Big Soda
Big Soda is a term used by the media,[1] various activist groups,[2] and CrossFit to describe the soft drink industry as a collective entity. The term connotes the business and lobbying power of soft drink companies who, like Big Oil and Big Tobacco, would use that power to influence politicians and voters.[3]
Big Soda usually refers to the giants of the soft drink industry, The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, and to a lesser extent, the Dr Pepper Snapple Group.[4]
