Pepsi has been commie lovin' for a long time. See the deal they cut with the USSR back in the 80's.
Yum! was created on October 7, 1997, as Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. an independent company, as a result of a spin-off from PepsiCo, which owned and franchised the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands worldwide. Because of the company’s previous relationship with Pepsi, Yum! Brands has a lifetime contract with PepsiCo, with notable exceptions being with Dr Pepper Snapple Group for A&W Restaurants to be the exclusive restaurant provider of A&W Root Beer as well as franchisees such as HMSHost and college-operated locations that have separate contracts with Coca-Cola that override PepsiCo’s lifetime contract with Yum! Brands.
I didn’t realize Pepsi owns Fritos too. I love Fritos. Thanks for telling me, I guess.
ok thanks. avoid those places anyway. the food sucks. LOL
Can't argue with that (though I have occasionally enjoyed some KFC). The price is what keeps me away - it's so much cheaper to cook my own and it's better-tasting.
Thanks for the additional information. Sounds like they YUM! brands have a perpetual beverage contract with Pepsi. I guess that if you crave KFC, just get water with your meal or carry out and supply your own drink.
I checked the Coca-Cola web site. No mention of Obama.
The only problem are the 2 long o’s in Coca-Cola (3 in Coca Cola Zero). There’s no escape.
Dude, that cpusa post just made chills go down my spine. And not in a tingly Chris Matthews sort of way, either.
