Carrefour pulls PepsiCo products in four EU countries over price hikes
Carrefour pulls PepsiCo products in four EU countries over price hikes
Stores in France, Italy, Spain and Belgium will no longer stock PepsiCo drinks, Lay’s and Doritos crisps and Quaker cereals
For context, Carrefour is one of Europe's largest retailers. And French; they take no shit

Pepsi Frito Lay is big enough not to care about the profits from one market globally. In Canada a couple years back they had a pricing dispute with the country's largest grocer which resulted in all of their snack products being unavailable nationwide for that grocery chain. Pepsico increased prices during the heart of the pandemic and the grocer refused to pay the higher price so Pepsico just stopped shipping product to them. It lasted for 2 months, and in the end the dispute resolved with no benefit to the customer whatsoever. Lays, Doritos, etc. remain the highest priced chips in the store by a long shot.
Yeah have you ever encountered French bloody-mindedness? 😂
No point resolving a dispute in PepsiCo's favour when there are better options available
Bret's will be jumping for joy; their flavour are already light years ahead of Lays shite
Bret’s is so damn good. There is a deli near my town that carries a few flavours and I make the trip just to get them.
Their roast chicken flavour is crack. And their Salt and Vinegar is better than the British ones by a mile now, but that's because the British ones are rebranded Lays
Big fan of their salt and vinegar flavour as well. Last time I got the Gouda, Camembert and confit d’oignons flavours 🤤
