"Bold decisions" are certainly the buzzword in today's economic scenario.
Pepsi's effort to get into the fruit drinks (Which you say to be health drinks) segement is a good step, but I seriously doubt their ability to take on already established competitors like Coke and Red Bull.
.. Pepsi, the best.
