Never boycott the brand. Always boycott the company. The company is Pepsi via Frito-Lay.

So that's: Pepsi
Mountain Dew
Lay's potato chips
Gatorade
Tropicana
Doritos
Lipton
Quaker
Cheetos
Ruffles
Aquifina
Tostitos
Sierra Mist
Fritos
Bubly

First I boycotted Coke and now I gotta boycott Pepsi? Come on man don't make me drink RC Cola.

Actually if you were boycotting Coke (I still do) you should have been already boycotting Pepsi before then. Pepsi has actually always been the more woke of the two.

The company Dr. Pepper Kureg Snapple is far more based. There isn't even a diversity and inclusion notice in their website's footer last I checked. Do you know how rare that is? It's practically mandatory.

I did a huge deep dive on it. I almost want to support them, but then I realized there is nothing based about supporting caffeinated syrup in general.

Btw RC is Dr. Pepper Kureg. So RC checks out. The problem is finding it.

Interesting I always assumed Dr. Pepper was made by one of the big two. I do loves me some Dr. Pepper.

Nope. In fact Dr. Pepper now owns an absurd number of obscure brands. Basically it’s a holding company propping up all soda that isn’t coke or Pepsi. It’s weird but pretty much all soda companies started in the same decade in the 1800s.

RC is better than both anyway.

RC Cola is the storebrand of namebrand drinks, lol.

Sort of. Attacking a brand teaches the company not to do that kind of promo - hopefully for all their brands. Even if they can shuffle brands around and eventually recoup losses, they're still losing money and would prefer not to. Building a brand is hard.

Boycotts are rarely effective.

Thanks, I will!

Quaker

Noooooooo....

I did want to comment on the irony of that one.

[–]jet199 5 insightful - 7 fun5 insightful - 6 fun6 insightful - 7 fun -  (1 child)

The trouble is the main buyers of Doritos and Mountain Dew have all trooned out

[–]chadwickofwv 1 insightful - 3 fun1 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

You've obviously never been to West Virginia.

[–]xoenix[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

They avoid mentioning any of this however.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

All nonce, all the time.

[–]topiary2 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They will tell you that everyone is boycotting Doritos... but they will never tell you why...

[–]Questionable 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

They fired him almost immediately. So, I think this one is over.

[–]xoenix[S] 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

More like, can Rolling Stone turn this boycott into a pro-trans talking point?

[–]topiary2 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Only because they got caught. The lesson they are learning is to be more discrete with hiring kid fuckers

[–]Jiminy 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Only cuz he's a pedo not cuz he's trans

[–]Oyveygoyim 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

No difference

She has been highly critical of the right wing in Spain, and, as a number of far-right influencers have pointed out, Hudson once gave an interview on Spanish TV in which she appeared to advocate for “the abolition of the traditional monogamous nuclear family.” And while that stance is extremely badass, it’s probably not something notoriously controversy-shy corporate brands would necessarily want to be seen endorsing.

So Rolling Stone are kike sluts? Wtf?

They were started by Jewish Jan wenner but even he got fired for saying non woke things like black musicians being low iq and boring to talk to.

Wow, Rolling Stone is utter trash. Anyhow the boycott threat worked. They fired that pervert.

I hate Doritos anyway so no big whoop.

[–]Jiminy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes and it's much needed
