So I stopped to put gas in my car and walked into the convenience store to get a Pepsi (need a sugar pick up I guess). Anyway, I saw a plastic bottle of regular Pepsi that was made in China and is being sold here. That raises questions.
1). Was the finished product made, bottled and shipped from China for consumption here, or...
2). Was the actual product made there and shipped here for bottling and consumption here?

Gosh damn. Who is the butthead American politician that signed off on this deal either way? No, I didn't buy that as I bought two cans of domestically produced product and drank that. Found this stuff at a Timewise Shell station on FM2920 and HWY 99 in Klein.

Peace for Ukraine!

Probably made with Pangolin juice.

The sounds more like the store owner doing some special product acquisition. There are many Pepsi bottlers in US...and Texas if that is where you are located. Pepsi sourcing from China doesn't make any business sense

Yeah, Pepsi isn't sourcing from China. This guy is doing his own thing

My guess is counterfeit product that otherwise slipped customs detection.
No damn telling what's actually in that bottle, but it ain't pepsi.

Yep, it's mystery chola.

As far as pepsi goes, I would point out that their PepsiCo brethren Frito-Lay is HQ'd in Plano, so in a way, it's basically a 50% Texas company.

Coke F's up my stomach so I started sucking Pepsi then. There is good Pepsi and some that makes me wonder. Still an ice cold Pepsi is good stuff.

Diet Cola O from Kroger FTW. Diet Dr. K is solid too

OP, are you on drugs?

I go, "No mom, I'm not on drugs, I'm okay, I'm just thinking, you know
Why don't you get me a Pepsi?"
She goes, "No, you're on drugs!"
I go, "Mom, I'm okay, I'm just thinking
She goes, "No, you're not thinking, you're on drugs!
Normal people don't act that way"
I go, "Mom, just get me a Pepsi, please"
All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
And she wouldn't give it to me, just a Pepsi
