0.6 percent interest is worth $600 million and influence? 0.6% sounds like peanuts. What is this guy an “activist” in?

“Indra Nooyi”

Is she the one who made the speech some years ago about America giving “the middle finger” to the rest of the world?

He’s an activist in getting failing CEOs fired. He’s a stalking horse for bigger shareholders who want Nooyi dumped and the company split in two.

You are completely right. This B’ has her face up Odumbo’s butt she personally oversaw the logo design to be as close to the Won’ she serves.

Yes, the same Indra Nooyi, the American hating socialist soon-to-be ex-CEO of PepsiCo.

Pepsi’s board has already met with this guy and have started auditions for Nooyi’s replacement as one of the outcomes.

Well, then, that’s one small step toward my being able to enjoy a Diet Dew again.

Now, about the logo and the embryonic stem cell testing . . .

Pepsi’s board?

IIRC, the chairman fully supported Nooyi after her [Columbia?] business school brouhaha, in fact promoting her to CEO after that incident.

Does that mean the chairman will be out as well?

Things have changed since the middle finger incident. Nooyi is toast because she got her a** kicked by Coca-Cola because of all of her bad decisions.

Nice, but their product is still garbage. Too sweet, no flavor, no carbonation. Just NASTY.

Yep, it's bad. Too sugary -- with battery acid for flavor.

Jack Daniels and Pepsi with a twist of lime is the most disgusting drink on the planet. Gotta be coke. It’s the real thing after all.

Pepsi Next is their new product with less sugar.

I heard Starbucks had been thinking about changing their distributor but kept with PepsiCo

They rolled out a new product in the energy market. PepsiCo in charge of distribution. Warehouses out across the country just as a big promotion was rolling out at Walgreens.

Idiots
