Pepsi and Lays products pulld from shelves in Europe

over price increases.

we should be doing the same. Our stores won't pull them..so it's up to us to not buy them.

Stores are free to do business or not with whomever they want. If their goal is to lower prices for their customers, I can't argue with them. If I buy sodas, I've found the cheap store brand sodas are just as good if not better than Coke or Pepsi. Same goes for potato chips.

Price increases will never be a reason to pull anything from the shelves thanks to "Bidenomics". Live worse, pay more.

True enough. Although, and I looked a little closer on another board and in some news articles, it seems a store chain in France thought it could ORDER lower prices.

Those suppliers couldn't or wouldn't comply. Probably they're justified; perhaps not, but that's their watch.

So those stores won't carry those products.

That's how it is. I'm not a Costco member, but they have a limited selection of brands, with heavy emphasis on their house brand, Kirkland. Because their whole theme is low prices for members - and many producers cannot meet expectations, and/or don't want to sell at no margin when they could sell their production to other grocers at a higher markup.

All of these are within their rights. And if Costco wants to go the way of Shopko...they may, also.

Own nuffink; eat ze bugs.

Not a big loss. All those products do is make people fat and unhealthy. The only Pepsi product I'll drink these days is Aquafina bottled water.

is tht spring water or purified water. Probably be a good idea to start watching the label on many of these waters too. Just like the soft drinks.

It's purified water, but I've never had an issue with it. I used to get it from the vending machine at my old job, because there was nothing else it offered that I liked to drink. Nowadays, I mostly drink Propel electrolyte water.
