This undeclared war against one of America’s strongest allies began with an act of outright hostility:
When the proud island nation refused to crumble following the introduction of yogurt-flavored Pepsi White, the corporate behemoth brought out the big guns and began "test-marketing" a society-threatening beverage which Pepsi claimed was merely a response to the overwhelming demand for a carbonated vegetable soda:
