Now that we're on the subject of losers... Who are the silly people who were behind the launch of MD here in the UK. I bought the stock because I believe Pepsi si a winner and I love the products. But someone is letting us down. Pepsico International in London told me (on a voice mail) that they had nothing to do with it. Boy, makes you wonder what they ARE doing here??!!??!! Spending my dividend perhaps? Not only have I lost a Princess, I've pretty much lost my favorite soft drink. MD has finally bitten the dust. With the exception of a few very large supermarkets and one, I repeat - ONE Pepsi machine in London, the stuff is just plain impossible to find. Kelly, I'm glad you like the 'retro' can because no one in the UK does. Please tell your mid-to-high $6-figure per year friends in New York that their experiment has failed and the time for a re-launch has come. Frankly, they owe me an apology. Can anyone imagine Coke or Nike changing their trademark in the UK? WHAT WERE THESE PEOPLE THINKING? Lets put the MD that the rest of the world loves in the UK ASAP!!!!!!! Merry Christmas Goddammitt!
