Uh, Pepsi is the #2 soft drink maker.  Not only that but when they used to own 
KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers, and other outlets, they signed 
them up to very very long-term exclusivity agreements and then spun off the 
company into what is now Yum.  Yum is now stuck with selling Pepsi products 
for the foreseeable future.

No, but that's not my problem.  If there were a market out there there would 
be somebody doing it.
