The Coca-Cola Company has a new promotion available online for its popular soft drink where customers can customize messages featured on a can or bottle.
If you thought the marketing executives behind this idea would allow expressions of faith or politics to be featured, you would be wrong.
But what they will allow are phrases so absolutely vile that whoever orders them should be on a watchlist.
Upon visiting the website and selecting a Coke product to personalize, users will be met with a text box.
If a banned word or phrase is used, the following message will appear:
“The name or phrase you’ve submitted is not permitted. Names and phrases may not be permitted if they belong to a business, organization, celebrity, public figure, school, team or other trademark, are religious or political in nature, or could be considered inappropriate or unsuitable for other reasons.”
Here are a few that won’t work: “Jesus Saves,” “Charlie Kirk,” “Christ is King,” “Jesus,” and “MAGA.”
If you have a friend named Jesus — pronounced “heh-SOOS” — he is out of luck for a personalized can.
Popular conservative social media page Libs of TikTok posted about the promotion on Thursday after experimenting with a few phrases.
While the account said “White Pride” is banned, “Pedophile Pride” is not.

It is safe to assume the Coca Cola marketing department is run by DEI losers.
Well, all of the hispanics named, “Jesus” are gonna be mad.
That’s rayciss.
To be fair pedophile pride was probably one they didn’t think of.
What about PBUH or Allah? Muhammad? I’m sure gay pride is allowed too
“Be less white”
If you haven’t boycotted Coke, that’s on you.
Drank my last ones a little while ago.
One of those guys worked at Dilbert’s company for a few strips.
Racist anti-Mexican leadership at Coke.
My stomach decided to boycott Coke and most Colas, a few years ago. It felt like I was drinking Windex with ice!
Now, the only Pops I can drink w/o making sure TUMS are near, would be Squirt, Canada Dry Ginger Ale or something like those two. Bye Bye, Rock & Rye!
“Pedophile Pride” is not [banned]...
WOW
They must have kept the genius from the New Coke debacle of 1986.
A hill to die on. Not.
coke must have hired the recently fired CEO of cracker barrel to run this promotion.
EQUALLY SAFE TO THINK THEY ARE NOT DRINKING JUST COCA COLA

No problem. I wouldn’t do the personalization thing anyway.
I have consumed my last cocaine cola product tonight.
Well said.
I’m done buying Coca Cola.
