After decades of battling it out for my loyalty, PepsiCo. Inc. has won my alliegence (as best as any soft-drink manufacturer can), by simply making itself a minority. With Ms. Nooyi coming in as the eleventh (that's a one preceded by another one) female CEO of a Fortune 500 company, it's no wonder women are feeling the sting of the idea of an imaginary glass ceiling.
Those who know me, know that I know that there are external forces that keep the glass ceiling in place that don't involve the oppressive man, but I'm finding startling (but not surprising) that women only account for just over 16% of corporate officers. Sure, lots of women opt to take a year off to make a baby or two and that makes our whole gender economically unreliable in the grand scheme of things (especially if they fall in love with pukeypookie and opt to stay home foreva!), but is there not a viable solution for investing in women in the workplace to allow for the possibility of trusting career-minded women? I'm seriously doubting that the mere admission that a woman does not want to pass a baby through her loins is ever taken seriously (speaking from my own experience: very few people on this planet take me seriously).
Back on topic about how I'll drink PepsiCo. Inc. products:
I realize that this is not exactly a difficult choice as I prefer Aquafina over salted Dasani and the rest of the sugary water all tastes the same to me, but now I'm going to make a concerted effort to support PepsiCo. Inc and their choice to appoint a woman in the seas of men.

Chapter's too. Despite the "killing small bookstores" thing.
