Founded in 1960, PepsiCo.Inc has become one of the most successful and well run corporations worldwide. Forming partnerships with other big named businesses and making goods that cater to their admirers have helped made PepsiCo.Inc a global power, but would the admirers of Pepsi products continue to support them even after the effects of their products are revealed? Would their partners continue to associate with them when their supporters won’t? And, perhaps the most important question we must ask ourselves, with the push for healthy living in the U.S. by the media and the FDA, how much longer does PepsiCo.Inc have? Only time will tell, but when Diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes are at an all time high in America, it is not too farfetched to believe PepsiCo and other junk food corporations’ day will soon come, but the change must be made by the consumers. You must make the decision to stay away from the products of PepsiCo. If a change does not occur soon, childhood obesity and disease will sky rocket in future generations, all just because we turned a blind eye to healthy eating and continued to consume the poison that are PepsiCo products.

...icient blood sugar levels. Some reasons why this may occur is because your body has not made enough insulin or you have consumed more sugar than planned. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) an individual should only consume 40 grams of sugar per day (Mitro). Pepsi-cola contains 41 grams in one can! The really scary thing is people aren’t just drinking one can of Pepsi-cola. In fact, in one year on average, each American drinks 597 cans of soda containing 32 grams of sugar (Lesson 21.5: Science Connections) that’s 19104 total grams of sugar when according to the United States department of agriculture, the exceptional total grams of sugar allowed to be consumed in one year is 14600. That is quite the difference wouldn’t you agree? All of that sugar will definitely have negative effects. Things must change or we will pay the consequences.

    During the 1990s, PepsiCo launched new products and engineered a global re-branding campaign in an effort to grow sales volume; reinvigorate their stagnant brand; and to close the increasingly large sales and market share gap between itself and its primary competitor, Coca-Cola. In 1993, Pepsi jump-started its marketing efforts by adding two brands to its portfolio: Crystal Pepsi and Pepsi Max. Crystal Pepsi, which was initially offered in the United States, failed to earn the company more than 2 percent volume share. Pepsi Max, which was launched in the United Kingdom, proved more successful, but because one of its primary ingredients was an artificial sweetener not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration, it wasn't brought to market in the United States.
