Wikipedia (2015) gives a basic description of what PepsiCo, Inc. is all about: "an American multinational food and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York, United States, with interests in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of grain-based snack foods, beverages, and other products. PepsiCo was formed in 1965 with the merger of the Pepsi-Cola Company and Frito-Lay, Inc. PepsiCo has since expanded from its namesake product Pepsi to a broader range of food and beverage brands, the largest of which includes an acquisition of Tropicana in 1998 and a merger with Quaker Oats in 2001, which added the Gatorade brand to its portfolio."

It is a big baby! A giant! This multinational now covers the entire globe with its products including bottled water in far places such as India. It is a humongous economic octopus with many tentacles.

You, one way or another, may be part of this industry as consumer. 

After all, consuming consumers - those that consume what they should not be consuming because they could end up being consumed sooner than they want or expect to be consumed - is what this is all about.

Chances are that when you play coach potato at home, sitting down to watch TV accompanied by a big bag of potato chips and a carbonated drink after work, your purchase will go to enrich the folks in Purchase, New York (USA) and beyond.
