Hey Bricktop...And I no longer have time for you, cock-a-doodle-dooooo!
That is what the "ignore" feature is for, friend. Now if I could only ignore that avatar..
Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.

I'm a Coke man, myself. I wouldn't walk across the street for a pepsi.

My Grandpa always use to say that if it ain't fit to drink straight up, it ain't fit to drink. He would have slapped me up the side of the head if he caught me stealing his 4 Roses whiskey and putting it in soda pop. So I don't drink Pepsi or Coke. Though I would much rather Pepsi not donate a dime to HSUS, I understand that all large corporations try to hedge their political bets by donating to all sides of the political issues. If they think they will get $250,000 worth of profit from the HSUS types, without losing the same from us, they will do it.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum. I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person. The campfire is the most outside exposure I get. No TV, no newspaper.

Except every time you make a post indicating you're "ignoring" me, you're not. It means I have your attention, you don't like it, but you can't do anything about it. I suppose in some oddball way it's good for your ego to state this publicly from time to time.

We owned a bar in Washington once and an otherwise resonable woman used to ask for Mac Nauton's finest with diet pepsi, I charged her double for ruining perfectly good whiskey & she gladly paid it, no sense to other people's taste, (her husband told me to charge her triple & leave out the Mac, seems he liked Mac & water & couldn't explain her either)

And the Pepsi brand alone includes Lipton...Seattle's Best Coffee.... Wrong. Lipton is owned by Unilever which is in partnership with -- not owned by -- Pepsico which is helping Unilever market their products in areas where Pepsico already has a strong presence; Seattle's Best is part of Starbucks, which as you apparently DON'T recall got in trouble with the anti-gunners for NOT prohibiting concealed weapons on their premises. Do your research next time. For a change. Perhaps their website is wrong: That must be it. You might let them know they got it wrong.

And the Pepsi brand alone includes Lipton, SoBe, Seattle's Best Coffee, Amp Energy, Aquafina water, etc. They market to lots of folks. They deserve to hear from all customers. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue about. Yes, blue cheese is moldy, but what's the point?

I could have sworn that the only thing you "brought up" was how right (and smart) you wanted everyone to know you were. And the Pepsi brand alone includes Lipton...Seattle's Best Coffee.... Wrong. Lipton is owned by Unilever which is in partnership with -- not owned by -- Pepsico which is helping Unilever market their products in areas where Pepsico already has a strong presence; Seattle's Best is part of Starbucks, which as you apparently DON'T recall got in trouble with the anti-gunners for NOT prohibiting concealed weapons on their premises. Do your research next time. For a change. The point that people have been trying to make, in spite of whatever you're trying to refute, is that Pepsi has its hands in a lot of things (and brands). And I'm sure that every drink or other item it lists as one of its brands makes the Pepsi company, however you wanted to describe it, money with every sale. Therefore not buying, if boycotting happens to be one's choice of a statement, means the company takes a small hit. Brand control is a form of ownership.

I could have sworn that the only thing you "brought up" was how right (and smart) you wanted everyone to know you were. No, I just wanted to show everyone how sweet I am. Almost as sweet as you. And the Pepsi brand alone includes Lipton...Seattle's Best Coffee.... Wrong. Lipton is owned by Unilever which is in partnership with -- not owned by -- Pepsico which is helping Unilever market their products in areas where Pepsico already has a strong presence; Seattle's Best is part of Starbucks, which as you apparently DON'T recall got in trouble with the anti-gunners for NOT prohibiting concealed weapons on their premises.

You do understand that, right?

We were given free CoKe products for our Tea Party and that is enough to secure my brand loyalty for life.

Used to be, whenever a Democrat was in the White House, all federal buildings changed to Coke. When a Republican was in, they switched to Pepsi.

I just entered a comment on their website, and they responded to me in a cordial manner. Just send them your thoughts.
