Not surprised that a company named after the god of war is an international war sponsor

Took me about 7 seconds of thinking before I realized you meant Mars. Couldn't remember a God named Pepsi for the life of me.

Pepsi is actually named after Pepe the frog.

Actually it's named after the Pepsicum plant, which gives Pepsi it's garbage taste.

Actually, Mars was named after its founder, Franklin Clarence Mars.
