Pepsi is garbage. I’d rather not have anything than drink that.

The Pepsi vs coke rivalry was already tipped in cokes favor, this is a cannon shot.

When the restaurants changed to Pepsi, she explained that Pepsi paid them 5K for each restaurant to change to Pepsi.
That’s not very much of an incentive….quite low considering the risk.

Taco Bell is the only restaurant that should have Pepsi products instead of coke products

Pepsi hasn't owned these restaurants since 1997. However it looks like they gave themselves a 30 year contract before the spin off:
quote:
No, PepsiCo does not own Yum! Brands.
• The Spin-Off: PepsiCo originally created the restaurant division and owned chains like KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. However, PepsiCo spun off the entire restaurant business in 1997 as Tricon Global Restaurants, which later became Yum! Brands.
• Independent Ownership: Yum! Brands is now a completely separate, publicly traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
• Beverage Contracts: While PepsiCo no longer owns Yum! Brands, the two companies maintained long-standing commercial supply agreements. However, this partnership is changing; for example, KFC announced plans to replace Pepsi with Coca-Cola across its U.S. restaurants starting in 2027.

It's the other way around. See my post right above this one.

They did until they sold it 30 years ago. See my post above

If Taco Bell does away with Mountain Dew, I’m done with them.

Mr. Pibb is actually a Coca-Cola product They made it to go against Dr. Pepper. Remember DP is not Coca-Cola. It’s a competitor
This is interesting when you consider that it is bottled and distributed by Coca-Cola.

Mountain Dew goes with Taco Bell not KFC

Maybe it's a Texas thing?
It's also a Louisiana thing. At least the New Orleans area. When Rite Aid purchased K&B, they had to renegotiate their national contract with Pepsi to allow Coke to be sold at their stores, because people were going to a Pepsi only convenience store.
