this is globalization at its worst..its a shame they cant have some indigenous beverage to be more representative of the local culture... Hey what do I know, ive never been to Pakistan..maybe Pepsi is rampant in all parts of the country!
The US is not the sole super power..Pepsi and Coke are, also!
P.S. I love it when i go to Mexico and when I am thirsty, they have all kinds if tasty, refreshing and colorful soft drinks to choose from.. they are actually starting to import some of these to the States.
If i fly PIA, I am going to have a hot cup of tea(with milk), an impositional request on any US carrier.

Oh whatever. Who the hell cares.....I have always wondered if United uses Charmin as its sole supplier of TP on all domestic flights.

globalization at its worst? or best?
If you're gonna make them use only indigenous beverages, why not use only indigenous aircraft as well? Then I guess PIA would have to shut down since Pakistan does not build its own aircraft.
Whether Pepsi is the official drink of PIA is really completely, absolutely inconsequential.
Panam, TWA, Ansett, Eastern.......AC next? Might be good for Canada.

Well, if its globalization you are against, then PIA should not be flying either Boeing or Airbus aircraft. Why don't they just fly a Pakistani built jetliner?
