“Pepsico inc announces the suspension of the sale of Pepsi-Cola, and global beverage brands in Russia, including 7up and Mirinda- Reuters”
It’s also great for cleaning corroded battery terminals. That’s why I don’t drink it.
Thanks for the update.
“Our hearts are with the people who are enduring unconscionable effects from these tragic events in Ukraine”
...”but didn’t want to do anything about it until the pressure got too hot on us as we were one of the last companies to pull out”
Maybe the Russians will come up with their own version of Fanta...
I hope that they realize that Putin will declare sanctions on them and seize their assets.
They want regime change in Russia, Putin is in the way of their global reset just as Trump was in the way these BASTARDS are unconscionable!!!
This behavior is stupid and has a different end game on the psychology of the masses. Be careful what you wish for. Coke Cola and Hershey bars have done more positive diplomacy with problem states than our own state department diplomats. Cisco and cooking oils as well. 5 gallons of cooking oil can make you the idol of a small town in some places.
Crisco, not Cisco. Sorry.
Yes, do it, but how does that hurt Putin’s aggressive warmongering?
So? I’m sure there is plenty of Ruski-Cola.
We're pulling out eh? Strategic withdrawal eh? The Woke have spoken? Who are the Woke? This is 1961 Atlanta!
The Coke “secret formula” isn’t that hard to duplicate.
Agree, it’s all about the marketing.
Same reason tobacco companies spent billions on advertising in auto racing...billions of third world serfs yearning to smoke Marlboros...
Until little Putin assumes room temp, at the very least.
More virtue signaling. I won’t drink Coke because they supported bLM. It is also easy for me to not drink Coke because I rarely have a soft drink. In fact, I just made a big pitcher of sweet tea. That will hold me for a week along with water, coffee and bourbon.
No credit cards, Coke, or McD’s.
Have Pizza Hut and KFC pulled out?
Ooooh... nowbis a hood time to move to Russia and start a coal company
