How nice that middle class people with jobs can have a small garden area at work. Meanwhile third world and inner city folks who are flooded with corn syrup sweetner ads for products Pepsi produces, dont have the same luxury.

i wish that pepsi would make an organic variety with stevia, so that when i backslide, i don't slide as far.

Also we must remember tis is probably a spoof by Pepsico because their market is declining...they have many products out there and they're all filled with GMO's!!!I think pepsico is hoping this goodwill jester willget people to be sympatetic to their employees and start buying more Lay's chips,quacker products etc.etc.which are owned by PEPSICO and loaded with garbage ingedients!!Let's hope the beets etc planted by the employees are truly organic..but I wonder how long that will last due to the area of choice for the garden!!!

CORRECTION: That's GREENWASHING, not going Green.

David Frost: You're absolutely right.

A thought woirth remembering about PEPSICO is their checkered history of direct involvement in coup de etats (Chile 1973, Southeast Asia, Guatemala, et al) lassassinations (including JFK), bribes, corruption against governments this Faustian Corporation wanted removed...as well

Having photops with employees posing as weekend gardeners while PEPSICO stagemanages the phoney PR campaign s a load of hooey especially given that it still is stealing precious water from poverty stricken farmers in places like India...
