Get Woke, Go Broke…
Keep up the boycott of all Coca-Cola products.
Obviously the massive multinational corporation cannot admit they made a mistake lest they get attacked by the extremists on the far-left; however, all of Coca-Cola’s recent moves since they stupidly put their company into the toxic political mess surrounding election reform legislation -particularly in GA- indicates the company is experiencing destabilizing impacts from the MAGA boycott. DO NOT RELENT !
(Bloomberg Legal) The Coca-Cola Co. announced Wednesday that it is moving legal chief Bradley Gayton to a “strategic consultant” role less than a year after he joined the company and promoting in-house lawyer Monica Howard Douglas to general counsel.
Gayton, who joined Coca-Cola on Sept. 1 and recently announced ambitious new diversity requirements for the company’s outside lawyers, will immediately become a strategic consultant to Coca-Cola chairman and CEO James Quincey.
[…] Coca-Cola spokesman Scott Leith, when asked about the impetus for its general counsel change or whether Gayton’s strategic consulting role is a permanent or temporary position, said the company would have no additional comment. (read more)
It is almost impossible to boycott all of the multinational corporations that are attempting to influence U.S. politics. However, if we focus like a laser on two or three: Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola and Major League Baseball, we can send a massive message that will hit the boardrooms of all others.
Take Coke down a few pegs…. and the rest will fall in line.
Drinking Coke is racist and xenophobic, and it is the official beverage of the KKK!
Did I get this right?
That’s the way it looks. I haven’t watched any political sports in the last 3+ years.
Why would I drink political soda pop?
Things go bitter with Woke!
I am definitely gonna use that!
Clever!
Well I’ll be danged!
New World Order right there
~with a bit o caca cola promoting it
WHO knew (pun intended)
Biden’s great mentor, Robert KKK Bird, loved coke. It was his favorite drink.
Probably Gov. Northams’ fave soda , too.
How do you take down a giant?
By using a million plus MAGA slingshots.
Keep the slings loaded.
The power of MAGA boycott works. As more people get in the spirit of MAGA BOYCOTT the more threatening and more effective. Hopefully MAGA BOYCOTT becomes a managed organization. The key is to keep it a concentrated rifle target and not a scattered shot-gun.
Watch it get labeled “racist”
~ because of the “boy”;
not to mention ‘culturally incensitive’ ? !
I’m glad (Diet) Dr. Pepper is not a Coke product
I haven’t flown in years and professional sports are full of overpaid egos.
Keep up the boycott, we must make our voices heard!
Diet Dr.Pepper is owned by Pepsi.
I loved my diet pops but had to stop drinking them as the chemicals cause problems with my joints and gave me headaches.
Used to drink 2 litres a day, not good .
If you must drink them go for the clear stuff it easier on the kidneys.
The regular pop is better but only slightly, too much corn sweetener.
The Kosher pop from Atlanta has real sugar in it so it is a better trade off.
From what I remember in my chemistry class , corn sweeteners ( any with the ” ose ” endings ) are digested differently and deposited as fat, where as sugar/natural sweeteners are burned immediately by the body.
Yo, John. A couple of weeks ago I shifted off of multiple decades of diet soft drinks. I’ve almost completely substituted bottled water. And, guess what? I don’t miss the diet drinks one bit!
I’d been having increased stomach acidity, especially after meals. Now the excess acid is almost completely absent.
And that’s probably why America has gained so much weight. They have said the HFCS is just the same as sugar, but if what you say is true, then it certainly isn’t so.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is absolutely horrible for the body! They use it so much because it is CHEAPER than sugar! But it causes BELLY FAT! Belly fat causes INFLAMMATION! Inflammation causes DAMAGE from head to toe! Avoid it like the danger to health that it is!
Yes, Texas Rancher. It’s in pert near everythang!!!
Found that out about 30 yrs ago due to joint / muscle swelling /pain… related to corn consumption.
After I found out, it took a couple hours to shop for food; reading all the ingredients. phew!
