Not quite, old bean.   Pepsi Cola bottles were 12 ounces.

One of the most popular radio jingles in the late '30's went -- and I quote:

PEPSI COLA HITS THE SPOT.
TWELVE FULL OUNCES, THAT'S A LOT.
TWICE AS MUCH FOR A NICKEL, TOO,
        peep - peep!
PEPSI COLA IS THE DRINK FOR YOU!



        peep - peep!     Twice as much.

Bob Newman
