My local grocer had 12 packs of Coke on sale today for under $6, but I remember Coke told us to “be less white” so I walked on by and got the purple drank.

Coke went “woke”? I didn’t know that. I hardly ever drink soda, but every now and then on a hot summer day I’ll have a cold Coke or Pepsi (maybe with a bit of rum).

“I remember Coke told us to ‘be less white’”

Around 2016-17, the Salvation Army sent a memo to staff saying pretty much the same thing. That’s when I stopped ringing their bells and donating.

I think last time I bought a 12 pack of coke, it was $2.50. I find it hard to consider $6.00 a sale.
