Boycotting Pepsico products will accomplish nothing. E-mailing some flunky will get you nowhere.

Writing a letter and telling the Pepsico CEO why you are refusing to buy Pepsico products might accomplish something.

That letter makes it sound as if Pepsi is up Kanye West's ass and vice versa.  What a bleeding heart response.

I emailed the Pepsi Board of Directors and stated that my family will not purchase nor consume their products as long as Mr. West is a paid spokesman. This is what I got in return. Typical avoid the issue commentary.

GEORGE BUSH DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE

A Message from Consumer Relations 010603079A

Dear Norman,


Thank you for your email regarding Kanye West and his remarks during a
recent televised benefit concert in New York.

The catastrophic events surrounding our country’s worst natural
disaster
in living memory have imposed a severe strain not only on those
directly
involved, but also those watching from afar. It’s not surprising that
emotions have run high in the immediate days following.

Many questions have arisen in the days since Hurricane Katrina struck
the
Gulf Coast.  President Bush has said himself that the nation’s response
has been “unacceptable” and that we need to find out what went right
and
what went wrong.

This has become a challenging and frustrating time for everyone, and
during the benefit, Mr. West made an emotional, impulsive statement.  
Now
he’s focusing his energy on helping the affected citizens recover and
rebuild after this national disaster.  Among other things, he plans to
visit the area to personally assist the people who have been affected
by
Katrina.

At Pepsi, we’re doing what we can, too.  We are dedicated to working
directly with relief organizations and government agencies to provide
monetary assistance and food and beverage donations to people in need.

We fully appreciate your feelings in this matter and the sincerity with
which they have been expressed.  The destruction wrought by Hurricane
Katrina and its aftermath will be subjected to serious debate for some
time to come and, in time, will be assessed with less passion and more
reflection.

In the meantime, the victims of this tragedy have to receive support
and
care. That will require an extraordinary national commitment and we
will
need to continue to do whatever we can to help.

Again, we thank you for taking the time to express your opinion and
wish
that you will continue to do so.

With best regards,

Suzanne Gooley
Consumer Relations Representative

Doesn't surprise me about the response I work for Frito Lay and if you are anything but a white person you have it made.  Pepsico/Frito Lay are all about diversity for minorites and gays. But hey ya'll boycott them, little good it will do you since the land mantee's that keep us in business outnumber you anyway.

Pepsi tastes like shit, and is the favorite cola of New England...Go figure.



Hmm.. is New York state New England or Mid-Atlantic....?



Somehow I find it VERY hard to believe that Pepsi is the favored cola of New England.
You can't find it ANYWHERE up here in restaurants.  Most restaurants serve Coke.

I thought Pepsi was more a midwest/western kind of thang.

Other then a fast food type joint I've never seen Pepsi being served in a restaurant. Pepsi is nasty but I  don't drink coke or any other sugar water anymore.

Pepsi rivalry with Coca-Cola

Coke still outsells Pepsi in almost all areas of the world. Saudi Arabia and the Canadian provinces of Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec are some of the few exceptions. Pepsi had long been the drink of Francophones and it continues to hold its dominance by relying on local Québécois celebrities (especially Claude Meunier, of La Petite Vie fame) to sell its product. "Pepsi" eventually became an offensive nickname for Francophones viewed as a lower class by Anglophones in the middle of the 20th century. The term is now used as a historical reference to French-English linguistic animosity (Dufing the partitionist debate surrounding the 1995 referendum, a pundit wrote "And a wall will be erected along St-Laurent street [the traditional divide between French and English in Montréal] because some people were throwing Coke bottle one way and Pepsi bottles the other way"). Other regions where Pepsi outsells Coke are in central Appalachia, the state of North Dakota, the predominantly Mormon region in and around the state of Utah, and the city of Buffalo (by a 2-1 margin), all in the United States. More importantly, Pepsi outsells its rival in grocery and convenience stores in the U.S. (regarded as an indicator of consumer preference), with Coca-Cola's dominance in exclusive restaurant, movie theater, amusement park, college, and stadium deals giving Coke the overall sales advantage. In the U.S., Pepsi's total market share was about 31.7 percent in 2004, while Coke's was about 43.1 percent.

isn't pepsi owned and operated by some super liberal woman who hates men and repub's?

I don;t care.  What Kanye West said was as significant as a pimple on a dead birds ass.  

I'm not changing what I buy because of that.

Good luck to your endeavor though, hopefully if you are successful, the price of pepsi will come down a little.
