A North Carolina county is banning Coca-Cola vending machines in public office buildings under its purview as a response to corporate left-wing activism.
The commissioner leading the effort acknowledged that “Yes, we are trying to cancel Coca-Cola. To use their tactics against them.”
Boycotts traditionally have been part of the progressive toolbox, but conservatives are increasingly receptive to adopting a similar technique to send a message to virtue-signaling corporations and their politics-pushing executives.

I will miss it as a toilet cleaner, nothing works quite as well.
Heck yes!
Whoopee!!
Defund the Left
Dad says brake fluid works just as well esp. if a lot of rust in the bowl; makes you wonder what’s in Coke.
Good! I quit buying Coke!
Just pointing this out. Yes, this will affect local sales of Coke products, but the impact will be immeasurable to Coke’s sales. The real impact will be on whoever bought, maintains and services those machines and the impact there may be enough to drive that small vendor into bankruptcy. Impact on Coke...irrelevant. Impact on some poor vendor who may have his life’s savings invested in those machines...potentially devastating.
Is RC Cola woke? Never saw an RC Cola Machine though.
I quit drinking woka-cola a long time ago, it isn’t good for your health anyway. I don’t buy their products in any way now. Easy to avoid them.
carbonated sugar water
better off without it
And if the poor vendor is a thinking man, he'll adapt. This frees up his inventory to be placed in other, potentially more lucrative spots. It will either be an obstacle for him as a small business owner, or an opportunity. The ones who see the opportunity and go after it are generally the ones that survive, and rightfully so.
Coke products have been removed from my home as well...I think coke ceo said a few right wingers won’t affect their bottom line or something to that effect...maybe not but I feel better pushing back against this cultural insanity...
Makes you wonder what it does to your insides - that is, if you're brave enough to drink it.
Tried it once at a picnic, never went back to it again. Only sugary drink I like is root beer and not too much of that.
GOOD! Double good, and super double triple good! Wish more conservative ve use would follow suit, and show the cancellers that two can play the game!
What, that vendor cannot switch to Pepsi, RC Cola, some other generic cola brand? Nope, not buying your argument (or Coke).
Miracle oil I think is the name works good too and smells good too.
Coke is racist against whites. They need banned in every location.
Good point.
Nothing really. Our bodies are really robust. Yeah, coke can ‘melt’ rust, but thankfully our Innards don’t rust. People have drunk the stuff all their lives and been fine, others though will develop things like diabetes and should avoid it of course (there’s even doubt about that I guess), but everything. In moderation. The body is a system.
