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.
Boycott the NBA and the NFL as well.
Actually consider the NBA the worst.
Directly responsible for the voting fraud we witnessed
during the presidential election. By loaning “internet friendly”
facilities to hook up all the dominion machines to.
And, in Atlanta : besides the “watermain break” they were
doing registration drives for early voting to beat the band.
City of Atlanta sits in two different counties. How much
checking was going on to see if someone hadn’t, say, already
voted?
I’d guess slim or none.
Coke? What’s Coke?
Even Mike Lindell kicked his habit (hee hee)
~and look at how well he’s doing!!!
May God’s blessings continue; and abound. MAGA-A
A white powder usually inhaled up your nose. LOL
We drink sweet tea, unsweet tea, and…sweet peach tea at our house.
Just put a few Bigelow Perfect Peach “individual size” tea bags in with your usual amount of tea while brewing (and 1 cup of sugar for a gallon of tea).
Thanks! Daughter used to love Rush Revere’s peach iced tea. ? Will try this.
Incidentally, delighted to discover in our coke boycott that Pepsi with real sugar doesn’t have to come from Mexico or cost a fortune! Son is pleased.
I also believe that there are MAGA people around the world who are also boycotting Woke Coke. I do not think that this boycott is just in the USA.
The world needs to inflict pain onto commie lefty companies.
Yup!
Not to mention the loss from less travelers/vacationers imbibing.
~NO more brown liquid corn fructose and rum
Affirmative.
Hear, hear!
Sounds like Bradley Gayton’s ideas of “new diversity requirements for the company’s outside lawyers” didn’t go over well with Coke’s “outside lawyers.” Coke had to okay that press release (meaning upper management/CEO)… so Coke thought they could push their hired guns around – guess again! Coke is a Joke!
100% Fed Up
Woke-A-Koch-A-Cola Goes Flat After People Find Out Who They Were Founded By…
https://100percentfedup.com/woke-a-koch-a-cola-goes-flat-after-people-find-out-who-they-were-founded-by/
According to this article, the Koch brothers funded the anti (white) American diversity training!
i bet the fluffer sean hannity is trying to make up the difference
I have something important to say because I’m a Dr. Pepper drinker. It’s easy to think it’s owned by Coke or Pepsi but Dr. Pepper is actually considered its own entity. Yes, it is often sold with either of those product branches but neither has direct ownership over it.
The bottling contracts determine who ships it to the store and which product it is sold with.
We were happy to find that out. We rarely drink soda but if out and thirsty once in awhile. Hubby loved cherry coke. We said nope and got the delicious Dr. Pepper Zero sugar. Refreshing and delicious!
I barely drink pop now but when I do or I do fast food it’s Dr Pepper
Or Faygo after all I live in Michigan
Because everyone in Xichigan is a Fayg?
JJ But couldn’t resist
Also don’t forget to include in the boycott of Woke Coke, fountain drink products exclusively served in many restaurants and especially “fast food” places like McDonald’s. This is a large chunk of their corporate business, especially in the sale of “combo meals” which include a drink. If it is “Woke Coke” then as the Woke Twitter mob would say; #Decline the Drink.
Also: Isn’t their lemonade
~ Minute Maid (caca cola owned)?
Yes. And Powerade.
OMG! The guy is the poster boy for your typical Affirmative Action goof ball!
Can you really completely fill in the check box with a guy that looks like Steve Urkel?
He thought he was being hired by Cucka-Cola.
You can’t see his shoes, but I found a picture:
&f=1&nofb=1
“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.”
Oh, I bet if this were anything other than a demotion for woke-blind consulting, Woka-Cola would be touting the reasons why it was beneficial to him.
Might be an Al Sharpton …. Crump bl m invitation for a gathering waiting in the wings.
Woke culture may turn out to be the Peter Principle on steroids.
Hiring the under-qualified minority feels good, looks good; but then what the hell do you do with them?
Give them a “strategic consulting” title it seems.
Give them a desk in a broom closet with a box of crayons and coloring book
Make no mistake about what just happened here. The news that Bradley Gayton to a “strategic consultant” is probably pressure coming from the Coke Board. Coca-Cola cannot fire him because they want to avoid the mob; he is being worked out of the company on the basis of a negotiated release. They removed him from his GC role and are temporarily holding him in corporate purgatory. He stays on salary for probably 120 days or until; he finds a new job. In other words, he got canned.
Coca-Cola thought they were hiring a “token”. However, who you hire for job should have nothing to do with “Black” or any other color. What is important this guy is a Libtard lacking; Rationale, Judgement and Commonsense. He could had been chartreuse for all it mattered.
The dude got 12 MILLION dollars!
I bet they’re laughing their arses off at Ford!!!
Coke was fine with the bill … until Kemp signed it and the far left went up in arms, so now they oppose it … now everybody hates coke.
