Rasmussen has a poll released today highlighting the corporate risks involved in entering politics. Coca-Cola now discovering the cost of corporate wokeism as 37% of respondents say they are buying less product during boycott.
Thirty-three percent (33%) of Black adults say they are less likely to buy Coca-Cola because of the company’s involvement in the Georgia election law controversy, as are 35% of White adults and 44% of other non-white adults. As noted by the National Pulse:
[…] Respondents were asked several questions, including, “Is it a good idea or a bad idea for corporations to become involved in political controversies?”
Overall, 62 percent of respondents said that it was a “bad idea,” with only 20 percent saying it was a “good idea,” and 17 percent saying they were “Not sure.” When asked if they had ever boycotted a company over “political issues,” 52 percent of those polled said “No,” while 41 percent replied “Yes.”
The third and last question on the survey asked: “After the Georgia legislature enacted a new election law requiring voter ID, Coca-Cola was one of the companies that publicly condemned the law. Does that make you more or less likely to purchase Coca-Cola products?”
Over a third of the respondents – 37 percent – said that they were “Less likely” to purchase Coca-Cola products due to the company’s interference. (more)
Perhaps one of the more telling statistics is that 45% of those aged 40 to 64 are boycotting Coke’s corporate wokeism. This demographic is a key group with the majority of consumer spending power during the peak of their income earning. Losing 45% of the U.S. market audience is a massive hit, even for a global (multinational) corporation.

Haha!
I will never by Woke a Cola again. Dead to me.
“Coke is crap , loaded with sugar.”
Buy it in Mexico or Europe and you get it loaded with sugar. Buy it in the US and it’s full of ‘corn syrup’, whatever chemical that is.
I only mix my bourbon with one Scotch and one beer....
we are not buying any Coca Cola products, that is for SURE!
I average about 1-2 bottles of pop per week. I haven’t bought any since Coke stepped in it, but I believe I have a 6 pack in my garage. From now on I’m not buying any coke. I’ll get Mt. Dew or A&W instead...and lately I’ve been craving orange pop.
Woca Cola won’t be residing my home any longer.
I like to have one once in a while. Oh well.
If you like flavored teas, try it with Snapple Peach tea. The lemon tea clashes, and the raspberry tea is too sweet, but my Woodford Reserve works well with Snapple peach tea.
I still sip Angel’s Envy straight up. That will never change.
I liked Coke. but I am done with the corporation and all its products.
Surely they are doing DOWN IN PROFITABILITY with many others doing what I am doing.
SO BE IT.
Have at ‘em: https://us.coca-cola.com/support/contact-us
I just explained I like their products, but not their meddling on what’s not their business - and will avoid theirs until they stop.
My husband regularly drank it. Now he switched to ginger beer.
Bourbon. It is the stuff of life.
Neat, or over an ice cube shaped like a skull (yeah, I’m *that* girl...) Bourbon is life sustaining.
You do realize that Samsung is a Korean company, built and owns factories in China where they make most of their products to ship to the U.S.A. Samsung employs many thousands of Chinese in red China. They also employ North Korean slave labor in China, although President Trump signed an executive order preventing shipment of goods to the U.S.A. made with North Korean labor in China, and Samsung had to switch to Chinese workers for the U.S.A. trade.
I quit.
OK then.
They still make good Americans!
Absolutely. I have nothing against Koreans. As a matter of fact, I enjoy watching many Korean video series on Netflix and YouTube; lots of entertaining shows although with English subtitles and Korean audio.
Just get the store generic brand.
Plus another. Not that I’ve purchased a coke since cheap Mr. Pibb came out in the 70s. Before that, we drank Dr. Pepper or RC but those were treats.
I was a life-long Coke drinker. Switched to their diet products many years ago. Their wokeness ended that. Doubt that I’ll ever buy their products again.
You know, I do understand the concept, but the one thing in my life I just can’t give up is Coke!!! Sorry.l
