@@BeefyHits Well, Data East would be a complicated one. They dissolved in 2003, and the rights to many of their properties are in the hands of many different companies now.
the biggest danger is that with a brand as big as this, starting a boycott is impossible. it's not just a single item, it's pretty much everyday snacks and drinks for people in america. i specifically remember a boycott trying to be sparked a few months or so ago because of the way frito lays treats their employees, and the list of brands was so big that it didn't go very far
@@poetryflynn3712 considering walmart stopped making many replacement "generic" foods my family buys so we were forced to buy "brands" over the years I'd say nah, even replacements get run out of the market.

I think it was around 2004 that I found an PepsoCo annual report booklet around the house. Being me, I read the whole thing. I was one of those kids who liked to bring up "fun facts" that were actually only fun to me. I told a bunch of my friends, who had just purchased gatorades on a school field trip that they purchased drinks from Pepsi. They argued incessantly about how Gatorade was "it's own company!" I wish I was petty enough to show them this video.
As an employee of pepsi, I knew a lot of this stuff already but only because I did my own research. Most pepsi employees don't even know the complicated history of the company they work for!
Having a parent who works for Pepsi is awesome, my dad brings home so many snacks and drinks all the time that he gets for free on occasion. Big flex in middle school to have 20 crates of Baja blast just sitting in my garage 😂
I ran a fast food store in the 90s and we served Pepsi. They supplied the dispenser machine, product, and cups. I figured the cost, the soda cost us 3 cents / cup, the cup cost 5 cents each. With such low cost we gave free re-fills. Our machine broke one day so I quickly called the company. Within 30 minutes a repairman was there and finished within 5 minutes. Have to admit that that is great management.
That was like us in a movie theater in 1998 when our Coke fountain machine broke down. A Coke tech was there Johnny on the Spot. It was almost like responding to a nuclear attack lol!!!!! We talked about that for a couple of days too.
Bought stock in PepsiCo this year when I started investing. One of my best purchases to date. Price keeps going up steadily without any crazy moves, company pays a lot of dividends, and because they're always chasing Coca-Cola, they're constantly investing in growth, which means they won't rest on their laurels.
@@dweep9546 investing in stocks that cannot be predicted by advancded mathematics and algorithms is a safer bet for you? I ain't discussing with idiots that didn't graduate college.
Pepsi also owned its own Navy at one point. Although I believe they either sold/scraped the vessels since they were outdated at it's time and Pepsi had no need for a navy, they once received the vessels in a deal for payment from the old USSR. Atleast I believe it was the USSR but it may of been another Eurasian Country.
@@TwatMcGee nope they didnt. The deal was thought about but never went through. Here is a short Video from History Matters about that topic th-cam.com/video/nqCSxyudKHY/w-d-xo.html
Some additional facts that were skipped in this video: 1. PepsiCo owns the distribution rights of 7-Up outside North America. 2. Prior to its distribution deal with PepsiCo in 2009, Rockstar Energy had a partnership with Coca-Cola in the 2000s. One of the products of the partnership was the short-lived Von Dutch energy drink. 3. Dr Pepper's distribution deals are split between Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Cadbury-Schweppes, and other independent bottlers depending on region. It gets confusing in some cities; for example, half of Los Angeles has Dr Pepper distributed by Coca-Cola while the other half of the city receives their supply from PepsiCo. 4. Lipton Iced Tea (including Brisk) is a joint venture between Unilever and PepsiCo. 5. Prior to PepsiCo's acquisition of Quaker Oats, they had their own sports drink called "All Sport" in the 1990s. Since the Quaker Oats acquisition gave them ownership of Gatorade, PepsiCo no longer needed the All Sport brand and sold it to The Monarch Beverage Company. 6. PepsiCo left Indonesia in 2019 due to poor sales and a falling out with the local distributor. As a result, KFC and Pizza Hut chains in the country switched to Coca-Cola.
@areasevenpro Cadbury Schweppes ceased to exist in 2008 when it was split into two separate companies, now owned by Mondelez and Keurig Dr Pepper, respectively...
PepsiCo is actually the biggest food conglomerate in America! Bigger than Coca Cola, because they’re not just a soda company, they own snack foods by Frito Lays, Quaker Oats, and even once own fast food companies! Should do a video on Yum Brands! KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut are all still selling Pepsi products and flavors even after the spinoff! Also anyone remembers Pepsiman, the short lived mascot that was mostly popular in Japan, but failed in America due to strict regulations of using animated characters in sodas!
