Coke still uses HFCS. I can get Pepsi (and Mountain Dew) made with real sugar in a Wal-Mart that caters to Mexicans and Asians.

Companies should not mix politics with business.
This is why I don’t buy Starbucks and why I will never own a Crapple computer.
Yeah, I have to agree that one item is WORST downside to the script, by far. They could have found another much better American hero, say, Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.
LOL! At first I thought you were gonna reference the boob dylan ad but that was for Chrysler. Wonderin’ who did the voice over for bob since you could actually understand what was said.

I’ll be drinking diet Mountain Dew.

Okay. I can stay away from Coca Cola products. No biggie.
You can get Throwback Pepsi made of real sugar, in CA.
As far as I can tell, it’s made in the USA.
I drink water.
Yes, but the Mexican Cokes cost $1 to $1.25 at the local grocery stores. The Pepsis in cans (12 pack) cost the same as the other Pepsico products.
