I had to go look it up, it was in 2021, Coca Cola started screeching about Georgia’s election reforms. Trump called for people to boycott them, it worked. I guess my area is more pro-Trump than I realized because coke products sat while the HEB colas got bought up and this is still the case. Coke couldn’t even move their product with sales. Regardless, it’s still a good reminder that we don’t need their products.
Amen to that. 2021, I was still a complete brain-dead trying to move out of tyranny state and being told by my customer that tyranny wasn't everywhere and get out.
Their new custom website allows the use of "Harris 2024" but prohibits "Trump 2024" due to it being deemed "political in nature" or "offensive." They allowed all Babylonian gods but prohibit Jesus.
Well I personally tried this last night and no political name was allowed. I even tried George Washington, nope. First and last names, upper case lower case, nothing. I didn’t check any others false religious names as in I didn’t know of any. But yeah the Harris thing being allowed is false.
I haven't consumed Coca-Cola for 20 years, but I do consume Pepsi, but if Pepsi does the same I would stop consuming it and look for alternatives, although I am not a compulsive drinker of those drinks with a lot of sugar.
Tried the name Jesus Garcia and got the exception I’ve copied below. HOW STUPID OF THOSE DEMONS! One of those neat ideas they let a marketing genius run with…..won’t end well.
There’s an email below to appeal disallowed names. How long might it take us to make them sorry about this brazenly filtered system?
FROM COCA-COLA WEBSITE: Looks like the name you requested is not approved.

Stopped drinking their trash when I first started body building. Absolute fucking trash. Like it's hand crafted to make a person, fat, diabetic, prone to heartburn/acid reflux, and just generally unwell. I'd say drop that shit like a bad habit but thats too good for it.
I used to buy Coke at the store, but quit many years ago. In recent years, the only time I would have a Coke was at a restaurant, but most restaurants only serve Pepsi (so I stuck with water :) ). Looks like I won't be having Coke anywhere anymore. Too bad because they always seemed like the "Great American Corporation" with a very long history.
Haven't touched Coke products since they told their employees to be less white.
Amen. Bud Light the damn thing.
I haven't since I found out coke could clean the oil stain in your driveway and the ring around the toilet.
Works well for freeing up metal parts too lol
I
Can’t
Boycott
Any
Harder
Yep, haven't bought Coke, Nike, or Gillette for many years
what if I'm a little mexican boy named Jesus and want a novelty soda can?
Sniff. So sad they're being rayciss.
Howls. You come up with a good one.
I thought we did this a couple of years ago. At my local HEB store, the HEB brand sodas fly off of the shelf and the Coca Cola products sit.
I am not sure I was here. I only know about Bud Light.

Yeah, I’m very lucky, I live in pro Trump area.
Amen
They got hit with the "don't act white" plan also
Most likely.
Also, HEB's generic brand is really good ice cream
Yes! The Coconut Almond Chocolate chip and the Caramel Turtle Pecan are my 2 favorites!

Thank you. I will delete this.
Anything produced by big corporations is poison.
Yes. I am sure now.
I must have missed the Coca Cola thing as well? Im really running out of things i can drink thats not water. lol.
Ive been sober for 12 years and sometimes the carbonation / sugar REALLY hits "that spot" when cravings come around.
We switched to naturally flavored club soda (seltzer) and never looked back.
So damn refreshing
Pepsi
Honey and lemon if you can use it.
Mt Dew ftw.
I used to drink Fanta and Mt Dew also.
Thankfully, I have never consumed any of this poison except for Coke and that was decades ago.
Many decades ago for me.
I don't drink pure sugar water with a little flavoring. One 12oz Coke has 1/4 cup of sugar! I stick with water or Yingling!
Amen. You got it too.
Nope, don't drink any of them and will continue not to.
amen
BOYCOTT NOW!
For good reason, it's poison.
RC Cola has always been good.
Yes. Oh I remember that.
Back in the day. Double Cola was on tap too. Variety of Cola on the market then.
Good o' day
Easy b/c I rarely drink soda.
Me too
sorry
Schweppes? That is Pepsi in au
Interesting. Thanks.

I cut sugar and all that since college. Easy for me to Bud Light them.

Jesus doesn't want his name on poison.
Oh wow. Thanks for the info.

Inazuna Drop that shit into the 9th Layer.
It is pure poison but I see people buy it for their kids
LOL

don't drink that crap, it's actually poison. I found out about it in college and quit all sodas.
