicated.

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) May 9th, 2011

1956 issue of Mental Health Magazine states, “Pepsi Cola is the patients drink of choice, when forced fluids are indicated”. The ad shows patients in a ward, drinking supposedly Pepsi from a glass and a glass straw. Since when, did mental hospitals allow glass anything to be handled by a mental patient? Question: how did Pepsi Cola become the patients choice? Did they take a survey?
