Siberian ‘Ivan Tea’ is better than the additive-laden soda, the Russian president added
Russian President Vladimir Putin has derided Coca-Cola and suggested that ‘Ivan Tea’ – a medicinal brew made from Siberian fireweed – is a more “useful” refreshment. Coca-Cola pulled out of the Russian market in June over Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine.
Participating in the ‘Strong Ideas for New Times’ forum in Moscow on Wednesday, Putin was approached by Alexander Khlynov from the Union of Ivan Tea Producers, who proposed the government help boost production of the traditional Russian drink.

>>Coca-Cola is ‘all chemicals’ – Putin
This time I don’t think he is wrong.
And Putin says this as an expert in chemicals.
He’s not wrong. Quitting drinking cokes is the best health decision I ever made. But reminds me of the movie One, Two, Three. Where’s Cagney when you need him!?
He’s right. It’s primarily Dihydrogen Monoxide.
Well I do love Classic Coke
And Vanilla Coke
As is everything even Ivan Tea!
Coke didn’t close operations in Hitlers Germany, they still sell in China and Saudi Arabia and Australia too.
Sounds like sour grapes.
That Coca Cola (no longer widely available) is probably no good - you peons will be better off with tea made from weeds, and you will like it!
I’m all chemicals too.
Yep - 90 percent according to Coke in in 2008
I asked if by volume, they weren’t sure
Same here. I know it’s full of chemicals. and damn tasty chemicals they are..
Putin is ‘all chemicals’ – Coca-Cola
Both statements are correct.
And both are equally stupid.
Cool Cola (Coke), Street (Sprite) and Fancy (Fanta) are now sold everywhere in Russian stores.
Russians are too white to drink Coke products anyway, according to Coke.
In school the teacher would dissolve nails in Coke, kind of ,LOL
>>Same here. I know it’s full of chemicals. and damn tasty chemicals they are..
As long as you are making an informed decision, so be it. “My body my choice” (except for vaccines)
👍👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣
We’ll go to In and Out one of these days for a Coke and a burger 🍔
😜😜😜
Putin says, “Coca Cola is all chemicals.”