It’s even in some drugs; like Walgreens’ ibuprophin (filler).
I don’t know if Sucralose (Splenda) is derived from corn. It is, however, created through a multi-process lab operation – sort of “franken-sugar.” No calories, but it can still increase insulin production, which not only can raise blood glucose, but also fat storage, and can be detrimental to the good gut bacteria! On top of that, when you then use actual sugar, you have to use a lot more to make it taste sweet enough.
High fructose corn syrup is just awful for the body! It causes belly fat, and belly fat actively causes inflammation all over the body!
Inflammation is A BIG DEAL!!! It is detrimental to the entire body from head to toe!
Uses the starch fraction of corn
No, sucralose is derived from Sucrose not Dextrose. Also, the bulk of studies on sucralose show no increase in insulin production or blood glucose.
Are you probably better of drinking water? Certainly. But we all need some variety in our diets. And for those trying to avoid sugar in their sweet drinks, sucralose is still the least bad of the artificial sweeteners.
Stevia?
Honey ?
I like Zevia, uses Stevia, no coloring, more natural than most, the Ginger Root Beer is my favorite.
I use a blend of xylitol and erythritol as my sweetener. They are sugar alcohols that do not spike insulin levels and they are approved for diabetics. Taste and measure like sugar with no after taste.
Dr. Pepper is part of the Dr. Pepper Snapple group and manufactured by Kuerig in the US. It is distributed based on bottling contracts so in some states it shows up in the Coca-Cola section and in some states in shows up in the Pepsi section
I wonder what color Monica is?
https://investors.coca-colacompany.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1021/monica-howard-douglas-elected-senior-vice-president-and
She’s also a Diversity hire.
You wonder? Sure, you do. It’s obvious. You think Woca-Cola is going to replace a black guy with someone white? It would never occur to them to so because where’s the wokeness in that? So they upped their SJW score and promoted a black female to take the black guy’s place. Don’t feel bad for the black guy, though. He got a $12 million package to become a consultant.
Plus, Coca-Cola is terrible for your health and pour fuel on the fire of America’s obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemic. Best confine its use to toilet bowl cleaning.
Car battery cleaner.
My dentist keeps telling me all soda, even diet, is bad for your teeth.
Its acidic properties eat tooth enamel along with the sugar combining with bacteria. Nasty
https://www.floridabluedental.com/members/dental-health-tips/how-soft-drinks-affect-your-teeth/
It wouldn’t be a problem if, after every time you drank a soda, you went and brushed your teeth and washed out your mouth with Listerine. But of course that is not how people actually live. People brush maybe once in the morning and possibly also once right before bed, so the sugar and acid from drinking a soda sit in your mouth for hours, destroying your tooth enamel.
Listerine has alcohol in it.
If curious:
High levels dry out the mouth’s soft tissue, and can cause burning sensations in teeth, gums and cheeks — this condition is called mucosal irritation. Also, the higher the level of alcohol in a rinse, the more sloughing that occurs. More sloughing brings about more food for bacteria, which increases bacteria levels, which increases the sulfur levels of bad breath. It also destroys any resin technology that’s been performed on the teeth, like bonding or veneers.

My dentist recommends Listerine with alcohol.
…and even with diet drinks…you never loose your weight…
Very true. I’ve reached the point in life where I can no longer count on tooth health, and have to work on them every day absolute without missing a day.
It will also clean motor oil off concrete reasonably well.
Wonderful to think about while downing one of them. Which I have not done in 15+ years.
The phosphoric acid is great for removing rust on tools and other stuff.
Does great on toilet rings!
It cleans that scum from older car windshields that get on them when it rains.
Please, for the love of whatever god(s) you claim to believe in, stop referring to people who are out of touch with reality as, “woke”.
It’s their own terminology. The point is to mock it by endless association with the consequences it produces.
Exactly! Hands off is the wrong approach here. Mock Woke so they open their eyes.
I never suggested being, “hands off”; mock the degenerate freak left by calling them what they are, not what they want to be called.
