No, it's not just Doritos and Fritos, it is also the Quaker Oats company, the makers of Captain Crunch!
While I understand the frustration of doing business with someone whose politics are offensive, the fact is that boycotts seldom change politics nor hurt the business sufficiently to cause a change of policy.
Boycotts hurt the consumer, who is depriving himself of a product that he would ordinarily enjoy. Or in the case of Pepsico, a wide ranging array of products. Frankly, I don't have the time to research the ultimate owner of every product I buy in order to determine their politics.
I just saw the irony in Captain Crunch posting in this thread.
Buy American, all other things equal.
