Has it been a year? Seems like just last May. I guess it was, since I remember Pepsico inviting Rummy to
a NASCAR race as part of the damage control.

Of course, I just finished my caffeine free Diet Coke.

One would have thought that comments like Ms. Nooyi's would have permanently damages his rise thru the ranks of Pepsi.

Apparently not.

From the two letters I got from Pepsi (one a reply and the second a reply to my rebuttal), I got the feeling they didn't give a F**K what anyone thought of Ms Nooyi's comments - but appeared to be concerned only so it wouldn't hurt sales.
