A local church switched from Pepsi products to Coca-Cola, but it's not because they don't like the taste of the product.

The Bell Shoals Baptist church in Brandon got rid of the products as part of the American Family Association's boycott.

Of course Pepsi promotes a gay lifestyle ... it sucks!

Pretty much any hip/trendy/popular company like Pepsi, various clothing lines, etc. all popularize the gay lifestyle. Certainly they popularize a liberal lifestyle. How many incredibly pathetic advertisements for various things have you had to sit through in a movie theater before a movie, where you look over at your wife/husband and simply shake your head at what you’re looking at?

Everyone knows Coke is the REAL thing!

"Kemple says Pepsi has made more than $3 million in contributions toward organizations that advocate homosexuality, like the Human Rights Campaign and the Parents and Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays."

Fair enough.

"The group also claims Pepsi's commercials support a gay lifestyle."

Uh, how's that again?

Oh well. This makes more sense than when half of FR was going to boycott because they were convinced the new Pepsi logo was based on Obama's campaign roundel.

I personally think obsessively researching the causes different companies support and altering one's consumer habits accordingly is a recipe for insanity.

What the heck are you even talking about? I mean...um, can you be more specific?

I am addicted to Pepsi.

Even though it’s logo now looks like some sort of Obama symbol.

Please help me!

Fresca is a Coca-Cola product. The Mexican version is made with sugar instead of artificial sweetener, and tastes great. The one I really miss is Canada Dry Wink.

Although Pepsi did set Michael Jackson’s hair on fire...

...so they have that going for them.

You'd be surprised how many good off-brand soda there are. The Wal-Mart stuff is the worst, but I recall Stop and Shop's private label as being pretty decent. If you haven't tried RC, you should (though I do think that Coke and Pepsi both taste better. Nothing goes with hot-sauce laden chicken like RC.) I wanted to like Jolt, I really did, but it just doesn't taste very good.

You can also try boutique or local brands. In New Haven, CT, for instance, Foxon Park is the soda of choice. Actually, if you want to cut down on funding the bad guys, buy local mom 'n pop stuff (except for that stuff made by blow hard bad guys of the "Annies" variety.)

Very specific: ben & jerry’s “hubby hubby”.
Very very specific regarding pepsi: http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-10966.html (article describing pepsi add where 2 men kiss).
Regarding liberal tendencies, I couldn’t describe the plethora in any way that would make them recognizable, though one in particular comes to mind. I saw an ad for ‘something’, I don’t remember what it was, but this guy and this girl met for the first time, burst into some family’s house and had sex.

Poopsie is also a big supporter of Obozo. See how they changed their logo. No Pepsi in my house.

[onedoug]

I ain’t givin’ up Canada Dry.

Well, Pepsi does support the homosexual agenda, so what’s the problem?

[SIDENET]

LOL!