I just bought a copy of Pepsi Man on PS1 for yuks. I HATE Pepsi management for how shitty they treats us hourly workers (GO BTSGM local 218 and USW local 7609! We are still actual people despite what management thinks. 12 hour shift non stop every day for weeks on end is SLAVERY. FUCK your LAZY, OVERPAID "management".

Inteteresting that Pepsi convinced grocery stores to put the fritolay products in the same aisle. I've always noticed that stores put pop and chips together, didn't know Pepsi directly had something to do with it
I and my family live and have been living in New Bern, NC (birthplace of Pepsi~Cola) since the 1700s when it was first settled. The Pharmacy (on Middle St, in downtown New Bern) that Caleb Bradham developed the drink in is still there and you can get a mighty fine fountain Pepsi. I actually lived on Middle St just 2 blocks N of the pharmacy and would go for a Pepsi and Pop Corn every weekend.
The way I found out that Pepsi was a mega conglomerate was when I was eating Oatmeal one morning and I was Reading the back of the oats box which so happened to be Quaker And I saw the name Pepsi and googled it
A great entry for this series would be Honeywell. You might know them for your thermostat, but they are actually a huge conglomerate company heavily involved in Areospace, DoD, Commercial HVAC, etc.
Wow! I didn't know Pepsi owned Rockstar energy drink, nor did I know that Pepsi owned/created Kickstart energy drink by Mountain Dew. Those 2 energy drinks are huge in the Caribbean.
Mike, in the future, would you ever consider making a mini-series that talks (more in-depth) JUST about certain finance terms (aka Spin-off, Hostile Takeover, Same-store sales, Merger, etc.)?

I was eating Quaker Oats while watching this. I've been watching this guy's videos left and right lately, but this is the first time the "Bigger Than You Know" subject applied to me in the moment.
I learn so much from you with all these videos. I love Pepsi and I love Coke but lately I find myself buying the Pepsi more often. I always tell myself that it's what I'm in the mood for
@@Half_Finis Apparently in the 80s, the Soviets traded 17 subs and a bunch of ships in exchange for a load of Pepsi. Pepsi sold the fleet to a scrapyard.
While I no longer drink Pepsi cola, I do love their other sodas, esp Mountain Dew! Besides drinks, Pepsi owned Fritos-Lays (the chip snacks co) & used to own Pizza Hut, KFC, & Taco Bell until 1996 when they would spin off into a new company. Great one Company Man!
But Pepsi is still original recipe in u.s.? Here in Norway they recently removed half the sugar and added sweeteners. Atrocious. I suspect Norway is a small market and they're just testing it.
@@peppigue They're introducing a lot of reduced/sugar free product lines here in the states at the moment. Populations are big enough for them to keep a core consumer base and hope to grab the people who normally look elsewhere for healthy alternatives. It also helps that a lot of people who grew up drinking these sugary beverages can maybe return to drinking them without likening it to a guilty pleasure.
Pepsi is arguably the biggest player in the grocery store, perhaps the biggest player ever. Dominating snacks so that effectively they have an entire aisle in stores is huge. Add to that their sodas, flavored waters, etc. Then add in their restaurant holdings, manufacturing facilities, marketing, etc etc.
Coke had the opportunity to buy Pepsi in the world war 2 era due to the sugar rationing. However, Coke was receiving all the sugar they needed because they supplied the military with their product, and turned bankrupt Pepsi away thinking the weight of the situation would finally end their competition. How did that work for them?
Also, I remember when Burger King sold Pepsi, but then switched to Coke. I feel Pepsi bought all of those restaurants in order to have an excuse to serve Pepsi products. It hasn't really changed over the years.
I worked for KFC back when they were owned by Pepsi. Then I moved and got to work for the only KFCs in the world not owned by Pepsi. And just like you say, they sold Coke so they wouldn't be supporting the competition, but also because Pepsi kept suing trying to revoke their franchise rights.
Just curious, was this outside of Charlotte near Carowinds? I remember the KFC there sold Coke products and it was very odd seeing the Coke branding covering the normal Pepsi logos.
They have an agreement with Dr. Pepper/Snapple to market 7UP outside the US, it's not their brand, though. However, Sierra Mist is getting harder to find in stores now.
I don’t who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Good talk I tell that to my friends everyday. Saving is good investing is much better, I used to think saving would save me but NO, saving is just keeping to spend later.
Have you been here to New Bern, NC? To see Caleb's pharmacy? You should, if not. I actually lived on Middle St (same as the pharmacy) just 2 blocks N. Lovely historical town.
