Well, she can shut down her d@mn Pepsi plants here and stop selling the stuff.

Then she can pack her butt back to India and get out of my country.

Scumbag.

My father, 80 years old and counting, still grabs a Moon Pie and an RC when we stop at Frizby's (our local 7/11). He contends that it is the only food suitable for a working man's lunch.

Exactly. She revealed her true feelings about America. She is now worried about losing her "cushy" job. She probably hates the people that are offended. Too bad. She gave the finger to America and all it stands for. I will give the finger to all Pepsi products.

Lets avoid all of Pepsico's products. Does anyone have a list of products and companies owned by Pepsico?

Good for him! I wish you could still get RC in the glass bottles. I occasionally find Coke in a bottle at out of the way county stores. They also have the best Moon Pies.

Sodas these days just don't have the flavor like back when. Pepsi is for.... Well I better now say it.. LOL

Was she trying to be funny?

Doesn't she remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks?

Avoid Pepsi products and you'll probably lose 20 pounds by Christmastime!

What she said came from the heart! Her apology came from the PR dept.

Another phone #:

1-800-433-2652

This is their (PepsiCo) Public Relations number.
I spoke with Sharon.
Nice lady but she tried to tell me that if I had not seen the full remarks of Ms. Nooyi then I was taking things out of context. That no offense was meant by Ms. Nooyi.
I responded that her imagery of the U.S. as the "middle finger" of the world and her suggestion that that middle finger is being rubbed up and down the side of a nose would be impossible to misconstrue. The meaning is loud and clear.

She said they are taking comments and zip codes to pass along to the executives, etc.

It seems they are hearing from quite a few people. I hope they will hear for many more...

"We disrespected local aristocracy which kept our families run into the ground by virtue of birth"

By "aristocracy", I presume you mean the modern aristocracy of Hollywood, The Media, and "The Educators".

I believe religion played a far greater role in shaping America than your anti-monarchy spew.

I believe you've watched too much "The Patriot" and not enough 911.
