When did Pepsi stop bottling their own products? My husband drinks Mountain Dew like it's water. I opened a can yesterday and it was terrible (bought at Target in TN). The can says it's bottled by an independent bottling company (anonymous) under the authority of Pepsico. We were visiting North Carolina so I bought one out of a vending machine. This can listed the name of the bottling company (a NC company) as well as the "under the authority, blah, blah). It was crisp, citrus-y and good. Obviously, there's a wide variance between bottlers. This morning I looked at the bottles and cartons on the grocery shelf for the bottler information. Apparently, you have to purchase the item and contact www.pepsico.com for bottler information. When did this come about?? How do I know, prior to purchase, if its bottled in TN, NC, Canada, Mexico or China for heaven's sake?
In most areas, it’s been a long, long time. Pepsi products usually do come from a regional plant “under the authority of” Pepsico.
Just about all major soft drink brands, including Coke and Pepsi, are bottled by franchisees and have been for several decades.
LOL!!!
Most pop manufacturers don’t bottle their own products regionally.
Them damn yankees is everywhere .
Exactly...
Up here everyone from the lower 48 is a Yankee.
Was announced today that Arby’s is buying Wendy’s..
I’ve gotta tell the Southrons out there that Mexican Coca-Cola is superior to their Coca-Cola. That’s just the way it is.
More on topic: Hemorroid cream aint what she used to be.
Pretty much since they started, it’s been bottled locally by whoever has the contract.
Isn’t Pepsi owned by some wahabi radical group anyway? And gives money to liberal causes like mad?
Why support terrorism?
That’s OK, in Texas everyone from Alaska is a Canadian.
“I’ve gotta tell the Southrons out there that Mexican Coca-Cola is superior to their Coca-Cola. That’s just the way it is.”
That’s because it is made with actual sugar.
Certain “Kosher Coke” types are also sugar (or used to be).
You are so right . I buy it at the Korean dollar store . It is like getting a Coke from 1961 . Pay no attention to the 355 ml mark or you will be unceremoniously hurled back to your present time period .
I noticed that our current pepsi from cans seems a little flat...
