There are many products by PepsiCo that have nothing to do with soft drinks & chips.
It's pretty hard for people to stay away from everything these big companies make.
I don't drink pop because they're all too sweet for me, no matter the sugar used.
One last night: as the perceived sweetness of fructose is higher than that of sucrose, HFCS (granting the health issues around how the body digests the 2 sugars), with It's higher ratio of fructose (white sugar is about 48% fructose, the balance dextrose), it's sweeter. So, they actually use a pinch less than when they used sucrose.
HFCS is a give & take vs sucrose.
