Coke and Pepsi CEOs are foreigners.

The nation's largest soda marketers -- which have been feeling the heat from health advocates -- on Tuesday pledged to reduce beverage calories consumed per person nationally by 20% by 2025.
Executives from PepsiCo, Coca-Cola Co. and Dr Pepper Snapple group announced the goal in New York City at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative.

Store brand it is then.
How about people actually drink less soda? This is babysitting idiocy at its best!
Doesn’t matter to me - I don’t drink their swill anyway.
Maybe if they suck up, they’ll be among the last to the gulags.
They are either preemptively sucking up or have been threatened....
Or both././
Bye Bye Coke and Pepsi profits. Never thought I would have to boycott Coke and Pepsi, oh Babylon how the mighty have fallen.
What stupidity. What if someone desires to drink two cans instead of one? Will that soon be a federal crime?
If Bloomberg could get his way, yes, it will be a federal criminal offense to have two cans of soda.
Kroger time...
It’s the smart move. “Yeah we’ll reduce people’s calorie intake... OK boys business as usual”. It gets them coverage from the whiners, and lets them keep selling what people want. Just like McDonalds regularly adding salads to the menu, everybody knows they won’t sell, but hey they’re making low calorie low fat options available.
If they want to sell additional low calorie versions of their products, that’s OK with me. However, if they change existing products they will lose their customers.
I hope they lose billions.
Actually, their ginger ale and Sprite copies are pretty tasty. I mix them with cranberry juice on crushed ice.
Pepsi Executives: Hey I got an idea- sell the suckers smaller bottles and cans and charge higher prices because it’s reduced calories!
oh wait.....
Smaller cans and smaller glass bottles would help. Yes, I know they have them already, but the per unit cost is much higher. Also, I think using cane sugar would probably be better than corn syrup. Definitely, would taste better.
They used to have a product called “Coke 2”. It had half the calories of regular coke and tasted the same to me.
Anyhow, I usually drink some soda every day...just smaller portions 4 ounces vs normal 12/16 oz container. Soda shouldn’t be guzzled by the gallon.
