The remarks by Indra Nooyi, an India-born woman who also serves as PepsiCo's chief financial officer, came during a speech Sunday to graduates at Columbia Business School. Nooyi then went on to say the five major continents in the world can each be represented by a finger on the hand. She said Africa was the pinkie; She said our thumb is Asia; Europe was compared to the index finger; South America, including Latin America, was likened to the ring finger; She said her analogy "leaves the long, middle finger for North America, and in particular, the United States.

"However, if used inappropriately – just like the U.S. itself, the middle finger can convey a negative message and get us in trouble,"
Unfortunately, I think this is how the rest of the world looks at the U.S. right now. Not as part of the hand – giving strength and purpose to the rest of the fingers – but instead, scratching our nose and sending a far different signal.”
Well I do like giving the rest of the world the bird now and then.
So do I. And, after all, it's not like they don't deserve it.
I like to think of it as the only finger standing tall while all the rest "knuckle" under.
Why if I drank Pepsi, I would quit right now! Gonna be hard to give up my runs for the border at Taco Bell! Maybe I will just stick with giving up Pepsi. That will be real easy!
Is Coca-Cola less evil?
I find that quote very telling.
You should find Dr. Pepper at Taco Bell. Good company even though the parent company is a British one(not that there is anything wrong with that, just stating that they are not American owned anymore).
"it's not like they don't deserve it."
I find, that most times, they do deserve it royally. Sometimes I'm inclined to give one to the horse they rode in on as well.
You are correct! I will stick with RC Cola!
Not only should we flip the bird at the snivelling rat ingrates of the world, we should moon them too!!!!! Then send the bombers!!!!

I guess that just helped me make the decision as to what soft drink I prefer.
It' The Real Thing.
Coca-Cola.
Pepsi, kiss my ass.
The longer I live the more I become an isolationist. The world can just rot around us. I raise my middle finger in a salute.

In case you had'nt noticed, we Americans are the rejects of the rest of the world. None of us put up with the cr*p going on where we came from. We disrespected local aristocracy which kept our families run into the ground by virtue of birth, we rejected money and banking systems controlled by an absolutely corrupt monarch, told the king's court to stuff it when they came to ransack our fields and our daughters and wives...of course the rest of the world either resents us or hates us at some level..we hold out a higher standard. They always have, always will.
