If Al Sharpton is against it, I know I’m probably for it.

You’ve got a lot to live, Pepsi’s got a lot to give.

The former President of Hampton University , William R. Harvey, owns a Pepsi Bottling Company franchise , the first black to do so. He purchased it in 1986.

Pepsi doesn’t need to worry.

They will cloak the inability to use food stamps as part of their boycott - they don’t spend their own money on soft drinks anyway.

Source: I see kids standing in line at Walmart with soft drinks, candy bars and chips in their hands and the parent uses a SNAP card to pay for it.

Agreed.

More of a Cheerwine and Dr. Pepper guy.

If you can look up The Norm Macdonald stand up routine where he talks about trying to order Coke when they only have Pepsi.

Al Sharpton has always been an evil man. He has done his share to screw this country up. Companies like Target and Pepsi need be more afraid of Everyday American than Al Sharpton.

Has Rev. Al paid his back taxes yet? If not, why isn’t he in prison?

Al Sharpton is no more a Reverend than I am. He has never had a church. He’s never had a congregation. He never went to divinity school. He was “ordained” by a DC preacher when he was 10 years old and has perpetuated the lie ever since. He’s always trying to get face time on TV, but he’s almost always on the wrong side of the argument (e.g., Tawana Brawley, the Duke Five) and no matter how his lies destroy innocent people, he’s nowhere to be found when an apology is due. He is a sham and a persistent liar and the only reason the MSM even listens to him is because is carries the Democrat water for the Leftist.

Just stick a nice fat check in Sharpton’s pocket and there won’t be any boycott.
