PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi conceded Monday that cola has lost some of its "cool

Speaking at Beverage Digest's "Future Smarts" conference in New York City,
Nooyi said that craft soda, like PepsiCo's own Caleb's Kola, may be the key
to restoring some of cola's allure.
"I think there is actually a huge potential for craft," Nooyi said.

It's as if they were waiting, breathlessly. The moment Ted Cruz announced
his presidential campaign, the national media proclaimed their horror. He
was "brash," a "hardliner," an "uncompromising conservative," they warned.
ABC anchor David Muir announced his agenda was the usual No list: "Promising

b********f 发帖数: 605 | 31 如果是找dealer维修,各家都差不多,现在的行情是每小时人工$120-125美元。如果是
包在 warranty 里面的维修,反正是包的,不用担心费用。
我买的二手沃尔沃,开始找车行的时候是很多车行不敢碰,因为沃尔沃有自己的诊断系
统,软件是每年付费,很贵,小车行不玩。后来终于找到一家很好的中国人开的小车行
(用中国出的通杀汽车诊断软件)。维修的价格里零件会贵一些,比如说 strut kit,
一套前轮的我的Sienna是250美元,但是沃尔沃XC90的要330,但是人工是一样的。有
些东西是只能去 dealer 做的,比如说买备用车钥匙,只有 dealer 能直接和沃尔沃总
部联系设置安全芯片,就只能挨宰了。
我觉得关键是找个好车行,然后自己要买一套 VIDA DiCE,小问题就可以自己通过电脑
解决。沃尔沃的机械部分还是用料很足的,正常维修不会很多问题。 |