This was really helpful, I had no knowledge that PepsiCo owned that many products. Now I will have Frito-Lay snacks when having a Pepsi. This helps me so much to know that Pepsi was doing better than Coke in so many ways, I can now teach this knowledge to others that love Pepsi just like me.
Hi pls say hi back Btw nice singing lol PS: Can we also talk about The time the Russians gave Pepsi 17 submarines, one frigate, one cruiser, and one destroyer for $3 Billion worth of Pepsi. making them the 6th biggest Military in the world
Maybe it’s not in NA or maybe most people don’t recognise this but I’ve known basically everything in the video except for the fast food and “other” stuff. All the beverages’ caps have “PEPSICO” on them. And for the eatables, their name is written beside the expiration date.
I haven't had a soda in sooo long that I never knew Slice was discontinued. I used to pour it over mint ice cream like a rootbeer float. It was surprisingly good. Naked is one of my favorite juices, which I also can't drink anymore, because it has as much sugar as 2 bags of peanut M&Ms.
Not to mention, Naked uses formaldehyde to make some of their ingredients. I know that it chemically changes into harmless ingredients but it still weirds me out.
I’ve now watched all of your videos! I’m not usually into this sort of thing, but the way you break down these companies is fascinating! Keep up the good work.
I'm not sure this is mentioned specifically and it falls under the beverages category, but the Pepsi/Lipton (Unilever) partnership is pretty significant regarding iced teas such as pure leaf and the variety of bottled Lipton teas...sales inch out Arizona a bit and are double that of Coca Cola's Gold Peak iced tea brand.
If I recall correctly you couldn't buy Coca-Cola in the entire Soviet Union because Pepsi got an exclusive licensing deal. There was a lake called Peipsi and they sold a form of their soda under the name "Peipsi-Cola" for a time.
Nope, the deal with the soviets never went through and even if it would have it would have been very far away from being in the top 10 of largest Navys. History Matters made a good very short Video about it. th-cam.com/video/nqCSxyudKHY/w-d-xo.html
I manage a few retail stores owned by my family and I always knew the snacks and beverages Pepsi made, because the pepsi guys would deliver them. But I had no idea they owned Tropicana, Quaker oats, the cereal companies and some more.
Another interesting fact about Pepsi is they once had one of the largest Naval fleets in the world because of a deal with Russia if I remember correctly Edit I'm wrong
They didn't include it because it never happened. Pepsi was popular in Russia and they offered to pay with the money from some ships and submarines to be scrapped in India. The ships to be scrapped themselves wouldn't of even given them the worlds 6th largest navy.
most conglomerates are very bigger than people realize, the currente phase of capitalism has reached a level of scale and concentration unheard before.
Thanks for the coverage of PepsiCo. You covered lots of stuff I hadn't known. One mistake you made concerned Diet Pepsi being the first nationwide diet drink. You mentioned Coke's Tab (which was my favorite for a lot of years) as another early diet drink. But the first was actually Diet Rite Cola. It was introduced in 1958 and became nationwide in 1962, still beating Pepsi as the diet drink originator, which came out in 1963.
One of these days we’re going to hear about some company that started to diversify and began to invest in TH-cam channels and bough, (Surprise) the Company Man channel.

I'd love to see a deeper dive on Pepsi! Great video!
Wow! Pepsi really is “Bigger Than You Know” 🤯
Can’t believe you didn’t mention their Soviet military fleet under “other”
Hold up
@@Half_Finis Apparently in the 80s, the Soviets traded 17 subs and a bunch of ships in exchange for a load of Pepsi.
Pepsi sold the fleet to a scrapyard.

Company man back with more on point content as usual
While I no longer drink Pepsi cola, I do love their other sodas, esp Mountain Dew!
Besides drinks, Pepsi owned Fritos-Lays (the chip snacks co) & used to own Pizza Hut, KFC, & Taco Bell until 1996 when they would spin off into a new company.
Great one Company Man!
But Pepsi is still original recipe in u.s.? Here in Norway they recently removed half the sugar and added sweeteners. Atrocious. I suspect Norway is a small market and they're just testing it.
@@peppigue They're introducing a lot of reduced/sugar free product lines here in the states at the moment. Populations are big enough for them to keep a core consumer base and hope to grab the people who normally look elsewhere for healthy alternatives. It also helps that a lot of people who grew up drinking these sugary beverages can maybe return to drinking them without likening it to a guilty pleasure.
@@tylerwerner291 and the low sugar options are filled with chemicals and are just as bad.
@@EJ257IHI Some are a lot of companies are opting for stevia /agave
The is my favorite show that drops on Wednesdays.
