Did more checking on Frito Lay products here (Taiwan). Went to one of
the larger grocery chains... found that they *do* have packaged snacks (chips, etc.) in flavors that the locals like... fish, etc. They are distributed thru President Pepsi Foods. Not sure how good they sell, however. I've never noticed them at my friends' homes.

NO cola products to be found, though. KO dominates. Almost all restaurants sell KO. PEP is in 7-11 and places like that.

PEP's restaurants do great in Asia. KFC and Pizza Hut are very popular. I think their popularity stems from being American more than the food, price, etc. The only chicken competition is Church's and we all know that place sux. Dominos is here, but once gain, they suck.
