Coca-Cola announced Tuesday that it is suspending business in Russia.

The Atlanta-based company had faced backlash for not pulling out of Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.

It’s also great for cleaning corroded battery terminals. That’s why I don’t drink it.

...”but didn’t want to do anything about it until the pressure got too hot on us as we were one of the last companies to pull out”

I hope that they realize that Putin will declare sanctions on them and seize their assets.

This behavior is stupid and has a different end game on the psychology of the masses. Be careful what you wish for. Coke Cola and Hershey bars have done more positive diplomacy with problem states than our own state department diplomats. Cisco and cooking oils as well. 5 gallons of cooking oil can make you the idol of a small town in some places.

Yes, do it, but how does that hurt Putin’s aggressive warmongering?

If Coca-cola truly wants to punish Russia they'll sell only New Coke in Russia.

The Coke “secret formula” isn’t that hard to duplicate.

Agree, it’s all about the marketing.
Same reason tobacco companies spent billions on advertising in auto racing...billions of third world serfs yearning to smoke Marlboros...

More virtue signaling. I won’t drink Coke because they supported bLM. It is also easy for me to not drink Coke because I rarely have a soft drink. In fact, I just made a big pitcher of sweet tea. That will hold me for a week along with water, coffee and bourbon.