Ain’t woke –better???
I believe we have a misunderstanding then, not a disagreement, they call themselves woke, it’s their identity. We are enthusiastically mocking that very conceit.
I fully agree with not submitting to their abuse of language and endlessly shifting redefinition of language. In fact, in the spirit of mocking such, when expected to use non-standard pronouns, if I deign to modify reality in the least, I shall use Zit in all circumstances.
I can’t stand it because it is grammatically incorrect and sounds completely ignorant. “I’m woke.” instead of awake, and “He’s sleep” instead of asleep. Drives me nuts.
Proof of duh left. No?
hahahahaha
There are many alternatives for stuff made by coke. Just check the labels.
Just drink water!
Yeah, good luck with that. Just like stop jabbing yourself with an experimental vaccine.
Water… Yep!
Champaign
Some good red wine
Ice cold beer
Pineapple juice & Malibu rum –with a bit o ice
Good java
Green tea –or other varieties
Don’t drink much at all but love this combo.
“Pineapple juice & Malibu rum –with a bit o ice”
Yum.
Go woke…..and…..
We’ll make sure…….
that you go broke………!
Sundance is right [again].
Focusing on one product…rather than using a ‘scattergun‘ approach, is the most effective way to achieve our goal.
I’m also woke. No more Coke. And none of their other brands.
One of my current and most foolproof hedges against the multinationals is to buy soft lead, linotype, and tin. Lyman#2 and HiTek coating best describes that.
Getting back to food, Dollar General (and other discount store) food brands evade them a bit further if you look into the products and who makes them. SD knows what I’m getting at here because he discussed the producers and logistics of these products before.
SD’s computer area is fab !
Another way to hit Coca Cola is to tell the restaurant chains that carry Coke products that you’re boycotting Coke products and only order water, milk, etc.
Imagine the impact on Coca Cola if a restaurant chain like McDonald’s or Wendy’s switched to Pepsi products.
PepsiCo is no different they have just not spoken up yet.
When I go through the McDonalds drive through I tell them no drinks because we don’t drink Woka-Cola.
I literally just did the same at McDonalds, except I was ordering in the lobby within earshot of other customers. “No Coke thank you, boycotting it.”
I understand McD’s is a dreaded multinational, but worth the trip just to vocally indicate the Coke boycott. On the receipt you can get a web address for a survey and hit them again with same comment – NO COKE. As an extra incentive for all this effort, you can get a BOGO Big Mac or Egg McMuffin code after the survey!
This particular receipt has another feedback mechanism, a local franchisee I presume customer service specialist by phone or email ([email protected]). Have at it. 🙂
I suspect that the young lady behind the register has no idea what a boycott is, but by planting the seed, she may get curious if she hears it enough.
Happy Trails Treepers!
by just ordering water those businesses lose revenue as well, double whammy
Fast food makes their money on the soft drinks. The hamburger and fries get in, then the soft drink lets them make their buck. If I ever stop at these types of joints, I always NEVER order anything to drink. I always carry my filtered water with me.
I went to three restaurant chains that sell Coke products. At each one I told the waitress and cashier I refused to purchase any Coca Cola products. I asked when they will be providing an alternative beverage.
It’s exciting to see Coke being affected by us. Not a drinker of Coke, Minute Maid or Dasani, but hubby was using Power Ade until we found out it was a CC product.
Our local Publix is offering buy 2 get 2 free for Coke. I see a lot of similar Dasani deals. It appears we are making a dent, patriots.
I won’t take their products if they were free.
I would if free. Then pour them in the gutter in front of the store.
At least take them home and dump them in the toilet. Coke and other various products make an excellent cleaner.
They’d make fun target practice.
Another Treeper posted a couple of weeks ago that they buy Publix brand cola. We have tried their brand of diet cola. While it not Diet Coke, I can definitely get used to it!
You should ask Publix who makes their store brand of cola. You might be surprised. A lot of off label items are made by the same BIG producers, just change the label. Worth an inquiry
Publix here in Tucker, GA was also offering the 2 for 1 coke deals.
