Coke Goes Woke and Broke Brands go woke because they’re going broke
Frontpage ^ | Mar 2021 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 03/03/2021 5:10:13 AM PST by xzins

“Get woke, go broke”, is a conservative meme about the cost of political correctness that has it the wrong way around. Brands don’t go broke because they get woke, they go woke because they’re going broke, and don’t know how to stop the slow but steady collapse of their business.

Diversity killed Intel.
All the Heavy Lifters left.
Maybe Pat Gelsinger can turn it around but there are LOTS of players in key locations who are going to fight Pat.

Then you’ve got them skinny white girls fawning all over the State Farm guy; giving him gifts that come from their employers.

No; they do NOT ‘make’ water.

They merely fiddle with it a bit, package it, then sell it back to us.

So did Ret. SCPO Hubby, because I had a fit. I refuse to pay the OUTRAGEOUS COST OF GILLETE BLADES. Women's razors are poorer quality, very poor shaving quality. Seniors have limited budgets. Best shave was dad's old single blade screw up razor. Mom bought us girls 1 just like his, he'd not let us use his.

Add to that any white, presumably heterosexual males are often portrayed as either bad guys or buffoons.

Hollywood's effort to portray conservatives as buffoons and a-holes goes back to "All in the Family," which started abo0ut 50 years ago.

Coke is poison. I probably have not bought it for three decades except to clean the toilet bowl.

“I am so tired of TV commercials that show gay and interracial couples in numbers that are way out of sync with
reality. Yes, I realize both exist, but not to the extent ads are trying to convey. They’re doing the same thing with TV shows. It seems you can’t have a new show without an interracial or gay couple. If they want to show such couples, at lest do it in a proportion that reflects their actual numbers in society.”

I’m with you. Even if I find a show that is mildly entertaining the commercials are repulsive. There is a commercial running for an AIDS drug. Guess what you see through the whole commercial? I have stopped watching shows before because I couldn’t handle the commercials. I’ve just about quit watching TV. I have nothing against interracial couples, I have “dated” just about every race there is, and I don’t care if someone is homosexual, but what you see in the media reeks of brainwashing and I’m not participating.

I agree. I started watching Ozark, as I’m an auditor and the subject matter is money laundering, so many of my colleagues have been talking about it as a learning opportunity. It’s all I can do to get through the damned show with all the male on male homosexuality, and it’s just gross and over the top.

Doesn’t buying Mexican Coke still send money to Coca-Cola corp.

Coke’s not going broke. Sure soda sales might be down. But they diversified their holdings a long time ago. They own a huge chunk of the non-alcoholic beverage industry. Dasani, Smart Water, Minute Maid, Simply. They’re fine.

I've decided I'm too white for their products. I wouldn't want them to be accused of racism or anything. So I'll let minorities have my fair share of Coke products.

I'm working on cutting down on caffeine anyway - less coffee, less diet soda. More plain water.

Bush turned the other cheek for eight years. It’s part of why many liked Trump, didn’t have a problem with his Tweets. While the excellent policy was great, we didn’t mind having someone who would punch back.

That's a major reason I love President Trump. He fights back and never apologizes when some journalist catches him in a "gotcha" incident. Not like that Oklahoma State football coach mentioned by Trump in his CPAC speech who was photographed wearing a One America News T-shirt while he was out fishing and responded by groveling, apologizing for committing an act of "racism," and promising to support BLM.

Excellent article:

Explains why companies go woke and how that just delays their falling off a cliff.

Our task with these companies is much simpler. We just stop buying/using their Woke products.
