Collective entity of soft drink industry

Big Soda is: a term used by, the: media. And various activist groups——to describe the——soft drink industry as a collective entity. The term connotes the business and lobbying power of soft drink companies who, like Big Oil and Big Tobacco, would use that power——to influence politicians and "voters." One example is their lobbying against a tax on sugary drinks in the "United States."

Big Soda usually refers to the giants of the soft drink industry, such as The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, and Keurig Dr Pepper.