YTG has noticed something else, also. Diet Rite and RC were almost
sold out of the 2 litre bottles. And, (might not have noticed this before)
Publix was carrying 12 pack cans of RC. For less then Coke or Pepsi.
This is doubly encouraging. And, shows a silent protest is, indeed going
on. The younger hipsters and the college edumacated older schmucks
(Think women with gray helmet hair, skiiny fossilized shmuck husbands)
are lefties. We have a ton of them, and it’s absolute hell on earth comes your
way if you oppose the cretins.
Also, none of these affluent jerks would be caught dead in Kroger, because
they closed down the one on Memorial Drive south of us, and the clientele
has become much more “urban”.
So…. the signs out helmet hairs lawns say that the former Memorial Drive
shoppers “Lives Matter” . But they matter more if they don’t happen to
be shopping at the same grocery stores as the lefties.
So ……. the less affluent Tucker residents ( black and white) go Krogering.
The more well to do go to Publix. YTG goes Krogering when he’s watching
the $$$. I go to Publix if I’m in a rush, because it’s closer and quicker.
But the boycott is quietly and effectively affectiving Publix in Tucker.
The silent have spoken, because there’s wayyyyy more lefties shopping
there then at Kroger. So… we have far more quiet Trump supporters here
then people realize.
When I drank carbonated drinks I much preferred RC over Coke or Pepsi.
Hell though, these days they are probably just as bad. Colleges sure did a number on generations of children, didn’t they.
All-Sport is a Dr. Pepper/Snapple group product if he wants to use a sports drink. There are recipes on line to make your own that eliminates the food coloring and uses honey instead of sugar.
Coke, Delta and Baseball–got it!
I also quit Frito-Lay. They are a now Black Lives Murders-manufacturer with a snack food hobby.
I also quit Frito-Lay and my beloved baseball. I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t miss watching baseball. Of all the businesses that went woke, MLB is the one that really ,really hurts. That being said, I haven’t watched a game since the 2019 World Series because there are more important things than baseball.
Fanta too (unfortunately).
Boycott Coke and all the rest of their products. Easy enough to find alternatives.
Sam’s Club Cola – 2 liters – 72 cents. Less than 1/2 coke’s price which has got to be mostly profit and advertising..
Sam’s Cola is a knock-off of Pepsi, not Coke. Doesn’t taste even remotely similar. Someone else said awhile ago that Publix was the best knock-off of Coke.
Need to find both local and nationally available substitutes.
Example- Publix is a southeast US chain and has no stores in Maryland. Closest Publix to me is 72 miles away in central Virginia.
I mixed Publix brand diet coke with rum last night. Could not tell the the difference. Coke will go broke!
After a few rum and colas, you could probably use $1.00 a gallon bargain cola and not tell the difference.
I stick with home made ice tea and an occasional A&W or other small brand root beer.
I worked my way through college at a Coke bottler back in the late 70s.
A 16 oz bottle was retailing for about 25 cents.
I was able to buy it at the retailer’s cost of 7 cents.
My employer was a Coke franchisee, so Coke’s cost was far far less.
The real money is in the mix.
Up until recently, I used the small bottles of Minute Maid orange juice to help me manage pregnancy nausea/blood sugar crashes. Switched to store brand grapefruit juice. Going to switch to store brand lemon juice, too, even though ReaLemon tastes better. Luckily Schweppes in our area is bottled by Dr. Pepper so I can keep using ginger ale to help manage nausea. ^_^
It’s not just Coca-cola itself. Check out what they own too.
Mind you, PepsiCo brand is just as bad, if not worse, and owns far more.
TreeClimber, have you tried ginger chews for nausea? See if you can fine those, amazing results and its just a gummy made from ginger. We use them for the occasional queezy tummy.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve actually tried those before, but they’re too strong and actually set it off. I’ve found that drinking something with sugar helps, so I suspect it may have to do with spiking/dropping blood sugar.
