Coca-Cola thought personalized bottles might bring some summer fun to its fans. Instead, it met the internet.
The company's make-your-own label promotion lets customers write short messages on custom Coke bottles. Although Coca-Cola tried to block some slurs and trademarks, social media users were quick to discover that the company's restrictions were hardly comprehensive — and in some cases blocked inoffensive terms.
For example, "Black Lives Matter," is blocked. But "White Lives Matter" isn't. Coke included a special rainbow label for pride month, but you can't write "Gay Pride" on the bottle. However, you can write "I hate gays." "Hitler" and "Nazi" are banned, but users can customize bottles with the phrases, "I am Hitler" or "I am a Nazi."
When the company's system blocks a word or phrase, a message pops up that reads: "Oops! Looks like the name you requested is not an approved one. Names may not be approved if they're potentially offensive to other people, trademarked, or celebrity names. We've worked hard to get this list right, but sometimes we mess up. If you think this is an error, please contact our Customer Care team. Otherwise, please try again, keep it fun and in the spirit of sharing!"
It's unclear if anyone actually purchased bottles with those custom labels and unlikely that any were produced, but Twitter users picked up on the apparent gaps in the restrictions and tweeted about it.

Sure sounds like the next Coke stockholder’s meeting is going to be quite a show.

Down the crap hola
By embracing the "woke" agenda, corporate profits will be up a gazillion percent, and the stock will have doubled. So a good meeting!
These corporations are drowning their financial bottom lines.
Woka-Cola is exhibit A.
This is hilarious.
Can I put something like “I’m Getting Less White Every Day” on mine?
Diet Woke.
Strong and smart corporations make products and proactively do not jump into political issues.
Weak and stupid companies believe like they have to take a side on political issues or some believe it will help their bottom line, but it almost never does.

Hahahaha
“New Coke” nearly sunk the company.
This time they may succeed.
COKE IS BACK IN MY GOOD GRACES!
LOL
How about “I am a commie”?
I’m sure that fits lots of “Americans” out there.
they are desperate to pump even more brown fructose water down the gullets of obese Americans.
What kind of person waste their time trying to put a sense of messages on bottles of Coke?
Several days ago I ran into an old friend who was in marketing at big Coke in Atlanta, at the North Avenue HQ. I told him I’d been thinking about calling him to see what he thought about what was going on. I found out he got out a couple years ago, and really thinks he got out at a good time. I agreed heartily!
LOL!
