What is your opinion of PepsiCo?
I would be worried about some action coming from the government here for the health of the people. The drinks are pretty sweetened and not that extremely unhealthy.
I don't care that much about Pepsi, but $KO is a great stock as it keeps my portfolio pretty stable.
Great company for me better than $KO stock. I don't have their stock in my portfolio, but if there was a bigger drop I might think about buying.

$PEP is definitely more interesting to me now than $KO, but I probably won't be buying shares of either company.
Another cool move. So I'm Team Pepsi and I find it more interesting and better than $KO. I had bought the stock but sold it.
