I used to buy a lot of diet caffeine free coke but quit after their wokeness became knows. Have started usin soda stream with their coke syrup. Not the same, but better than supporting a stupid woke company who apparently doesn’t give a crap about this country and how their wokeness is helping to tear it apart.
Pepsi is definitely woke and they have a product line to rival Coke.
Good. It’s off my list.
“...COCA COLA COMPANIES AND BRANDS...”
I believe FANTA originated as a COKE substitute in NAZI Germany when Adolph seized Cokes’ der Vaterland operations....
Coincidence? Huh? Is it? Is it?!
Yeah. It is.
Today’s Coke execs aren’t NAZI’s....just imbeciles taking advice from toddler PR tools. Plus, it’s stockholder money, screw’em.
It violates Warren Buffet’s “Rules of Investment”.
Stuff is good for cleaning rusty tools I’m told.
I think it’s because a case is over $10 in some places around here. Probably higher in others.
A generation ago Coca-Cola decided to redo their formula and issue New Coke and discontinue the formula that had made them famous. It was an utter failure. Consumers abandoned New Coke in droves. After a few months of market share collapse, the company reintroduced the old formula as Classic Coke. Some people said that New Coke was a marketing ploy all along. Who knows? Anyway, by 2002 New Coke was itself discontinued.
Consumer revolts happen one case at a time. Even if our abandoning Coke fails to get corporate to change its hateful ways, at least each of us who is giving it up can take some satisfaction in not giving that evil corporation our continued financial support. The point about New Coke is that these individual decisions can add up.
I don’t buy coca cola. If it had coca in it I might. My wife likes Fresca so I am stuck there. But coke has never been a thing for me. Since I haven’t been eating at McDonalds I don’t have to worry about having coke products with my happy meal. Also remember that Minute Maid is a coke product.
Yes.
Don’t forget that they use phosphoric acid to keep the high fructose corn syrup in suspension since they don’t use cane sugar and citric acid like they do in Mexican Coke. High fructose corn syrup syrup is suspected of negative effects and phosphoric acid is implicated in osteoporosis.
I gave up fizzy sugar water for the most part years ago. It’s a fairly rare indulgence for me. I just don’t see the point of schlepping hundreds of pounds of water from the store when I have a working tap and filter at home. If I want it flavored, I can brew tea or coffee. Not a good idea to piss off customers of a non-essential product with politics, either way. Just sell your product and shut up.
I know Crown Royal is. :)
Unfortunately no, The headline is not accurate and doesn't match the article.
The article says 1,000 American adults showing that 37 percent of Americans were "less likely" to purchase Coca-Cola products
There's a big difference in poll saying people are "less likely" to purchase Coca-Cola products vs 37% of Americans "are" Buying Less Coca-Cola.
What people say they are going to do vs what they end of actually doing are two different things. Especially if the poll has a loaded question.
Let's see a big drop in Coke's stock price before getting too happy.
You Gar on Tee it? Like a cheap car salesman? Or like this guy?

Think I’ll try Sams Club Cola
or to pay advertising to fund the LEFTIST media.
Could be that the poll question was phrased so as to let the respondent understand what Coke has done.
Something like, "In view of the public statements made by the CEO of Coca-Cola criticizing Georgia's new "Voter-Integrity Law," do you think that you will buy more or less Coke in the future?"
Regards,
What about buying NO Coke A Cola?
From my unscientific observations at the local grocery store, I haven’t see as much Coke in people’s carts. Also, the Coke displays don’t seem to be stocked as high as before.
Someone locally has superposed a bold “J” over the “C” all over town. Maybe more than someone.......LOL
