#1 Ken, I don't care if she's smart, smart, smart.

Her attitude, both elitist and anti-American, caused me and mine to buy not another Pepsico product. Dumped my stock and I haven't bought any Pepsico products since that Commencement address.

#2 If she continues her little habit of making assumptions about her audience, the transition may go smoothly but the tenure... maybe not so good. I'm surprised by this promotion; PepsiCo is known in this part of the world as one of the places where Procter&Gamble graduates go to make money. And Proctoids as a group are pretty patriotic -- they know P&G is the best company to work for, and the US is the best country to live in (even those who leave the company, either sad because it just wasn't a good fit, or for more rapid opportunities available elsewhere). As a group they're awfully cute about it all. ;-)

#4 One more of the many reasons for me never to buy Pepsi.

#5 So glad I've never liked Pepsi. Always drank Coke and currently own Coca-Cola shares. Never will buy Pepsico and this really seals it.

#8 Here's the powerline blog link with some details. I'll venture if she's that smart, she won't make the same mistake twice. Boycotted Pepsi since I read this...

Oh, wait....

#11 I had to go back and look. May 2005. I haven't had a Pepsi in 15 months. Just tell Indra to consider it my middle finger...

#12 For a company that hails its roots from Fayetteville NC they have really gone to hell. Guess Pepsi and Fritos are now RC cola and Moon Pies instead!!!!

#13 Pepsi sponsors Jeff Gordon's 24 car - enough reason to dislike em. That said - I drink it

#14 Coke Zero.

And, for the ultimate in "More Americana Than Thou", remember that Disneyworld only serves Coke products.

#15 Perhaps she secretly craves that "Middle Finger". Wouldn't be the first time an accuser had a crush on the accused. Be it on or off, she can nonetheless get f&cked. Time to short Pepsico, they must not value their American consumer base too much.