We drink a lot of tea with ginger. You can use de-caf tea and make the ginger as strong or weak as you like. Hot, or brew and chill. We are now using organic, powdered ginger, but have used fresh, peeled slices of ginger. We use the full-bodied Twining’s Irish and English teas, and would never go back to the anemic substitutes we used to drink! Ginger is a very powerful anti-inflammatory!
I keep some of those ginger chews handy as well. But, something that works as well is a small piece of black licorice.
See Reeds https://drinkreeds.com/ they have great ginger drinks and chews. The chews are perfect for motion sickness. Ancient mariners used ginger to fight off sea sickness.
My paternal grandfather used to suck on Reeds mints all day every day for the last 10 years of his life back in the ‘50s and early ‘60s. He always had a couple rolls in his pocket because he suffered from nausea caused by hypertension meds.
Oh yay! I cut em in little pieces; as a little goes a long way.

The bow tie is a dead giveaway!
Keep up the good work.
I’m proud to say I haven’t purchased a Coke product since the stupid comment.
We should get a list of “white” inventions and force/shame people to stop using anything invented by white people, like: Basketball, football, baseball, cell phones, TV’s, computers, internet, flush toilet, cars, airplanes, HVAC, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Wonder Bread…on and on and on…
Of course these boycotts do not include Americans/people of any color or creed who have the ability to think..
A list more or less like that one is my favorite response to any type of anti-white/anti-male comment. Funnily enough they rarely have a good answer and fall back on “(internalized) misogyny” (the funny thing is that most people on the internet think I’m a guy before I make a joke about being the first man to manage to have three pregnancies.)
I found myself in a donnybrook with a 23 to 25 year old kid freshly minted college graduate whose contention to me was that the world and the country would be better off if we could get rid of about 40% of all white people. My instant retort was “you first”. As the hilarity ensued I began listing the accomplishments of the West and by default “white” people and this kid began to stutter and spit his answer “you have a lot of hostility “.
The funny thing is when the looting begins they steal TV’s and sneakers an you guessed it, invented by white people.
Note: This confrontation was an open forum where I was talking to “white” Liberal buddy from Chicago and a “black” conservative buddy from Baltimore, who both piled on this kid, even liberal from Chicago who was complaining about taking down the statue of Columbus in a park in Chicago. Great fum.
?????

Sometimes is hard to tell which is the fascist chicken and which is the fascist egg between a fascist government and fascist corporations.
Grayton’s new “consulting” job has one main task. “Keep your mouth shut and do not complain about losing your job.”
The Japanese call them “Window Men”. They get an office, a desk and a window to look out, with nothing to do.
Why don’t Coke consultants look out the window in the morning? They’d have nothing to do in the afternoon.
Grayton’s consulting job pays mucho dinero.
To paraphrase Cher, we need Coke like a fish needs a bicycle.
Or Fauci needs a mask!
Or we need fauci
Off Coke and all pro sports. Going to stay that way!
And please, I think it’s really effective to write (twitter, GAB, fb) about how the NBA and Nike (always mention the two together because they ARE joined at the hip) are supporting the genocide in China of Uighurs, are supporting a murderous, totalitarian regime in China, a regime which wants to destroy not only many of their own but America as well.
The more the NBA, Nike, NFL, MLB realize Americans are no longer uneducated about these events, the more uncomfortable we make them.
Frankly, I tell them to get their asses out of America if they’re going to support murder.
The NBA has a solid core of fans who buy tickets (which are extraordinarily expensive to pay those whores of the NBA) and we’re not likely to affect those sales, BUT we’re out to cause the casual ,sometimes watcher of a game to NOT tune in, AND we’re out to DESTROY the brand. No more selling of the “WE CARE about minorities and about diversity” when we tell people they are greedy supporters of genocide.
The broadcasting contracts are what pays the crazy salaries. Tickets alone could never do that.
Drink more coke, lose more teeth.
