I fully expect to be seeing Nobama's picture displayed proudly on the new line of "Wheaties, Breakfast of Champion" boxes.
Sickening...
I have one word for us, FReepers....BOYCOTT! BOYCOTT! BOYCOTT!
Its RC cola for me!
The Refreshing president, Barack Obama....America’s douche.
Pepsi is just like Obama though—full of sugar, but no nutritional value (although Obama might be full of something else.)
I’m all for letting them build up their hopes. They already far surpass anything a mere mortal could possibly do.
Reality is just around the corner.
> Pepsico is now in the business of politics, dontcha’ know! I think I’ll be drinking Coke exclusively from now on...until I learn of *their* “Nobama Campaign.”
Make mine a Fosters Lager, please. Or a cuppa tea if there’s work to be done.
Damn...does this mean I have to give up beer to start drinking Coke?
I don’t join boycotts but I do engage in NOT PATRONIZING anyone who I consider as having different values than I do. ie: THEY DON’T PUT AMERICA FIRST. This is one of those cases, IMHO. On the other hand, I’m a Coke kinda guy so they won’t be losing any business from me. They never had it.
I can’t stand Pepsi anyway...
As I said before, it is not a coincidence that Pepsi has redesign its logo to look like Obama’s logo. I hate Pepsi anyway. I’m a Coca Cola girl.

Indra Nooyi attends dinner with Obama
Washington (PTI): PepsiCo chief and Indian American, Indra Nooyi, attended dinner for a select group of foreign policy experts hosted by President-elect Barack Obama, media reports has said.
(snip)
While the Website did not reveal the name of Indra Nooyi as one of the participants, Politico confirmed on its website yesterday that Indian-born Pepsi CEO was a guest at this small dinner with Obama and a handful of foreign policy experts and top aides.
Notably, an Indian American group last week urged Obama to nominate Nooyi as his Secretary of Commerce, a Cabinet post which is still vacant.
Finally! We are boycotting something that I actually use. My family just bought its last Pepsi product.
Pepsi responds to my complaint about their new ad campaign:
“In marketing our products, we always aim to convey a message of youthful spirit and optimism. As you can imagine, we try to make full use of events and venues from which we can reach the largest number of potential consumers with our message. For instance, Pepsi was widely visible at the New Years Eve celebrations in New Yorks Times Square, and we currently are gearing up for our much-anticipated television advertising during the Super Bowl.
The inauguration of a president is another such event that engages a large number of people, both attending in Washington, D.C. as well as watching from living rooms around the world.
Our advertising initiatives coinciding with the inauguration reflect the hope shared by Americans of all political persuasions that our new president will succeed in meeting the serious challenges facing our country and our world. I can assure you that our marketing focus is set on reaching cons umers to highlight our portfolio of beverages and snacks, and not the agenda of any political party.
Thanks for allowing us to share this information with you.”
