Wish I bought coke so I could ban it from this house. I'm sure there are other products Coca-Cola produces that I can ban.

I never drank that carbonated pisswater or any Pepsi crap, either. Yes to some cream soda in the 50s/60s, but not since.

[Batman11]

I can’t remember the last time I drank that crap. Everyone who does drink it should stop. It’s bad for you anyway.

I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

If I was a director of a multi-national corporation, I wouldn’t have been stupid enough to get the company to sponsor any kind of political cause. Cancer and children’s charities etc yes, but since when has it ever been a good idea for a company in the business of selling consumable products to alienate potential customers by involving themselves in political causes?
If I was a major shareholder, I’d want the higher-up responsible for this to be fired for their lack of judgement...

Anybody got a good substitute for the Coke in a Rum & Coke?

Maybe I’ll shift the Capt. Morgan and Mountain Dew.

Wait, isn’t the Dew owned by Coke?

This could put a real crimp in my drinking but principle first.

Tell Coca-Cola what they can do with their over-priced sugar water.

No problem here..I drink very little soft drinks I love Iced Tea above all those cola's and coke has never been one of my favorites..If I do drink a cola it will be R.C.or Big Red..

I will make sure my mailing list gets this article and do hope the rest of you do the same..As for Coke and all of its products goes feed the thugs because I will stay on the side of justice and protect my own life before I ever buy another product from you..

As for as me fighting a thug back or shooting I will shoot since I am not a strong person..So I warn you thugs of America do not try anything with me or my family if you don't want to be dead..

Would one of you knowledgeable FReepers mind explaining precisely what the “Stand Your Ground” laws are? What states have such laws? What untruths are being reported about them?

I am awaiting an interview with the sheriff for CCW permit.

[onedoug]

Stand Your Ground. Don’t buy Coke.

[jazzlite]

We do buy coke and we buy a lot of it..NO MORE..We will switch to another company. These companies are making a big mistake to politicize their products..People out here buy those products and people have different views and opinions. Sounds like Coke might have hired a politically correct Marketing Manager. Big mistake, Coke.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Between the two major colas I prefer Coke. I don’t drink it very often, so it’ll be easy to give up.

[longtermmemmory]

This can be turned in our favor.

make coke get out the left wing social issues.

Then again, now all coke drivers are robbery targets.

(is that the new logo?)

Goes to show you the level of intelligence exhibited by company leaders. They may think “Stand Your Ground” is the issue in the Trayvon death. This is not the case. It has been legal for years to defend yourself in a case where someone is trying to kill you. That defense is up the killing the perp.