Can’t fire the diversity disaster…no way to spin that without incurring the wrath of the BLM crowd, so shuffle him off to, I’m sure, a highly compensated (so he won’t bitch), ‘consultant’ position that reports only to the CEO…which means effectively ghost employment. I’m sure CEO Quincy’s last words were something to the effect, “Don’t call us, we’ll call you…”
Great gig if you can get it.
Continue to turn the screws on Coke…can go belly up as far as I’m concerned. Bought very little to begin with, none now.
Need to publicize list of all Coke and Coke subsidiary products…don’t want to miss anything.
I worked with a company once that fired executives by making them consultants for a period of time and giving them office space an an off-site executive suite. I’m sure that’s what’s going o.n here.
Is Jessie Jackson still on their “board” or only on their books?
I also noticed LeCreuset cookware has launched a MLB line of cookware!! OK, they are French but sell a lot of their stuff here in the US. I for one refuse to buy any more of it. Good Bye LeCreuset
Have you contacted them and told them you aren’t a customer any longer? I try to communicate at least one email a day to companies insulting my sensibilities as an American.
I just email them and told them we are buying [made in American] All Clad.
Le crueset is sold at qvc, too. They already got an email from me when they started promoting black owned businesses last fall. Quit ordering after twenty years.
This Deplorable is doing his part. Haven’t spent a penny on Coke since they took their stance on the Georgia law.
To David Read’s point, why hasn’t someone started going after the soda companies like they did the tobacco companies? You can’t tell me diabetes isn’t a REAL public health crisis… soda is no better than cigarettes.
MM, you are correctoe, soda pop is even worst than tobacco.
Same for alcohol. Last time I checked, cigarettes don’t kill people by driving while smoking like DWI. The “powers” in the government want their alcohol and soft drinks so they will never be targeted. Think about the pounds Dove ice cream has put on Americans. Their poster child is Nanzi Pull-oh-see!
You’d have to go after the sugar industry for the relationship to diabetes not just the soda companies.
My dietician told me all carbs turn to sugar in the gut. You can’t just blame it on refined sugar.
But the problem with that quick fix of mainlining straight sugar into your bloodstream screws around with your insulin levels.
Over time it mucks up your metabolic system producing diabetes and other associated problems.
We humans were never meant to eat endless amounts of refined foods.
Whole foods left intact are better for us.
Try eating and apple a day much better at slowly regulating the amount of sugar entering the bloodstream or any other food that does the same thing.
I only drink Milo’s Sweet Tea (made with real sugar in Alabama, and Winston cigarettes. The real pandemic is STD’s. Wonder why Dr Falsi doesn’t put out a mandatory condemn ruling.
So they demoted a black guy ? Do BLM and ANTIFA know this yet ?
Do BLM and ANTIFA know this yet ?
Hahaha! Hopefully they find out.
Boycott absolutely!
But also important to keep in mind:
a.) This is a timid, half-hearted reform bill, at best. It might not affect the Mail-In Fraud and certainly doesn’t affect the massive CheatWare Fraud.
b.) Kowtow Kemp is trying to pose as an honest election-hero when he is one of the biggest Election Fraud criminals in America. He bought the Chinese CheatWare immediately after his trip to China’s spy-nest embassy. The legislative leadership is compromised as well.
c.) These companies don’t care about black people. They want more fraud so they can install more puppets to serve their interest$.
I understand that the CEO got an earful from some major, long-standing (decades) shareholders that the company needs to stay out of politics and sell products.
That is great to hear!
100%, Sundance. Target high profile, woke corps and make them feel the pain openly and visibly. Undermines the foundation of their brand. Stockholders beware the lion that is on the prowl. Invest wisely.
No matter what CC does, I will NEVER, NEVER eat or drink any of their Commie products again.
Hmmm, not sure that Woke-a-cola learned their lesson. This chooch’s replacement is another poc, as if they have some sort of quota. Monica Howard Douglas may be the finest lawyer in the known universe, but as with anything these days, I am skeptical and of course, cynical.
