Pepsi is a publically traded stock-market company owned by public shareholders. While some of the individual shareholders might be Mormon, the company itself was never owned by Mormons or by the Mormon Church (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

Why don't Mormons drink alcohol?
Buddhism is about gaining clarity and understanding. Alcohol is about losing it. When we becomes Buddhists, we undertake to live according to a set of precepts, one of which is that we should not use alcohol or other drugs in ways that cloud the mind.

How do Mormons eat their meat?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can eat whatever they want. Most Church members choose to follow a health code called the "Word of Wisdom". They believe that the Prophet Joseph Smith received this health code in a revelation from God. The Word of Wisdom prohibits the consumption of "hot drinks" (defined as coffee and tea) and "strong drinks" (defined as alcoholic or highly caffeinated beverages) as well as use of any tobacco products, smoking, or drug abuse. It also suggests eating a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, and fruit, while using meat sparingly.
The Word of Wisdom is up to the interpretation of the individual Church member. Some follow it very strictly, even to the point of avoiding all sodas and 'junk food', while others don't follow it much at all. Adherence to the Word of Wisdom is required in order for a convert to qualify for baptism or for a church member to participate in special Temple worship services.
You can learn more about the Word of Wisdom at the "Related Links" below.
If your boyfriend is Mormon how can you convert and become Mormon?
Talk to your boyfriend. Or go to the church and talk to the missionaries. You can go to Mormon.org and get more info. However joining because of your boyfriend should not be your reason. Check it out and then decide.
yeah, the best way to do that is to talk to the missionaries. and i totally agree, you need to know for sure, for yourself that the church is true.
ReadAnother thing to do is to read the Book of Mormon, which Mormons believe is another book, in addition to the Bible, that tells about Christ coming to Earth. It is pretty central to the belief system, and an important thing to do if you are serious about joining.I agree, read the book first, and talk to as many people as you can (on both sides). MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING YOURSELF IN TO! Conversion is a very big move that will be very difficult to back out of or renounce later in life. If you are not prepared to spend the majority of your life serving the church, following the teachings of church leaders or tithing at least 10% of your income, converting to Mormonism may be the wrong move.

Bicycles are easy to get from one place to another and are frequently used because they are far less expensive than cars. Mormon missionaries aren't always on bikes though: they switch off, kinda like taking turns, with some driving one of the avaiable cars and the others on bikes.
