Boycott this far 'woke' company

 

THE BAD:

Left-wing CEO, Indra Nooyi said that people were in mourning after the 2016 election.

 

Pepsi began severing ties with the Washington Redskins and even asked others to sever ties because the sports team would not change their name.

 

Pepsi promoted a hate video of Tucker Carlson mispronouncing Kamala Harris' name, but felt no need to address Joe Biden's mispronunciation of her name.

 

Pepsi gave rabid Trump-hater, Snoop Dog a starring role in their Soda Stream commercial.

 

Pepsi employees and PAC's donated 42% more to Democrats than Republicans in 2020.

 

Voiced opposition to Trump's immigration policies.

 

Gatorade donated $500,000 to various groups including the ACLU and the violent Marxist group Black Lives Matter.

 

Pepsi opposes North Carolina's common sense bathroom bill, whereby all public bathrooms and locker rooms are single-sex facilities. Men use the men’s room and women use the women’s room. Sexual identity is based on biology, as stated on one’s birth certificate.

 

Committed to OneTen, AKA hire based on race over merit.

 

Racial Discrimination: PepsiCo offered $20,000 in grants and six months of mentorship to ten “high-potential emerging Hispanic-owned food and beverage small businesses,” while offering some with an additional $100,000 in grants. In response to blowback over Pepsi's racism, Pepsi simply modified their language. Instead of requiring that businesses be Hispanic-owned, they look for product that is “is inspired by Hispanic flavors and cultures.” Essentially, a sneaky way to continue discriminating by race.

 

Pepsi released a "Cracker Jill" version of "Cracker Jack", evidently in order to amplify gender tribalism. The move was "fueled by powerful female and non-binary voices".

 

THE GOOD:

Pepsi has no redeeming qualities.

 

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Avoid buying any Pepsi and Coca Cola owned products that you can. Unfortunately, Pepsi and Coke have a virtual monopoly on drinks and junk food. But, one Pepsi product that Pepsi and Coke don't have a virtual monopoly on, is sparkling water makers.

 

 

ALTERNATIVES:

 

1. Discover a new cola. If you're a Pepsi addict, then challenge yourself to stop drinking Pepsi for 2 to 4 weeks!

 

2. Stop drinking or scale back sugary soda. Wean yourself off, by drinking 0 calorie carbonated soda such as Waterloo or LaCroix -- but not Bubly, which is owned by Pepsi, or AHA, which is owned by Coke. In short, sugar gets stored as fat! You gain weight when you take in more calories than your body needs, and sugary drinks contain a lot of calories. You are more likely to become diabetic if you are overweight.

 

3. Boycotting Soda Stream is easy. While Phillips is not a perfect company, you might consider buying Phillips Go Zero from Ace Hardware. Or buy AARKE's high-end carbinator. Better yet, don't buy any carbinator. This is a gadget that you will put away in storage in short order, so don't even bother buying a carbonator. Also, the canisters are expensive and an ongoing expense!
