Been drinking Pepsi my whole life and have always debated that it's better than Coke. However, this past year there has been a defect in their cans and I have dozens of improperly sealed, deflated, leaking cans in my refrigerator. I started hanging on to them after about a dozen that I just threw away and wrote off as a loss. But I kept getting 1 or 2 in each 12 pack that I bought, so I started keeping them with the intent of getting replacements. So I called Pepsi and they made me send pictures. I took closeups of where they are leaking and showed how they are unopened and caved in in some cases. And you can see the hardened syrup leading from around the top rim. I sent pictures of well over a dozen cans. The woman in the phone was not very nice at all but she told me she would send me coupons. I received 2 coupons in the mail that got me 2 twelve packs that ended up costing $2 per 12 pack. So for starters, that didn't replace the nearly 3 dozen that were defective, but I also had to spend a bunch of time on this to boot. So I emailed her back stating that I felt this wasn't acceptable and I would like replacements, not discounts but she never responded. I used to drink on average 4 or 5 Pepsis a day. It's my morning coffee, my lunch drink, my dinner drink, a couple in between, and with a cigarette before bed. And Pepsi doesn't give 2 turds that I spend about $150 per month on Pepsi for 30 years. I'm not important to them and they don't care. I'm Generation Next but they don't have a kind word or fair response after only 1 complaint in 40 years of consuming their product and singing their praise. So now I'm officially a Coke drinker and will never buy Pepsi again. Not a single acknowledgement about their defective canning issue, no compensation for the defective products I received, and they simply ignore you. I'm not taking anymore chances at a vending machine or with 12 packs or cases when I can't see what's inside. And I know for a fact that some of you have had this happen. I just drank such an unhealthy amount of Pepsi, that it started...
Read moreThe garden's ambiance and sculptures create a fantastic view when driving into PepsiCo. The patio landscape is relaxing and rejuvenating. Yesterday and today, I visited PepsiCo as part of their supplier diversity program, which was terrific. The event was creative, organized, and full of vibrant colors in its PowerPoint presentation, showcasing PepsiCo's unique touch.
Even before becoming a partner, PepsiCo was one of my favorite drinks, particularly cherry Pepsi. We were greeted with that Pepsi smile and given insights on collaborating with them effectively.
The event featured jokes, food, and a great atmosphere, with plenty of opportunities to connect with other minor and major suppliers. It was a fantastic collaboration of companies.
This was the second year of their investment into the Supplier Diversity Summit, but Alden Oils first time attending. PepsiCo has committed to investing in those who invest in them. Our communities has significant buying power, and we purchase brands we trust, love, and that TASTE the best (most important 😉). PepsiCo recognizes this and ensures that their efforts also support their diverse customer base.
They are dedicated to representing supplier diversity through their partnerships. By having a diverse staff and partners PepsiCo shows that the best way to succeed is by reflecting their consumers, demonstrating appreciation for their customers' purchases, and showing their commitment to...
Read moreDiet Pepsi Zero Sugar (rebranded from Pepsi Max) - not as good since January 2023.
Won't be buying it again.
The only thing you made that was better than Diet Coke silver.
It had 69mg of caffeine in the 16.9oz bottle, it tasted great and had a good fizz that lasted all the way through to the end.
This one, 16 MG less, you removed the gensing I hear, and it literally: fizziles out before you can finish the bottle or a can, if in fact it has any fizz to begin with when opened.
I the middle ages your "chemist's" wouldn't have to worry about finding a new job, because, you know... 😉
And for $10 for a 12 pack you are probably pricing yourself into bankruptcy. Check the economy. The politicians have been pushing us down the recession/depression hill for 4 years, hardly anyone gets raises, and all the stores keep jacking the prices.
I got a well on the property, I don't HAVE to buy anything in a...
