EXXON MOBILINTEREST
EXXON MOBIL was interesting to me because my grandma gave me 3 shares of stock when I
was little and they keep splitting which gives me
twice the amount of stocks each time they
split.
EXXON MOBILFREEDOM
EXXON MOBIL represents freedom to me because I do not
believe a company like this could have become so large except that it is in a free society like
America.

Children’s Museum of Houston and cultural
matching gifts to libraries, museums and historical preservation

PEPSIINTEREST
I love Pepsi and wouldn’t mind investing in a product
that I drink almost everyday. In fact, I can’t understand why anyone drinks that other brand.
Besides, Pepsi has Britney Spears as their promoter
now.
PEPSIRECOGNITION
I really like the way PEPSI appeals to the younger generation.
They feature the movies I like and have
a cool interactive website.
PEPSISERVICE
PEPSI lets you become an advisor to the
company. You log into their website and you
can “advise” them how to spend their money for the good of others.
