| #3 Another loyal Pepsi drinker gone Coke. Eventually this may add up to something between the eyes, one hopes. |

| #2 Actually, Pepsico's making something of a good faith effort to repair the damage. The idiot CFO who made these remarks has apologized (see the lead piece on Pepsi's website), and it seems genuine enough. But there's much more they can do. As Powerline's "Deacon" noted, when Pepsico runs afoul of Jesse Jackson, they usually pay tribute to one of Jesse's charities. So here's a suggestion: Pepsico should make a huge and very public contribution to a fund focused on rehabilitation of Iraqi and Afghan children maimed by the islamofascists there. Pepsico's CEO, Steve Reinemund, is an ex-marine. Write to him and suggest an appropriate charity that Pepsico chouls contribute to as a way of trying to repair its image: steven.reinemund@pepsico.com Please also cc the Board of directors: BoardofDirectors@Pepsi.com Pepsi's Head of PR told me today that she photocpied my emails and has given hard copies to Indra Nooyi and to other Pepsi directors, so there's some hope that you'll get through if you title your email SUGGESTION or PROPOSAL or somesuch. Good luck, t |
