Who owns coke and is hoping for a run on coke?

One more good reason not to consume soft drinks.

Diet Coke is literal poison, and I wish President Trump would stop drinking them.

This is a great example of why the supply chain fears may be overblown.

No good company is totally dependent upon one supplier or one source. Supply chains can be re-routed, substitute ingredients or parts can be sourced, or we will just make it here.

Remember saccharin? That wonderful sugar substitute in diet sodas that "caused cancer" if you drank 200 cans of soda a day? Well, it's still around...so get ready folks...say goodbye to Diet Coke but hello to your new old friend....

But the good news is, the company has started its contingency supply plans to cover the short-term impact.

Brings up a good point though...good companies have a back up plan for critical parts.

I am OK with a diet Coke shortage as I do not drink any diet sodas whatsoever.

When they start messing with bacon, that’s when I get involved!

I’m in trouble if diet cokes are in short supply.

These diet sodas have always been ghastly. I was young when they first appeared on the shelves. Never was deluded enough to buy into any "health" benefits.

I've long considered that it is funnier than the Stooges to watch some morbidly obese broad drinking Diet Coke and justifying it to herself...

Should we be suing China for selling us harmful products, hurting American health? Seems fair considering that line worked with regards to tobacco that we used to promote and sell.

so.....Trump will lose the election thanks to all of those p*ssed-off Diet Coke drinkers who can’t get their fix.

Is THIS what you’re hanging your hopes on, Lamestream Media?

I’m a lot more worried about parts for our water treatment plants... where one part crashes the system.

To test the persistent rumors, many years ago, a group of scientists conducted tests on the spermicidal efficacy of various soft drinks. Typically not very effective, with the noted exception of diet coke, which utterly sterilized the test samples.

The scientists were unwilling to speculate as to why.

We need to put permanent tariffs on strategic products made in China.
