    How is it that almost every brand except Doritos is the shit brand that I never buy because there’s always something better? Is tge company’s philosophy to make everything too sweet or something?

    Legit did not realize that cap’t crunch, and starbucks are pepsi owned.

    I still have a conspiracy theory that pepsi also owns 100% of small business resteraunts. You ever try ordering coke in a resteraunt??? “Is pepsi ok?”

    Everytime.

      Not the stores, but the bottled and canned stuff that you can buy in the grocery stores

        Ooooooooh. So they don’t own starbucks. They just have a distribution agreement in place.

        Theoretically starbucks COULD do that themselves, but it would cost a lot of upfront investment which may not end up being profitable. So they just say to pepsi “here’s the formula, you bottle and ship it, and we’ll pay you a fee”.

      In Germany Pepsi doesn’t exist outside of grocery stores lol. Only small local brands can compete with Coka Cola in the restaurant game ironically