Pepsi is arguably the biggest player in the grocery store, perhaps the biggest player ever. Dominating snacks so that effectively they have an entire aisle in stores is huge. Add to that their sodas, flavored waters, etc. Then add in their restaurant holdings, manufacturing facilities, marketing, etc etc.
Coke had the opportunity to buy Pepsi in the world war 2 era due to the sugar rationing. However, Coke was receiving all the sugar they needed because they supplied the military with their product, and turned bankrupt Pepsi away thinking the weight of the situation would finally end their competition. How did that work for them?
Also, I remember when Burger King sold Pepsi, but then switched to Coke. I feel Pepsi bought all of those restaurants in order to have an excuse to serve Pepsi products. It hasn't really changed over the years.
In india BK still sells pepsi
Man, I ways get excited when these videos get released. _Let's learn about some soda_
Sierra Mist is gone too. Now the drink like that is called Starry. 😉
> 4:41
In the UK PepsiCo do "Tango" instead of "Sierra Mist" - their direct competitor to Coca Cola's Fanta. It's relatively popular, but not huge.
Pepsi have a partnership with Beyond Meat now to make plant based snacks, it just keeps on expanding!
I worked for KFC back when they were owned by Pepsi. Then I moved and got to work for the only KFCs in the world not owned by Pepsi. And just like you say, they sold Coke so they wouldn't be supporting the competition, but also because Pepsi kept suing trying to revoke their franchise rights.
Just curious, was this outside of Charlotte near Carowinds? I remember the KFC there sold Coke products and it was very odd seeing the Coke branding covering the normal Pepsi logos.
Given the choice, I will always choose Pepsi over Coke. Hands down, all day.
Same
Agreed.
Same here. It's the choice of a new generation.
Really appreciate you singing the jingle for us man 😄
Your singing was the best part of the video I will forever remember the Pepsi jingle lol
What are you talking about? 7UP is actually offered by PepsiCo outside the US. So that's their equivalent for Sprite.
They have an agreement with Dr. Pepper/Snapple to market 7UP outside the US, it's not their brand, though. However, Sierra Mist is getting harder to find in stores now.
I don’t who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Invest globally in bitcoin, gold, silver, forex market, drop shipping and all other commodities . Just don't be left out and save yourself.
Good talk I tell that to my friends everyday. Saving is good investing is much better, I used to think saving would save me but NO, saving is just keeping to spend later.
@@gustav2515 What if you don’t know how to trade any of these?
@@nicollete5447 I mean.... I see your point. Some people have money and are willing to invest but the problem is where to.

Pepsi is the only thing I live for. Pepsi gang rise up
To the Nazi flag, No Thanks..Pepsi SUCKS ASS
Have you been here to New Bern, NC? To see Caleb's pharmacy? You should, if not. I actually lived on Middle St (same as the pharmacy) just 2 blocks N. Lovely historical town.
This was really helpful, I had no knowledge that PepsiCo owned that many products. Now I will have Frito-Lay snacks when having a Pepsi. This helps me so much to know that Pepsi was doing better than Coke in so many ways, I can now teach this knowledge to others that love Pepsi just like me.
I love the disappointment when he mentions aunt jemima LMAO
First day on the job as a drugdealer
*giggles*
"We don't have coke, is Pepsi ok?
i used to hate Wednesdays but this channel made me love Wednesdays
No Pepsiman video game reference? “Bigger than you know” totally reminded me of the level where you’re chased by a giant rolling Pepsi can.
Pepsi for TV Games

Fun Fact Pepsi Owned the 6th largest navy at one point
Most underrated fact of this decade. ⭕️
I can't believe he didn't mention that time Pepsi took warships as payment from Russia
Hi pls say hi back
Btw nice singing lol
PS: Can we also talk about The time the Russians gave Pepsi 17 submarines, one frigate, one cruiser, and one destroyer for $3 Billion worth of Pepsi. making them the 6th biggest Military in the world
They should have keep the fleet to store Pepsi on 😆
Completely forgot about slice and now of course I immediately said I miss that one. Sierra mist is not good.
Sierra mist is the Pepsi of 7-up
When it was Mist Twst it tasted way better
Wrong, Slice sucked.
@@AxeIRad That used artificial flavors and corn syrup.
Slice was the best. I miss it so much.
As a Coca-Cola person, I want a “Bigger than you know” episode on Coca-Cola.
How about a Coke is Woker Than You Know episode? Of course Pepsi is also rather woke.
@@Rob-bo7yn like gillette, we're so woke we'll call our main customer base bad (Men).
