If you want a non US soda cola there are plenty of alternatives a bit everywhere...

There's even one created in 2023 to fund aid to Gaza... Articles from Al Jazeera and Jerusalem Post. They are based in London.

They doubled their prices overnight and killed their DEI programs to appease a fascist, can't imagine why people would stop buying Pepsi ๐Ÿคท

PepsiCoโ€™s net revenue fell 1.8% to $17.9 billion

I'm surprised they only sell so little, I mean comon! They ad sweetener to water, AND flavor, AND CO2, AND then they sell it in convenient bottles. How can anybody live without that!

Pepsi has actually been diversifying to sell more than sugar water because they know people are moving away from it.

Stop drinking that shit. If you must have a carbonated beverage, there are a handful of prebiotic soda lines these days that have minimal sugar in them.

How about lowering the sugar in that shit?

Way ahead of you. Who needs expensive sugar, when cheap (subsidized) high fructose corn syrup is right there?

LOL. Let's lower that too?
