Let me start off by saying I don't want this to become a political discussion. I'm just curious what everyone thinks about this. I think it will be beneficial to consumers to get rid of some of these harmful ingredients that we don't use in the rest of the world. My main focus is how will this change the way we operate. I know my plant isn't set up for the bulk storage needed for cane sugar. We just had the restructure and plant closure. Can pepsi afford to raise prices even more to pay for more quality and expensive componets?
If not glass, then at least aluminum bottles like beer companies have
The water that has Fluoride in it thats also supposedly bad?
Well you claim not a small price increase - I say the rest of the world already uses the ingredient, and don't pay significantly more for the product. So, why would we suddenly see a massive increase in price? Sure, there would be initial costs associated with conversion of facilities to handle sugar - but that's essentially a one-time cost that would be spread over the lifetime of the equipment, not recouped in the first week by raising prices 3x
I don't see how that's true, when essentially everywhere else in the world does, and has, used sugar instead of HFCS - and a coke in Germany or Japan isn't significantly more expensive than one in the US. The only reason we use HFCS at all is it was cheaper & pushed by the government to bolster the corn markets. We grow waaaay more corn than can be justified by actual need, because it's one of the few things that'll grow well in a lot of our land. The choice is & was -find a way to use it or bankrupt a bunch of farmers-.
Pepsi already did this, en masse, for years with Pepsi & MTN Dew Throwback. So, clearly, the infrastructure exists.

And with the Chevron decision, there is no power to even do this