I had to grab a few snacks at the grocery store Sunday. Took a swing by the cold drink aisle. The woke cokes section almost completely full. The other sections…..wiped out. There are more of US paying attention. Hehehe. ?
I switched to Publix cola and it tastes better.
Have they ever considered an apology and a retraction?
They are too afraid of the woke crowd. This boycott for me is forever. I want to live longer just for that.

My wife passed over a Coke sale last week. A buy 1 get 2 free six pack deal. She asked me if she did the right thing. I said of course you did. She said but I’m only one person how much can me not buying Coke help. I said there are 100’s of thousands doing the same .. Just watch…. Can’t wait to share this with her.
Hezzy, Please tell her ‘yes’ for me. The Coke deal at my Stop-and-Shop today was five 2-liter bottles for $5. Humming to myself , ‘just walk on by’.
You certainly want to get liberals in a tizzy about cultural appropriation.
Keep singing that song…
Hezzy, Be sure to ask your thoughtful wife if she hears the applause from here.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? (No. Not tacos)
I tried other brands and couldn’t stand them after drinking diet coke forever. But just started chemo and voila, now I can’t stand the stuff. Lol.. God works in mysterious ways:)
Prayers all goes well with your chemo treatments, Cynthia.
ha! Same happened to me with…..Chocolate!!!
I had to Spit. It. Out. it tasted so disgusting!
A really good quality European w/ hazelnuts bar, to be exact. I’m back on them now that I’ve been chemo free for a while. But it was pretty cool to get over the chocolate “addiction” so , um, *quickly*.
Best to you w/ your health and congrats on hating Coke.
Coca Cola coffee products: Costa Coffee and Georgia Coffee; Coca Cola Tea Products: Fuze tea, Honest tea, Gold Peak tea and Peace tea.
One little demotion isn’t enough. No coke products until the CEO is gone and they pull of their products from MLB. Also at a minimum the Atlanta Braves should cancel any contracts with WokaCola and Delta.
The bottom line always “Trumps” the diversity scam. Money talks, everything else is bs.
My extended family has been serious Coke drinkers for many generations. Upset stomach? He kid here’s some coke.
Sunday dinner fried chicken and fat fried french fries goes great with Coke! Big enough to hold a Pinochle hand kid but not old enough for a beer? Here’s your 6 oz glass bottle of Coke.
No more! Screw that caca !
I WAS a coke drinker until all this happened. I only drank coke that was bottled in Mexico,where they use cane sugar instead of corn syrup. Gonna miss it, but got to draw the line on this nonsense.
Same here.
When the 15 days started and the market dropped I noted all airline stocks dropped quite a bit. Seeing this was a decrease that would be temporary, all the airlines are not going out of business, I bought some shares in many of the publicly traded airlines including delta (DAL). So far this is proving to be a good investment. When they spoke out against Georgia election reforms my initial knee-jerk reaction was to dump my stock in delta (DAL) as I do not agree with the CEOs comments. This is the wrong reaction. Holding stock in delta (DAL) allows me to vote against their board members. So I have since bought more shares in delta (DAL) and I would encourage more likeminded conservatives to do the same. One does not need to put their life savings there, one share gets you a vote. If enough do this and hold the corporate board members and CEOs accountable that could make change.
Do you actually vote or do you sign the proxy statement to allow proxy to exercise your vote?
I vote though proxyvote.com. Delta has not had their annual meeting since I bought into them, but I will once they have the next meeting. I also own a bit of stock in apple and have voted against retaining their CEO and board members to include our dear friend Al Gore.
Great news. Keep up the pressure! This household has NO coke products and never will.
I can’t boycott something I don’t drink, something I don’t watch and an activity I don’t need to do (fly).
You’ve been doing yourself a favor and didn’t even know it. Keep up the good work.
The really interesting part is that up to going “Woke”, the Coca-Cola Company actually already had a quite racially diverse make up in its Executive Ranks. It is not as if Coke has had a lily White Executive running the company in a “biased” manner, then suddenly hired a bunch of diverse Executives.
