Interesting. It doesn't say whether this will affect stores in the Caribbean or not.
Now, if I could just get d*mn Direct TV back to showing CBS!!!!

I guess it will be something to watch. Lay's are my favorite chips, by far, but have actually had Carrefour chips and they aren't bad..

i'm okay with this decision...since i am a Coke fan anyways!! Last year we tried the carrefour label for chips and a couple of other things, and they were very good also...and a LOT cheaper than like six bucks a bag for Lay's chips!! fyi, the best potato chip on the market, is trader joe's "ode to the classic" potato chip. I know it's not SXM related, but if you haven't tried them, do it. Delicious. I used to be hooked on Lay's yellow bag, but haven't bought them since i had TJ's.

Ed--if it can happen to Pepsi, it can happen to Coke!! On Direct TV, we have gone through not having NBC here, then ABC, both of which came back eventually, and now CBS. These huge companies have p*ssing matches and the consumer is the one who takes it in the teeth.

Angelface--now that I think about it, I think perhaps it was Super U chips we have bought, not Carrefour brand. Whichever one it was, they were good and fresh. Often the Lays aren't really fresh.

This is in Europe. I doubt it affects SXM.
Why wouldn't it? Carrefour is Carrefour no matter where it's located.

Just the facts, jack.
The following was pulled from Reuters:
"From Thursday, shelves for PepsiCo (PEP.O) products at Carrefour stores in France, Italy, Spain and Belgium will carry signs saying the store will no longer be stocking the brands "due to unacceptable price increases", a spokesperson for the French supermarket giant said."
"Carrefour's move impacts more than 9,000 stores across the four countries, amounting to two-thirds of the retailer's global footprint of 14,348 stores according to its 2022 annual report."
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Now, if I could just get d*mn Direct TV back to showing CBS!!!! Sorry for the brain fart but I forgot to respond to this previously (and trying not to hijack the thread) We had Directv for MANY, MANY years and paid quite a bit for it....maybe 5 months ago I cancelled and switched to YouTube TV for a third of the price and with the same programming...Hulu and Netflix is paid for by T-Mobile and Paramont+ is a donation from my son....no blocked networks...I did pay for the NFL Sunday Ticket as a perk for ME...toatally satisfied with the switch ...and regarding the Pepsi products in SXM..not really something I will lose sleep over...as mentioned there are MANY decent replacements for all their products

jaxon--thanks for the note. I think the jury is still out on the question of whether SXM Carrefour stores will be affected by this policy, as the supply chain for this type of product is probably several months behind. It is also very possible that Carrefour will reach an agreement with Pepsi and Lays and start carrying the products again. That is my prediction with regard to this situation.
boucharda--Our situation is different than most with regard to Direct TV, as we cannot get any wired internet connection. The only internet we can get here is via our cell phones. I currently still wait to get CBS back on Direct TV...

Sorry I injected such a thread drift on this thread. Will try not to do that in future.

boucharda--what is there NOW I'm sure has been in the supply chain for months. The test will be what happens in a couple of months.

Jeff--Just because the press release talked about pulling products in Europe, it doesn't mean that they couldn't still pull the products in the Caribbean. I think the answer to this whole situation is that we will just have to see what happens. Products for the Caribbean would have been in the order pipeline for quite some time, so they still could be removed from shelves in the Caribbean. Of course, they could definitely still come to some type of agreement with them, and replace the products everywhere. It's in both of their best interests to do so.
