#1 Coke abandoned "American Ideas" decades ago.

#2 Amazingly stupid. As if law firms weren’t already hiring as many qualified women and minorities as they can find. It may be time to invest in an Israeli-made SodaStream machine or switch to RC Cola or to any of those boutique soda companies that make real ginger ale and such.

Actually, we’d already cut back steeply on the family Coke consumption, as have many, or so I’ve read — too much caffeine doesn’t go well with lockdowns. It’s mostly plain club soda for us now, with the occasional kombucha as a treat; ginger-lemon is my favourite, with the added benefit of the health claims around fermented foods. ;-)

But really, if the issue is countering falling sales in the short term, I suppose Coke could do worse than to lock in the rabidly Progressive consumer dollar — look what that did for New York Times subscriptions during the Trump presidency. The problem will come later, when too many mass market companies are competing for the same limited pool of woke consumers that the previously woke foodie cachet brands had corralled.

Incidentally, the list of Coke company brands is here.

#4 No thanks Coke. I try to keep phosphoric acid out of my body in order to keep calcium in. I'd like to still have a skeleton when I am 60.

#6 I am WAS big on Diet Coke.
I guess its back to Diet RC's. I dumped Pepsi in the later 90's for donating $$ Millions to Handgun Control Inc. & Plan Parenthood. My purchases will NOT fund such ideas and causes.

So in those immortal words of "The Legend of 1900" "F--K WOKE, F--K Coke."

#7 When a Jury of their peers finds them guilty, that is applied justice and NOT based on Race, Creed or Color.

When it isn't, we have multiple layers of Appeal and Civil Lawsuits to correct it.

So just to Panic a bunch of WOKE supporters with Logic, I ask the following question:

If a majority of major US cities are Liberal/Minority Controlled and Run. An the jury selection pool is representative of the voters that elected those Liberal/Minority Leaders?

Then why is Social Justice needed? Isn't a JURY OF THEIR PEERS finding the accused Socially Responsible for the crimes?

#8 What goes up will come down, usually from rot from within.

#9 Drink Pepsi!

Pepsi supported the Arab boycott of Israel. Coke did not. But it’s a new generation making different calculations, clearly.

#10 They don't know it yet, but a whole bunch of rookie lawyers at big firms are about to start identifying as members of the opposite sex.

#11 about to start identifying as members of the opposite sex.

Is it sad that I foresee a brand new category of s3xual perversion in the next Psychiatric Handbook? Secretly dressing as their natural born s3x in the bedroom...

#12 If you're thirsty, drink water. Coke's primary ingredient is sugar and it's bad for you. If you consider how many people die from obesity, heart disease and diabetes you might even wonder why it's legal.

#13 Still remember my dark-ages High School class where the teacher put a 10P nail into a glass of Coke.

The nail was dissolved in less than a day.

Never drank the product after that.
