Coke Changes Their Tune After Intense Backlash
Wayne Dupree Media ^ | April 14 , 2021 | Missy Crane

Posted on 04/14/2021 3:51:53 PM PDT by TrueMIGirl77

Coke got woke, and now they’re gonna go broke.

I don’t know why these companies literally can’t stop themselves from jumping into social and political issues. It’s like, you make fizzy sugar water, shut up.

But much like sports and Hollywood, these progressive corporate commies just can’t stop themselves from giving their unsolicited two cents.

Everyone’s a friggen activist nowadays.

And it’s not like going “woke” is this super-profitable gig for most companies and sports franchises.  Hollywood is quite literally circling the drain as we speak – there are more people in my living room right now than actual viewers who watch their narcissistic awards shows, and the ratings for sports are on their second flush as well.

So, getting all SJW and political isn’t a smart gig when the vast majority of the country is sitting back looking at this circus unfold and thinking everyone involved has some type of personality disorder or emotional imbalance.

Even so, companies like Coke and Apple, and about a bazillion others, decided to chime in on the new voter integrity laws in Georgia…A bunch of soft drink executives, who didn’t read the bill, hop on the wave of outrage in order to score some quick progressive brownie points, not realizing the wave won’t last – it’s gonna hit the shore and crash within days, and they’ll be left standing there with a brand that’s destroyed and customers who are pissed.

Buy one of these sparkling waters, like Waterloo or Polar.

Then, add a touch of pure cherry, pomegranate, or cranberry juice.

Coke and Pepsi are like battery acid in your gut. Both are used to clean toilets.

Drop the fast food as well.

Any hint of healthy. . .those foods are off the menu. Lines of cars (burning gas) just to order junk food. McDonalds for a while was pushing its sweet rolls, etc.on their marquee's . . .and they aren't cheap.

Yeah … I'd like to say I'm cutting out Woke-Coke except I rarely ever drank Coke. Pepsi was always my preferred beverage … the other Canada Dry ginger ale.

Water give me water or give me death!

Everything else if useless fluff.

Sodium benzoate, phosphoric acid, caramel coloring, fructose, caffeine, essence of Hunter Biden, Ok, that last one was made up, but you get the point.

Occasional is fine, but there are a lot of daily fast food, soda, and beer drinkers.

I remember 6-1/2 oz cokes. Must have been great when there was cocaine in it.

My grandmother-may God rest her soul-always referred to any soda as ‘dope.’ I still recall her asking “You kids want a dope?” She was born in 1895 so she knew what she was talking about.

PepsiCo?! You know zip about PepsiCo. I worked for those progressive globalist bastards for 30 years. PepsiCo’s whacked ultra liberal CEO at the time, Indra Nooyi, was set to be Hitlery’s treasury secretary. PepsiCo was woke decades before it was cool. Coke can continue this crap for years before they catch up to PepsiCo. Don’t buy either.

Social Justice Warriors first infiltrate and establish themselves in Human Resources.

Very true. I experienced this in 2014 when worked for a good size company that was acquired by a large corporation.

I know people that have a 12 pack an evening.
A decent IPA at that.

Thank you. I should check and see if they have it online. I used to like it when I was growing up.

Woka-Cola channels Gillette.

Won’t end well for them.

In both cases they are easy targets because their are so many good alternatives.

In the case of Woka-Cola one option is to give up soda all together.

I’ve made it a hobby to make darn sure these misfits who own these leftist, Communist supporting corporations, get little or no money from me.
