I think you're thinking of a series stories by Arthur
C. Clarke, in which a multinational Expedition
(British. American and Soviet) land on the Moon. In
one of them, a sodium flare is secretly fitted with a
stencil that forms the name of a popular soft drink in
the 1950's. Clarke nevermentions it by name, but the
commander of the British ship, used to drink a
beverage ina wasp-waisted bottle, until after the
incident.
