The other day during breakfast, I looked at the container of Tropicana orange juice and I got a surprise, it's actually owned by Pepsico. If you are looking to find a food company that's been around for many years, look no further!
The Pepsico Family
PepsiCo is a world leader in convenient foods and beverages, with 2004 revenues of more than $29 billion and 153,000 employees. The company consists of Frito-Lay North America, PepsiCo Beverages North America, PepsiCo International and Quaker Foods North America. PepsiCo brands are available in nearly 200 countries and territories and generate sales at the retail level of about $78 billion.
Many of PepsiCo's brand names are more than 100 years old, but the corporation is relatively young. PepsiCo was founded in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay. Tropicana was acquired in 1998 and PepsiCo merged with The Quaker Oats Company, including Gatorade, in 2001.
PepsiCo offers product choices to meet a broad variety of needs and preference - from fun-for-you items to product choices that contribute to healthier lifestyles.
PepsiCo's mission is "to be the world's premier consumer products company focused on convenient foods and beverages. We seek to produce healthy financial rewards to investors as we provide opportunities for growth and enrichment to our employees, our business partners and communities in which we operate. And in everything we do, we strive for honesty, fairness, and integrity."

Basic example of a little money going far!
I see it all the time, cooks and chefs that are realizing that a culinary career is not exactly a get rich kind of choice. To all the culinary students, cooks & chefs out there, start saving some money from day one. Buy a house as soon as you can, and/or invest into something that will grow while you sleep... When you wake up one day at 50 or 60 years old, you will have a some money to retire!
Invest $40 each week at 7% interest = $215,828.09 after 30 years
