Yeah, I know, they own Yum! Brands, which owns a bunch of fast food places ... (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) ... all of which have declined so much in quality and service that I've hardly visited one in years (I was never tempted to visit a Pizza Hut unless they were just about the only thing around, or the local franchise was exceptional)... last time I went to a Taco Bell, they had literally none of my favorites on the menu .... just a bunch of weird shit that came out of bottom-line, carbo-loading corporate kitchens who profit from heavy advertising campaigns, not good food. Pepsi is just SOOOOOO Republican -- they can't win if they play by the rules because they have nothing interesting to offer, so they have to cheat to stay in business.

When your business model requires that you cheat your customers, cheat your suppliers, and cheat your competition, you shouldn't be in business. Here's hoping their stock plummets as this becomes widely known.
