Poppi is now owned by a mega corporation. The quality is probably going to go down. Time to ditch it.

I listen to a podcast called how I built this and basically this is every start ups plan. People set out to change an industry and always sell to the same conglomerates and ride off into the sunset rich as hell. It’s not very inspiring sometimes.

pepsico political donations. They donate to both parties. What is the end goal with that?

That no matter who is in power, they'll still benefit.

They’re just playing both sides, so they always come out on top!

Editing to say that I was just quoting a silly television show but thank you for the detailed response!

They're not playing any side. Their employees are allowed to donate to who ever they want.

> 'From Individuals' Column: Contributions from members, employees or owners of the organization, and those individuals’ immediate family members.

> NOTE: Organizations themselves cannot contribute to candidates and party committees. Figures on this page include contributions and spending by affiliates.

The column "Individuals" is individuals that work for the PepsiCo corporation. US Citizens are allowed to donate to who ever they want. I don't believe a company can ban that.

You can check it out on https://www.fec.gov/.

There you will find PRAVEN, EMILY. Who donated $300 to Harris Victory Fund as a Senior. Manager @ Pepsi. Not Pepsi itself.

All of Trump's funds came from INDIVIDUALS.

If you want to take it up with someone argue with David Desanti (Repair Technician), Daniel Sisk (Mobile Developer), Martin McBee (Manager), Randal Murray (Manager).

Pepsi the corporation had nothing to do with where they donated. If you're that upset take it up with them on linked in:

Random working class spending their salary as they see fit.

Possibly. I like to think that corporations sow discord so that we have stressful lives that don't amount to much and we keep mindlessly consuming.

Its exactly why they do. So no matter who wins they have friends in government.
