MILWAUKEE (AP) — PepsiCo Inc. has removed the iPhone application that promised to help men “score” with different types of women about a week after it was criticized for stereotyping.

The soft drink and snack maker announced its decision on Thursday. The application, called “Amp up before you score” — used to promote its Amp energy drink — was unavailable for download on iTunes and removed from the brand’s site.
