Alabama grocery store refuses to sell Pepsi products with NFL logo
Fox News ^ | October 13 2018 | Kathleen Joyce

Pepsi's slogan may have once been "The Choice of a New Generation," but one grocery store owner has chosen to no longer sell its products because they feature the NFL logo.

A Facebook post from S&Z Grocery in Athens, Alabama, stated the store would not sell the products until the logo is removed.

“This may cause me to lose some business, but here goes. S&Z supermarket currently will not be selling 20 ounce Pepsi or Diet Pepsi. These two items are currently produced with the NFL logo on them. I refuse to sell the product until the logo is removed. I will not bow down in order to make a dollar as long as the athletes are allowed to bow down and disrespect the flag and country I love,” the Facebook post stated.

I worked for PepsiCo for 30 years. The PC crap that the upper echelon of management peddles has ruined a once great company. At least the Hitlery shill CEO, Indra Nori, resigned a few months ago.

The guy is pushing support for our Flag, National Anthem, and country, so why would you dismiss this report so cheerfully?

Pepsi doesn’t want to admit what Obama is.

AFAIK, Pepsi is still using the Obama logo. Another bizarre chapter in the Obamanation that caused destruction.

I’m not dismissing anything. I stated that what a local Private Business chooses to sell or not sell is not National News.

Good for him. I applaud his understanding of what real Freedom is all about. He puts his money where hos mouth is.

Things like this used to be a Human Interest Story in the Local Rag. Nowadays everything becomes National Politics.

I guess I miss the good old days when EVERYTHING wasn’t Political. I’m beginning to wonder if maybe those good old days never really existed.

I haven’t seen RC Cola around here for decades.

An Old Girlfriend got me drinking it forty years ago. I’ll have to find some and see if it still tastes the same as I remember.

I think what DoughtyOne was trying to say is that it *shouldnt* be national news when a store owner decides to not sell a particular product; the fact that it is makes me wish MANY more would follow suit.

RC Cola is definitely good stuff. I mostly see it in 2-liter form at the local grocery stores. I don’t buy 2-liters as much since I can accidentally let them go flat.

But not always! (don’t tell Bloomberg!!)

Funny how the Nutcase Liberals get away with doing and saying anything while the Patriotic Normals are treated like an aberration.

Those Two Liters don’t work unless you drink it in one sitting while watching a MLB Playoff Game or a Trump Rally.

(both of which I’m doing today) Dodgers Losing and Trump Winning.

No fizzy, no drinky.

I think it’s gone now, but that is what I liked.

I liked Vernor’s Ginger ale too. best mixer ever.

Can’t find a damn Chocolate malt anymore...

If I keep it in the refrigerator I can sometimes get 2 days. Or maybe 36 hours. But that’s about the max.

I do have a few 2 liters but I’m usually buying what’s on sale.

Yes, one sitting is definitely the best way to go.

Never was a Pepsi guy, but I have a 1940s Pepsi bottle cap that I found along with several Sir Walter Raleigh Tobacco tins high atop the catwalks of AF plant #19.

Cork lined cap, opened with a church key, Pepsi logo colors were yellow and red..

I’m sitting here looking at my Hamilton Beach Malt Machine.

My Dad bought it from a guy he worked for as a Kid back in the 30’s. He was a Soda Jerk at a Malt Shop. It’s Seafoam Green #25 Model with the Original Metal Cup. Made in Wisconsin back in the late 20’s. Still works like a charm.

I might just make myself a Chocolate Shake today. Don’t have any Malt in the Cupboard.

put dry ice in it and recap it.

That is how we used to make soda.

Beware the Kablamm!
