That is the question I asked myself when I stared at these Pepsi bottles. About 20 years ago our family was part of a month long family exchange program in the Soviet Union. We thought it was cool to bring home Pepsi bottles written with the Cyrillic alphabet. I saved two but what do I do with them now? They\u2019re not quite display items, yet I don\u2019t want to drink them. (I\u2019m not sure of the shelf life of pop in bottles.) Hmmm. I wonder if it would be worth money on E-Bay? Whoops, that wouldn\u2019t be giving it away. Now that I have a photo of it maybe that\u2019ll do. Since I\u2019m on the souvenir theme, this week I\u2019m also clearing out some other minor souvenirs from Russia, Korea, Japan, and Africa.<\/p>\n<p><input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"gwProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/> <input id=\"jsProxy\" type=\"hidden\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giving away trinkets is one thing, but what about when trinkets are mementos of a foreign trip and you\u2019ll probably never go to that country again?
