A week after Donald Trumps election, the comments by Pepsis CEO have been tough for a lot of voters to swallow. Like Grubhub founder Matt Maloney, whos on the hot seat after an employee email showing Trump supporters the door, Indri Noovi must not have been thinking about her bottom line when the soft drink mogul bashed the new president-elect. Well, shes certainly thinking about it now that #BoycottPepsi is picking up steam.
At a New York Times event last Tuesday, Noovis emotions were obviously raw from the defeat of Pepsis choice for the next generation: Hillary Clinton. In a sit-down with the papers Andrew Ross Sorkin, she was asked how she was feeling about the results.
Is there a box of tissues here? she said. To anyone who thinks like Trump, she insisted, Forget about the Pepsi brand. How dare you talk about women that way? she fumed. If we dont nip this in the bud it is going to be a lethal force in society.
Sorkin, who was sympathetic to Noovis frustration, went on to ask how others were coping.
I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning. In what was no doubt an exaggeration, she claimed Our employees were all crying.
While the executive staff may have been distraught, I find it hard to believe that there wasnt a single Trump supporter in a company of 263,000.
Nevertheless, she went on, And the question that theyre asking, especially those who are not white, Are we safe? Women are asking, Are we safe? LGBT people are asking, Are we safe? I never thought I would have to answer those questions. Noovis message to the country was simple: We should mourn. Next, she insisted, We have to assure everyone living in the United States that they are safe.
Well, one thing that may not be safe is Pepsis stock.
If Grubhubs experience is any indication, Pepsi is in for a bumpy ride with Wall Street. Maloneys stock dropped four points overnight after his epic these views have no place at Grubhub missive. As of yesterday his shares were in a freefall nine percent down and counting. What part of partisan political backlash dont these businesses understand? Have they learned nothing from Target, Lands End, J.C. Penney, and Angies List? This kind of liberal elitism may fly in the board rooms of America, but not in its family rooms.
And as last weeks election should have demonstrated, theres a strong and powerful movement in this nation who are tired of being harassed, marginalized, and threatened for what are clearly mainstream values. (Natural marriage, after all, still has the majoritys support in this country!) After Trumps election, this is an emboldened group of deplorables, and companies who are trading in intolerance do so at their peril.
Steve Tobak, one of the many who could only shake his head at Maloneys prejudice, thinks corporate America is at a crossroads for liberal activism. Its shockingly myopic, if not downright incompetent, for the CEO of a consumer-facing company to risk insulting half his stakeholders that way I think the board has some work to do. And given this overheated post-election climate, Ill reiterate something I say often, but apparently not often enough: If your business isnt politics, keep politics out of your business. Indri Noovi would be wise to listen.
Pepsi and its Tostitos, Lays, Doritos, Gatorade, and Lipton brands were already at odds with pro-lifers over its support of Planned Parenthood. Apart from the more than half-billion dollar haul from U.S. taxpayers, Cecile Richardss group is enjoying hefty financial backing from Pepsi (and these 37 other companies). When youre buying Pepsi, a portion of those dollars is already being wired to the bank account of the largest abortion provider in America. Now, we can add anti-American, anti-conservative rhetoric to the list. Unless Noovi and company see the light, maybe its time to take the real Pepsi challenge and start drinking something new.
“Why was the New Coke rejected by loyal Coke drinkers?”
Not enough carbonation and too sweet.
In other words, it tasted like Pepsi
creeps....
Pepsi and its Tostitos, Lays, Doritos, Gatorade, and Lipton brands
Don’t have any of these poison products in my house, but will be sure not to in the future.
Boycott Pepsi. I like that.
Along with all of Pepsi’s other brands I will make it a point to not purchase anything related to that company. Screw them.
Exactly.
Our employees were all crying.
All? Like a boss of mine used to say, ALL is a pretty big word.
Only the corporate types were crying. You think a warehouse manager in Tulsa was crying?

I will miss KFC, I am a fan of grease. I drink mainly coffee and tea, have never cared for Lipton tea. No real problem for me to withhold my money from Pepsi. Wonder if Hillary and her supporters can make the shortfall from those of us that say when asked what to drink and we say not Pepsi cause I don’t think that young. Wonder how many here remember the old Pepsi jingle?

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
Thank you so much for the visual!!!
I tend to stick to store brands for that very reason.””
Pretty sure that ‘store brands’ are made by the same companies-—just a different recipe.
Guess where THOSE come from!
Sorta like “Nothing is ever always or never.”
Crying? ON the job?
I would be downsizing my work force as fast as I could draw up the papers.
I lived thru the Carter years & we dealt with 20 ++ % PRIME interest rates. Wonder how this ‘CEO’ would have handled that?
I remember the Carter years. Footage of people standing in line to sell their family silverware. Glum, angry-looking folk.
I remember the Carter years too. If you found a job for five bucks an hour you damn well held on to it.
