I used to drink Diet Coke and Dasani.

No more.

That knocked $20 a month off their revenues.

I notice at my local Whalemart there is a huge display of Croak-a-Cola products just as you enter the store.

Maybe sales are way down.

#2 pic. Not to be creepy but the young lady is a spitting image of my mother, judging from a couple of old pictures my father took of her at Jacksonville Beach, just before they got married. Uncanny.

I just returned from a two week road trip and I can report I did my part to not purchase any Coke products.

At fast food restaurants I checked their drink machines before ordering a burger and if the place had coke machines, I simply ordered a glass of water.

Went to store brands after the latest Coke stupidity - about the same taste, costs way less, and no bitter woke aftertaste. Didn’t think any company could outdo shooting itself in a foot with “New Coke” - but they managed to.

Actually, it should be telling you who is in charge.

These guys don’t do whatever they want, anymore than you do.

Thanks for that handy chart. I’ve been doing everything possible to avoid Coke products. Some I’ve never used, and won’t. Others I didn’t know were Coke products so now I can avoid them.

Great job rov. Hard to end ingrained habits. You must be very motivated to stay consistent the way you have.

I haven’t bought a Coke since their opposition to Georgia’s voting bill. I dont plan on purchasing Coke again. I don’t enrich traitor corporations.

Young mens’ minds (and souls) were under heavy assault at that time. Many fell.

Going on a date to the beach before getting married is "falling"?

I don’t drink soda, so I can’t boycott them. I wish all companies that trash Whitey a long spiral into bankruptcy.

Coke’s CEO is a Brit, not an American. What do you expect.

It used to be a Cuban American. From an anti-communist to a woke socialist, leadership at the company has changed.

...shooting itself in a foot with “New Coke”...

I worked for Pepsi at the time of the release of the "New Coke". My sales went off the charts as people spit the New Coke out and bought Pepsi!

Hoping, and pulling, for a repeat with the "New Woke"!

Wonder if Linda Lovelace will use the line: “Things go better with Woke”! (Look it up if you don’t remember)

Sod off. I have no idea what you are talking about, but I’ve seen enough of your posts this past year or so to know that you enjoy being rude for no logical reason.

The BP CEO, feeling 0bama’s “boot” on his corporation’s “neck”, was heard to say “I’d like to get my life back.” The die was cast, however. At least in his case. Wonders how many millions with which he sailed away from BP, where he sailed to, how much of a cramp was put in his style ultimately. He was probably no more blameworthy than anyone else in that whole sordid affair. Our Fearless Leader made it clear, though—he needed a scapegoat or sacrificial lamb. Out the poor fellow went.

At that time, with crude oil gushing uncontrolledly into the Gulf of Mexico, the corporation in question was being perceived by the American people as (or at least being portrayed to them as) unforgiveably, even criminally, uncaring.

0bama wasn’t necessarily interested in being part of the technical or engineering solution but did appear eager to be seen as a protector or savior of Mother Earth. Most people probably approved of the things 0bama said and did at the time. But the boot/neck image or metaphor (analogy) he came up with and tossed out there was a bit of a shock. It probably told us more about what made him tick, more about his overall bent toward inhuman cruelty and tyrrany, than about what other people, at the time not yet identified, deserved or did not deserve.

This is admittedly not a perfect hisorical analogue to Coke’s current misbehavior. Not sure, but beginning to think Coke’s cooperation with the heart of darkness is more thoroughgoing than was BP’s. Not that the American President will leap so readily this time, or even at all, to the victim’s defense.

Sometimes the victim needs to lead the charge in its own defense.
