PepsiCo

I purchased my normal 20-pack cans of Pepsi from Fry's grocery on Greenway and 67th St. I took the product home about a block away. I left it all in the case. One day later, I went to open the carton and pulled back the cardboard with my fingers. I had a Pepsi with ice on this same day. Then the very next day, still in the carton were 19 cans. I went to put them in the refrigerator and grabbed it and boom! To my surprise, the side from end to end blew out in a nanosecond. I didn't get hurt, just wet and surprised! There was no apparent damage or marks on the case. It was not near any heat nor frozen or bumped.

PepsiCo (PEPSI and MOUNTAIN DEW) Keep Raising Prices But Refuse to Give a Single Coupon to Loyal Customers! I have been an avid Mountain Dew drinker for 20 years. I currently drink about a 12 pack of 12 oz cans a day. I emailed PepsiCo and let them know how much I enjoyed their products and asked if they could send me any coupons and this is the reply that I got:

"Dear Jamie, Thank you for taking the time to contact us at Pepsi-Cola regarding Pepsi and Mountain Dew coupons. I'm happy to learn that you enjoy our products. Although we're unable to send you what you requested, I recommend that you watch for promotional offers on our website and on specially marked bottles and cans in your area. I'd also invite you to sign up for Pepsi X-tras. You'll be among the first to know about exciting sweepstakes, events, and Pepsi World news.

"About every two weeks, you'll get a Pepsi X-tras email with things like free, X-CLUSIVE access to special sweepstakes, cheat codes, and even free samples. Plus, you'll get the insider's edge on Pepsi music, sports, promotions, and all of our exciting brands. To sign up, simply go to www.pepsi.com and click on 'Join Pepsi'. Thanks again for thinking of us. We greatly appreciate your support. Chris **, Consumer Relations Representative"

Upon receiving this, I sent them another email letting them know how horrible I thought it was that they earned $1.43 billion last quarter in the US alone and couldn't even condescend to give a loyal customer a coupon. I let them know that I would be posting this to every consumer website I could find and would no longer be a Pepsi customer and I meant every word of it. I have not received a response, and don't expect that I will. By the way: I have been subscribed to their promotional emails for almost 2 years and have never received a coupon (not even on my birthday when they send out those lame videos). This behavior is despicable, especially in such tough economic times!

It didn't cause me any harm, but it destroyed my consumer relationship with PepsiCo. I will no longer purchase Pepsi, Frito lay, Gatorade, Tropicana, Quaker, or Sobe products because PepsiCo owns all of these companies and has no interest in keeping their loyal customers.

I consider this a consumer safety until after I have a 12-pack of Pepsi Zero Max that exploded. Two of the cans' top lids with their liquid blew out through the top of the carton, hitting the ceiling and walls. Over the next two days, the other cans also exploded. The can lids blew cleanly off the cans with the half frozen liquid hitting the ceiling and walls. One can was split from top to bottom, and all of the cans had bowed bottoms.

They caused a mess to the ceiling,walls and floor. It scared the heck out of my wife and me just thinking of what could have happened. More information...the carton of Zero Max was stored in my garage along with other Pepsi products all purchased the same day--DR Pepper, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Pepsi Wild Cheery.

All of these products became somewhat frozen overnight. But only the Zero Max exploded with a force that could have caused injuries and/or unknown damages. Yes, I have the cans, lids, carton, and even some of the frozen Zero Max. I contacted PepsiCo, but I just received the standard thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

I told the Consumer Relations Representative that I was reporting this as a possible consumer safety issue--that the cans could be defective and/or this designed can was not designed for this product. "Well, sir, this product has no or little sugar, and that's why it will freeze!" They just sent me a couple of store coupons. The carton and cans have no information or instructions on storing the product!

I bought a can of Pepsi out of the machine at work and there was mold on the rim of the can. Maybe it was an older can, but should there ever really be mold on the can?

Tropicana sugar Free Lemonade label is contradictory. The 12 pack box Nutrition Facts claims <0 carbohydrate gram per serving yet the can Nutrition Facts shows 2 carbohydrate grams per serving.

While drinking out of a can of Diet Pepsi, a foreign object hit my lips! I got it out of the can and nearly threw up...it was squishy/rubbery and about 2 cm in a sort of round shape. My mom said it looked like a slug!!

I have purchase a sealed 500ml bottle of Mirinda Orange soft drinks (a product of Pepsi). Before opening the bottle I have seen that a dead mosquito is floating inside the liquid of the bottle.

We have encountered outdated product with the last 4 purchaces The product tasted nasty. We have lost about $40.00 due to the Diet Pepsi being outdated. It was flat and bitter.
