Pepsi Cuts Some Prices As Much As 15% As K-Shaped Economy Squeezes Consumers Readers already know the K-shaped economy is not going anywhere, even as the Trump administration attempts to correct the imbalance ahead of the midterms. For the junk-food-hungry U.S. consumer, there was a small win on Tuesday morning.PepsiCo announced it will cut prices by 15% on snack brands like Lay's and Doritos to restore affordability and help revive sales."PepsiCo is taking a meaningful step to lower the price on many of our most loved snacks by up to nearly 15%.
