Perfect.
Anyone trying to make Coke ineligible under SNAP will be called a racist now.

Coke protected billions in US sales with that ad. Pony up taxpayers!

I just sent them an email saying I will not buy coca cola again. I don’t drink soda but I bought it for my grown daughter. She will now drink Pepsi.

I can't ever decide whether to buy Coke or Pepsi on the rare occasions that I buy soda. If the conservatives are going to boycott Coke then I can skip the decision making and just buy Coke. This is good because I hate making decisions.

in other countries.
From what I understand Pepsi has often been a progressive company - among the first to recognize gay partnerships etc.

I should stop drinking that crap anyway.

.... if people go to the trouble of taunting others for grammatical errors, they should be exceptionally careful to make none.

"RightwingerS......fillS Coke's Facebook page..?

Only one of the capital S endings can be correct.

Oh and the possessive its should be used in the last one too (at least that's not teasing folks for poor grammar though).

I don't THINK I have made any errors in this post, but if I have be sure to note I'm simply expressing the need for proofreading, not taunting those who do so poorly or not at all.

The Cokes in the sturdy little bottles cost 6 cents in the machine. Don't drink much soda, but it's always Coke for me.

The people at this multi-billion dollar, international company are terrified of a few racist Americans not buying their products.


The only thing Coke has to be concerned about that could really affect revenue is people becoming more health conscious and diminishing it eliminating the consumption of soda. Of course, they will always have bottled water, sports drinks and their privatized water sources to profit.