@@volvo09 and we insult them by thinking that some "Old Spice" will fix everything
Pepsi is better
They only have drinks
This is crazy. I did not know most of this!
Maybe it’s not in NA or maybe most people don’t recognise this but I’ve known basically everything in the video except for the fast food and “other” stuff. All the beverages’ caps have “PEPSICO” on them. And for the eatables, their name is written beside the expiration date.
I haven't had a soda in sooo long that I never knew Slice was discontinued. I used to pour it over mint ice cream like a rootbeer float. It was surprisingly good.
Naked is one of my favorite juices, which I also can't drink anymore, because it has as much sugar as 2 bags of peanut M&Ms.
Not to mention, Naked uses formaldehyde to make some of their ingredients. I know that it chemically changes into harmless ingredients but it still weirds me out.
Isn’t naked just natural fruit sugars though?
@@OscarUnrated no it’s not it’s a fake advertisement
@@OscarUnrated Even it it is, it doesn’t matter, sugar is sugar.
Most juices tend to be just as bad as pop but use their advertising to make it seem healthy
I’ve now watched all of your videos! I’m not usually into this sort of thing, but the way you break down these companies is fascinating! Keep up the good work.
Can you do a video on Blackrock, the company that owns the majority of companies in the united states?
I'm not sure this is mentioned specifically and it falls under the beverages category, but the Pepsi/Lipton (Unilever) partnership is pretty significant regarding iced teas such as pure leaf and the variety of bottled Lipton teas...sales inch out Arizona a bit and are double that of Coca Cola's Gold Peak iced tea brand.
If I recall correctly you couldn't buy Coca-Cola in the entire Soviet Union because Pepsi got an exclusive licensing deal. There was a lake called Peipsi and they sold a form of their soda under the name "Peipsi-Cola" for a time.
I hate their new logo. I guess it isn't really new anymore, though
I remember the all caps Pepsi from my childhood.
Also at one point in Thier history they had the 5th largest Navy in the world
How is ur comment 23 hours ago but the video is only 5 min old
That's actually just a myth. The deal with the USSR never actually went through.
History Matters did a 2 minute video debunking that myth that's pretty good
@@fidaananver Company man might have a patreon and send members the link for early access
Nope, the deal with the soviets never went through and even if it would have it would have been very far away from being in the top 10 of largest Navys. History Matters made a good very short Video about it. th-cam.com/video/nqCSxyudKHY/w-d-xo.html
Your videos are fascinating! Please keep them coming 😉
I manage a few retail stores owned by my family and I always knew the snacks and beverages Pepsi made, because the pepsi guys would deliver them. But I had no idea they owned Tropicana, Quaker oats, the cereal companies and some more.
Another interesting fact about Pepsi is they once had one of the largest Naval fleets in the world because of a deal with Russia if I remember correctly
Edit I'm wrong
Yeah, I was certain he was going to mention it in this video, quite disappointing to see otherwise.
Fake news
this is a video about that, sadly it seems that it was a proposed idea but never actually happened. th-cam.com/video/nqCSxyudKHY/w-d-xo.html
@@rabbityfrogs ahh thank you
You forgot the blurb about how PepsiCo became the 6th Largest Navy in the world for a very brief time.
Damned Russians!
They didn't include it because it never happened. Pepsi was popular in Russia and they offered to pay with the money from some ships and submarines to be scrapped in India. The ships to be scrapped themselves wouldn't of even given them the worlds 6th largest navy.
I worked for Pepsi for 26 years. They are def bigger than most people realize.
Is the video true
most conglomerates are very bigger than people realize, the currente phase of capitalism has reached a level of scale and concentration unheard before.
Thanks for the coverage of PepsiCo. You covered lots of stuff I hadn't known. One mistake you made concerned Diet Pepsi being the first nationwide diet drink. You mentioned Coke's Tab (which was my favorite for a lot of years) as another early diet drink. But the first was actually Diet Rite Cola. It was introduced in 1958 and became nationwide in 1962, still beating Pepsi as the diet drink originator, which came out in 1963.
Wrong, No Cal came before Diet RC. Even Canada Dry came out with sodas that were diet before DRC hit the market
@@SR-vq8pj I have no memory of No Cal. Note, though, that I was referring to nationwide brands (USA). Was No Cal distributed throughout the country?
10:04 Is that a Corn Pizza?!?!
Mango Pepsi is unbelievably good
They put crack in that
One of these days we’re going to hear about some company that started to diversify and began to invest in TH-cam channels and bough, (Surprise) the Company Man channel.
