Elvis’ first guitar was a birthday gift that his parents bought him in 1946. Elvis wore a cross, the Hebrew symbol “”chai”” and The Star of David around his neck. “”I don’t want to miss out on heaven due to a technicality,”” he said. Elvis’s favorite toothpaste was Colgate, his favorite aftershave was Brut, and his favorite soft drink was Pepsi. Elvis collected marble statues of the Venus de Milo and Joan of Arc.
