Here’s a story the liberal media won’t cover: Leftist soda giant Coca-Cola seems to have made it clear where its political loyalties lie for the 2024 election, and it may have violated federal election law in the process.
When MRC researchers attempted to customize a “Personalized 12 fl oz. Can of Coca-Cola” on the company’s website at 2:04 p.m. on Sept. 25, the phrase “President Harris” was permitted as an acceptable prompt for a can. However, when MRC researchers entered “President Trump,” the company auto-denied the request and left an eye-opening message: “Looks like the name you requested is not approved. Names and phrases may not be approved if they are trademarked, political in nature, names of countries, celebrities, religious figures, as well as anything that could be considered offensive for other reasons.” Apparently “President Harris” didn’t fall into any of these categories.
Is that right, Coca-Cola? Is “President Harris” not considered “political in nature” by the Coca-Cola website algorithm as opposed to “President Trump,” or is Coke just preventing Trump because he’s a celebrity and a politician, which would be convenient if the company was trying to give one campaign a boost before the November elections?

why would this administration investigate coke when they have already proven they don’t investigate coke claims?
[[: “Looks like the name you requested is not approved. “]]
Response “looks like you beverage is no longer approved in our household. Well done ya cucks!”
Maybe you could personalize a Coke can with “Hunter Biden”....
The reason is probably TDS, but Coke could say the Dem message was approved because, at this present time, there is no such person as “President Harris”, nor has there ever been one. So it’s a Yes&No situation.
can you put a picture of dylan on a can of coke?
that would be perfect
Coke sucks. They used to be my soft drink of choice until they went full commie many moons ago. I dropped them like an old dog turd and never went back. Don’t intend to.
Coca Cola, Gillette, Delta Airlines, T-Mobile, Nike, and Target embrace the WOKE agenda, because they believe they’re bullet-proof from blowback.
They’re not.
Coke Lite
We don’t drink coke around here and haven’t for some time: we’re way too white.
I have not had a Coke in 4 years since their last fiasco in Georgia where they were insinuating Trump and the Republicans were trying to restrict Black voting. Pepsi for me. Hopefully, this newest stunt will put them on the Bud Light express train to retail sales hell
Haha.
The proper test would be to compare with “President Biden”. If that is blocked then they are blocking actual presidents.
I guess no more Fresca for me they produce many waters too. I’ll have to do research again.
To answer the question asked by the headline, yes, they will ignore it. Obviously.
You’d think the algorithm would pick that up as “Vice President Harris” would fit the same criteria….
If Trump gets elected I hope everyone rubs this in Coke’s face.
Stopped buying coke for the same reason. It’s junk anyway.
Coke recipe is a company secret, never protected by patent or copyright.
One could sue Coke for something (say that the product is carcinogenic?), and force them to disclose the recipe.
That would punish them pretty well!
