The remarks by Indra Nooyi, an India-born woman who also serves as PepsiCo's chief financial officer, came during a speech Sunday to graduates at Columbia Business School. Nooyi then went on to say the five major continents in the world can each be represented by a finger on the hand. She said Africa was the pinkie; She said our thumb is Asia; Europe was compared to the index finger; South America, including Latin America, was likened to the ring finger; She said her analogy "leaves the long, middle finger for North America, and in particular, the United States.

Well, that ends my support of PepsiCo...
"And your employees that might lose their jobs if consumers switch to products made companies not run by
an anti-American."
I hope FOX News picks up on this woman's speech and runs with it for days.
...It's alright!"

Well said, have a great weekend.
I am so disgusted at these American haters taking their pot shots at us. Whether in newpapers, magazines, television or the scum of Hollywood trying to promote their latest movie, it's non stop. FIrst of all, not many people will even hear of this story since the msm won't report it and if they do it will be her lame apology hinting she was forced to do so.
She should thank God America has given her this opportunity to head such a successful company versus herding goats in her own country.
I don't drink soda but I'm emailing my disgust to Pepsi anyway.
Dear pyx,
Please send your missive to PepsiCo's Board of Directors.
They need to see this kind of "regular" American's reaction to the person who is now the face of their company...
I loved it!
It wasn't funny, spoken or written. You would think that you wouldn't have to tell that to a senior executive of a major corporation. What chafes is that Pepsi and Ms. Nooyi try to tell us that we misunderstood her-- we don't misunderstand her. The problem is, we understand all too well.
We are at war right now and it rankles to have Newsweek and Pepsi executives working for the other side.
Tell me America ain't a great country!
Mmmmm A RC and a Moon Pie! Man I am glad I am back in New Orleans! Hubig's Pies ... Abita beer... Mmmmm
(Thread derailing in progress)
thank goodness, so Taco Bell is ok, how about Pizza Hut?
Haha No, no, I am retired now, brain cells are dying as we speak. Mmmm Antifreeze...
I agree with you, she was making an analogy that probably sounded better on paper, then when spoken.
never thought I'd see the runs and Taco Bell in the same sentence
Double Entendre alert!
How about a nice glass of ice water and lemon? Can't beat how it quenches thirst and tastes so refreshing.
