Snack sales lift PepsiCo’s organic revenue up 2.4% in Q1
PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay North America unit delivered 3 percent organic revenue growth at $4.24 billion, attributed to such innovations as Cheetos Crunch Pop Mix and Doritos 3D Crunch. Friday, April 16, 2021 9:04 AM UTC
PepsiCo posted an organic revenue increase of 2.4 percent fuelled by strong snack sales due to consumer-centric innovations in snacks and its acquisition of South Africa’s Pioneer Foods and Chinese snack company Be & Cheery.
Organic revenue strips out the impact of foreign currency.
The pace is expected to pick in the second quarter with the accelerated return of the foodservice channel.

Fat Tony (Anthony Lawson Obi) has been working that sound for a while. The man behind Houston-centric releases such as
RABDARGAB (a tribute to an HISD reading program) and
MacGregor Park blends classic ’90s country, R&B, and rap to create a sound that has been described as a “one-man genre.” (His TikTok mixing Brooks & Dunn and Too $hort has gone viral.) Now mega brand Pepsi is taking notice of the phat and Fat musician as part of its The Taste of Your Texas road-trip campaign and mini documentary series. The tour, which highlights trailblazing Texans, stops by all major cities and centers on four stars. In Houston, Fat Tony releases an exclusive video (watch it here) for “Gambling Man (Mariachi Remix),” accompanied by a 12-piece mariachi ensemble.
