PepsiCo has a turnover of 50 billion, Coca Cola 45 billion!
I have no idea where your numbers come from, Wikipedia says almost USD 92 billion for Pepsi (2024) and almost USD 46 billion for Coca Cola (2023)

The difference between Bayern and their pursuers is such a boring topic.
We agree on that
Have you ever looked into what it looks like in other leagues?
What are the conditions there?
Ligue 1 has had two clubs, Lille and Monaco, that have won the championship in the last 10 years and that don’t even come close to PSG.
At that time, based purely on sales, Lille should have been in fifth place behind Bayer.
We also had with Leverkusen…
Italy has a club in Naples that has half the turnover of the northern clubs. Still won the championship twice.
So like Dortmund in 2011 and 2012…
The same spectacle actually in LaLiga. Atletico has 2 Bayern Munichs in the league. They still pick up titles regularly.
Atletico has won LaLiga twice in the last twenty years… even if the expression “regularly” is actually not wrong (because even once every 100 years is a regularity), the championship quota of the “2 Bayern Munichs” compared to other clubs there is not much different than that of one Bayern Munich to the other clubs in the Bundesliga.
However, when it comes to the excitement of the championship decision, there is a huge difference whether there are “2 Bayern Munichs” in a league (each of which rarely wins more than two championships in a row) or just one…
But for me the whining is more of a cheap excuse as to why we haven’t seen any other team other than Bayer in first place at the end of the season in recent years.
Dortmund, Leipzig and somehow also Bayer are far too unambitious and are resting in their comfort zone.
Sure, like two pages before: If the 300-500hp racing cars end up in the positions with absolutely no chance against the 1000hp racing car after 34 laps, this is due to the drivers’ unambitious comfort zone – and the statement that it is completely obvious and logically comprehensible is due to the clearly quantifiable double engine power (or twice the financial possibilities) instead of some trumped-up abstraction, is the cheap one Excuse and cry đ€Ș
But it shouldn’t matter to me now… Wrestling in the USA has impressively shown for decades that neither real sporting competition nor the resulting excitement is needed to be successful as a sport with the appropriate audience, as long as the narrative created by the industry and the media attached to it fits.
We simply ignore the fact that foreign marketing is stagnating and even domestic marketing is declining after adjusting for inflation – it’s all just unintentional whining anyway.
