Not a picture, but a list

Back in my day, we took whatever pixels we were given and we were glad for them! And before your precious pixels, we were happy to get ASCII pictures!

Is there a non potato version of this where the brands are readable?

[-] blackbrook@mander.xyz 10 points 2 days ago

Of course it's not an "always has been" situation but a long long road of consolidation.

Legit did not realize that cap't crunch, and starbucks are pepsi owned.

I still have a conspiracy theory that pepsi also owns 100% of small business resteraunts. You ever try ordering coke in a resteraunt??? "Is pepsi ok?"

Everytime.

[-] cm0002@lemdro.id 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Not the stores, but the bottled and canned stuff that you can buy in the grocery stores

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Ooooooooh. So they don't own starbucks. They just have a distribution agreement in place.

Theoretically starbucks COULD do that themselves, but it would cost a lot of upfront investment which may not end up being profitable. So they just say to pepsi "here's the formula, you bottle and ship it, and we'll pay you a fee".

I actually have a starbucks branded coffee in the fridge lol. It says produced by Arla Foods. So not even globally

[-] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Starbucks isn't owned by Pepsi. The meme lacks veracity. How dare they!?!

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

In Germany Pepsi doesn't exist outside of grocery stores lol. Only small local brands can compete with Coka Cola in the restaurant game ironically

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

You've never ate at a Sub Way? They only have Pepsi Co products.

[-] albbi@piefed.ca 1 points 2 days ago

I ate there a lot more when they had Coke products now I don't really care for getting a drink there.

[-] albbi@piefed.ca 5 points 2 days ago

How is it that almost every brand except Doritos is the shit brand that I never buy because there's always something better? Is tge company's philosophy to make everything too sweet or something?

[-] lengau@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

You find Quaker oats too sweet?

[-] albbi@piefed.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Kinda. I mean raw ingredients you can't mess up. I'd still prefer other BRANDS. Quakers are weird.

These are too sweet.
