Pepsi plays us for fools with a 9-11 can sold over sea`s (picture)

Sure, I can see how this scenario would play out at the last quarterly board of directors meeting for Pepsico:

(CEO): "John, how is that new global marketing campaign coming along?"

(John): "Very well sir, Our plan to dominate the middle eastern market is almost complete. The entire untapped demographic segment of Islamic-terrorists that love our new label is ours alone. Coca-Cola must be kicking themselves silly because they never dreamed of putting a image on their can's that vaguely resembles the 9/11 attacks on NYC. These people love that stuff!

(CEO): "Exxxxxxcellent, It's all falling in to place now. Our North American market will never suspect a thing,we don't have a thing to lose in that segment and this can not possibly fail!"

C'mon folks...use your head for somethin other than a hat rack...

So THIS is what the fuss is all about? :roll:

I've been seeing some chatter about Pepsi and Islam and not really understood what it all meant.

Weak sauce. Hat tip: UncleBuck

(That's how you do it when you 'borrow' someone's material. Not looking at anyone in particular.)

I worked for PEPSICO for a few years (Denver bottling group) and, tho the board is not as stupid as your scenario, it is not all that far off........ lol

As someone who worked for Pepsico, what was the policy on Coca Cola? Would you be summarily fired if they saw you drinking a coke product?

the reason I ask is because at Coke, if they see you in possession of a Pepsi product on their property (this includes in your car on their parking lot) you are fired, same goes for contractors coming onto their property, it is ridiculous, but i was wondering if Pepsi has similar policy.

Mountain Dew used to be my particular poison back in the day, hard to go to do work at Coke and remember the rules.

I thought it was a bit Ironic that they have a jetliner flying above it all, if only that was removed the symbolism would not be there.

Back when the Pepsi Coke challenge existed they were essentially the same thing, the only noticeable difference was carbonation levels. Now days, Coke has so much sugar (or fake sugar, whichever) you can literally feel your teeth rotting as you drink it. Disgusting.

but anyways back to the subject ;)

i can see some and by some i mean a very minuscule resemblance towards the skyline of some metropolitan city with two taller buildings than the rest of the skyline...

however that may be... it still is a rather bad comparison between NYC and whats on the can of pepsi...

no offense but the only thing happening is a misinterpretation because 1.) the can is written in arabic + 2.) city skyline = oh my... it must be sep 11... :roll:
