I was surprised to find RC is also common in the country Georgia (Sakartvelo), but Coke seemed to most common, and I do not recall ever seeing an RC advertisement, especially with tanks.
And it turns out that Georgia (US) is also the birthplace of RC Cola, but Columbus, Georgia instead of Atlanta, Georgia. The inventor was angry at Coca-Cola for refusing to sell him syrup at a bulk discount so he made his own competing product instead, which he sold at a lower price than Coca-Cola.