One of those Executives was none other Julius “Dr. J” Erving.
Of course those pre-Woke Executives have gotten or would get the Herman Cain treatment should they have acted to end this BS.
I’d rather drink warm cat urine than drink another Coca Cola product.
That’s my contribution to the cause.
Isn’t that a blog?
Blog?
What’s that?
Is that the drink “grog” but made with the cat urine?
I’m rolling on the floor —-laughing. ahhhhh hahahahaha!
The power of MAGA boycott works. As more people get in the spirit of MAGA BOYCOTT the more threatening and more effective. Hopefully MAGA BOYCOTT becomes a managed organization. The key is to keep it a concentrated rifle target and not a scattered shot-gun.
Maga boycott should replace the Chamber of Commerce (aka chamber of china)
Agree. I sent out an alert when this happened to my entire email list with a phone number for Coke headquarters and urged everyone to call. Every bit helps.
And – We recently took a trip and my husband came back from the gas mart with a Pepsi and remarked that he wasn’t white enough to drink Coke (and this was before this was everyplace. He is furious with them.) I will also no longer buy my favorite bottled water which is a Coke product – Dasani. WE ARE DONE WITH COKE.
I’m in.
Totally agree.
Coke is a great place to start.
I would dearly love to watch MLB and drink Coke, but they just aren’t woke enough for me yet.
And I don’t think that they ever will be…..
Maybe if they cancelled the next ten MLB seasons and Coke closed down all of their bottling plants I could take that as evidence that they have given up their racist ways.
Maybe.
Baseball used to be a big part of my life, both as a fan and a player. I still play a little (even though I’m now about 317 years old), but I’ve been effectively boycotting MLB for some time now. Now the ONLY time I give them any attention is when I check the box scores to see how Albert did. And once he retires, probably after the current season? I’m done.
you are well aged…317 years old …hmmmmm
😉
I’m pretty sure the 317 Jello333 is referring to is his lifetime batting average.
It actually was 333 back when he started posting here but his torn ACL knocked it down a few notches during his last few seasons of playing.
As long as I can stay above .300 I’m happy. 🙂 One reason I love baseball: How many occupations can you fail 7 out of 10 times and still be considered one of the best? 😀
Great point, Jello! I suppose inventor could be included in this category.
IIRC, it took Thomas Edison around 1000 times to create a commercially viable electric lightbulb.
By the way, I just discovered that Edison’s first patent was for an ELECTRIC VOTE RECORDER when he was a very young man.
So the guy who brought light to the people of America ultimately brought “darkness” to the elections of the people of America.
He definitely didn’t hit a grand slam with that one.
Has golf been affected ?
Not that I can tell
Jello ,
*317 years*
That would be Doggie Years , amiright ???
Not watching baseball affects me a lot more than football. I used to have an MLB.com account so I could listen to Phillies games online – radio broadcasts are still the best way to “watch” a game. I miss it. But they hate me, so I miss it a lot less than I used to.
The up-side of ditching Coke products is that it’s great for your health. So ditching soft drinks in general is just a good idea.
You’re right there. I just soaked two rusty garden tools in two cans of coke and voila in 2 days they were in mints condition….so imagine one’s insides???!!!
Patrice-
In the mid 60’s in Elementary school one of my teachers asked for a tooth to be donated next time any of us lost one….
She took the tooth and put in cola. We checked it once a week……..
It rotted.
Thank you Patrice for inspiration. Accidentally dropped my favorite garden clippers in a pile of debris and couldn’t find them until a few weeks ago… all
Rusted. I will try a coke-like beverage and see if the rusty clippers can be restored. Was feeling discouraged. Hope this works
Same here. I used to listen to the Mets’ games as their announcers weren’t all yelly.
The ’81 strike devastated baseball. Took 10 years or more to recover their audience.
They will never recover from wokeball. So sad Jeter just bought the Marlins – sh*tpot of money down the drain.
