| Sorry For Pepsi |
| Pepsi have pulled out of South Africa twice, once in the dark days of Apartheid in a stand of solidarity against the government, they then returned when all was good and democratic in South Africa, but poor management apparently drove them away. Unfortunately for them, the real reason they will never succeed in S.A is that us darkies are brand loyal, my mother is one of those people who refer to any soda as Coke, just like all lip balm is lip ice and all vacuum cleaners are Hoovers, that's just the way it is. Coca-Cola stuck with us through the good and bad and David Beckham and a star studded marketing campaign is not going to get the main market to abandon the Coca-Cola Company. |
