dauntingknight Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) We need to pray for Pepsi for right now they are giving money to gay people. So right now ban the following items and pray for Pepsi's conversion. 1. Pepsi soda such as mountain dew, Pepsi (didn't see that one coming), etc. 2. Lays potato chips is an item of Pepsi 3. Taco Bell is owned by Pepsi 4.Mug Root Beer, AMP energy drink, Aguafina, Sierra Mist, Tava and Tropicana. Before you purchase an item at the store please double check and make sure it is not a product of Pepsi. Here is the link for you to complain to Pepsi about supporting gay rights. [url="http://cr.pepsi.com/usen/pepsiusen.cfm?time=91713567"]http://cr.pepsi.com/usen/pepsiusen.cfm?time=91713567[/url] So please drink stuff like Coke Cole and If there is anything that I am missing please post on this thread. When you write your complaint please write something like what I wrote, Until you start becoming more neutral in the political field I will no longer buy or support any item that has to deal with Pepsi. Needs to get to the point and needs to be sort and simple. Never fear underdog is here (For that is a reason to fear) Edited February 27, 2009 by dauntingknight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcts Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 unfortunately, most companies give money to either planned parenthood or some other organization that involves unethical and immoral things. Were you aware that disney gives money to planned parenthood? We really are living in a culture of death and it is almost impossible to get away from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heart Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 but i think to address the problem to others and let the company know helps. at least you did something like this than just ignore what you know about it and let them be rich in supporting these unethical isues. anyway that is just my personal idea. make sense or no its up to you! i dont like pepsi anyway!!!! my country loves Coke!

Nihil Obstat Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I was relatively sure that Dr. Pepper is a Pepsi product. Anyway, on the fairly uncommon occasions that I drink pop, it's usually Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotusTuusMaria Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I am not against any person (no matter what they are struggling from) having equal rights. People struggling from SSA are made in the same likeness of God as we are and deserve as much respect as we expect. They also deserve the same human rights, as said by the Church. It is fine for them to have support groups and organizations which help them to deal with that they are going through. And those organizations deserve support. This is why I support COURAGE. However, Pepsi donated to PFLAG, which seeks to help the family stay united when a person struggling with homosexual tendencies reveals that they are. I am very much in support of this and any work they do to help bring down discrimination against people struggling from SSA. [b]I do not support the the PFLAG agenda (which although not the primary purpose of the organization is absolutely 'up there') though to legalize marriage between two people of SSA as marriage is a sacred bond between a man and woman (so says the Church)[/b] I am not boycotting Pepsi because "they give money to 'gay' people." I am boycotting them for supporting the agenda of redefining marriage and promoting homosexual relations which are sinful and should not be condoned. I have not been drinking Pepsi since I heard of this, but I didn't know these other things fell under Pepsi. Thanks for posting. And while a lot of the major corporations do support either Planned Parenthood or the above agenda and it is depressing there are still a great deal who do not. Yeah it takes time to figure out and it is a little rougher shopping... it is worth it to know that my money is not going to possibly killing a child, promoting contraception in schools and in "awareness" activities, or helping to promote concepts like homosexual civil unions in the public sphere. Boycotting works. Look at what happened with McDonalds. I won't be giving up. I can't avoid everything, but the corporations I can avoid (despite it causing perhaps a little discomfort) I am certainly going to. Pepsi is one of them.

VoTeckam Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Dr. Pepper is pepsi product and Taco bell is owned by Yum corp. which is afiliated with pepsi but is not the same company. If you are interested in boycitting yum brands you will need to avoid: Taco Bell KFC Pizza Hut Long John Silvers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoTeckam Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I was wrong. Dr. Pepper is it's own comapny (also makes Seven up). Pepsi only makes the packaging for Dr. pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbarus Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 If you're going to advocate a boycott of Pepsi products, at the VERY least you should get the products right. Taco Bell is NOT owned by Pepsi. It is part of Yum! Brands, a fast-food conglomerate that spun off from Pepsi more than 10 years ago. You should really check your facts.

They have a lifetime agreement with Pepsi to supply beverages to all their restaurants, with some exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