Suggestion to businesses … stay in the business of business and out of politics … anything you do in politics will piss off at least half your consumers. There’s a reason for that meme, “Go Woke, Go Broke” Hint … hint
They don’t care. They’re Liberals, so their politics are vastly more important than their profits. And the crazier the politics, the better. To me, this boycott isn’t just about destroying Coke. It’s about putting other companies that are thinking about going hard-left that I can destroy them too. Also, destroying these big companies will reduce their $ sent to hard-left politicians. By refusing to buy Coke products, I am (in a way) cutting back on the money these companies pump into corrupt politicians.
We must END these big multinational corporations because they THREATEN us. They threaten our jobs, our way of life, and our freedoms.
Save America! America First!
Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
I think our political power with these companies will be greatly enhanced if we can outright destroy one or two of them. Delta would be an easier target. The airlines run on crazy thin margins, fuel prices are exploding, and consumers have many flight options these days thanks to COVID-addled pansies nationwide being afraid to travel.
I have been adopting the phrase, “Water’s fine.” at restaurants since it’s a good bet they serve Coke products, and frankly the politics of Pepsi’s corporate freaks are as bad or worse.
And I would add that you should specifically target Coke-branded soft drinks (Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, etc.). That is their core brand. I know Coca-Cola produces many food products, but keep it SIMPLE. Target their center of gravity – Coke products – and destroy it.
I don’t see the advantage to what you propose. If I stop buying Diet Coke, for example, what’s the harm in also quitting Simply Orange? Boycotting the second product does not dilute the power of boycotting the first.
Same with Delta. Quitting Coke Products and not flying Delta are independent actions.
If you happen to know that, great, DO IT. But I think people get discouraged because Coca Cola Co. produces many food products. If we specifically target Coke-named products, they know it’s us and we’re pissed.
Not sure Delta will actually be all that much easier a target. On paper yes they look easy. But airlines pretty much run on government subsidies and/or handouts anyway. Just look at how much money they got for the lockdown. Given they’re supporting one of the DNC’s pet causes you can be assured of yet another bailout if a boycott takes them down. Coke, not so much. Technically I think MLB is actually an easier target, problem there is everybody regards them as a toy business not a real one like Coke or Delta. Yes, they negotiate big salaries and nominally make their owners money, but they aren’t shareholder organizations.
Empty seats and empty concessions stands will also hurt MLB. The price of Coke at a ballgame is ridiculous.
The big boys will move heaven and earth to keep
Delta afloat. Hartsfield (will never say Jackson)
is a cash cow for the city of Atlanta, and a lot of
really corrupt politicians in Atlanta proper, and
Fulton and Clayton counties. I’m sure a lot of
Good old boys from other parts of Georgia have
their hooks in it, too. Grady Hospital had contracts
galore with a crooked state senator that was in a
county 150 miles away.
They don’t have enough money to fly empty planes. They simply don’t.
No MAGA patriot should fly Delta again.
Ever.
And hubby would love to boycott Delta. Who’s found an alternative airline for business travel for atlanta based road warriors? I’ll wait.
They can’t fly empty planes forever. A strong boycott would force flight cancellations. Fewer flights require fewer pilots, FA’s, maintenance, etc. causing retention problems.
Delta is a big fat juicy target.
Don’t drink soda and never have.
So I’ll be boycotting other things on their list that I DO use- like Fairlife Milk.
No harm in boycotting whatever they make, the more the merrier.
Coca Cola should be EASY to destroy. It doesn’t taste any better than other colas. It’s just a dumb habit to keep buying it. It offers NO VALUE in itself. No one loses anything by eliminating it.
Coke is a highly diversified Global brand. Delta is not.
The stockholders spoke and don’t appreciate going broke because the legal team is woke.
The woke employees don’t care if they damage the company by misusing corporate resources to promote their own partisan agenda – Its Not Their Money.
The stockholders have a different motivation…
These employees may PREFER to damage the company & our country.
Become familiar with ALL the Coca Cola brands, I just discovered on another Treehouse thread that Fairlife milk is also 100% owned by Coke, and it was my preferred milk. There is a photo posted on the Rasmussen thread that shows all the different brands owned by the company, become familiar with them and avoid all. I am grateful to Sentient for posting the photo, as I never would have dreamed I was supporting Coke by purchasing milk.
Ah darn it. Fairlife milk?
All of a sudden this week, for the FIRST time since this crap started a few years. back, there are actually things that I use on the Boycott list.
First Seventh Generation dish washing liquid , and now Fairlife.
Oh well. I’ve been one of the few lucky ones til now!
Time to find substitutes, and thanks for the info, Grenell.
I posted on the other Coke thread, Sunnydaze that a little research showed me that Safeway house brand Lucerne offers a 2% and whole ultra filtered generic milk with the same protein and sugar content as Fairlife. Off to Safeway now to buy some! I hope you have Safeway in your area, if not, search for Ultra Filtered to see what alternatives are out there.
If you are in Oklahoma or Texas, you might give Braum’s milk a try!
Lucerne milk is hormone free and antibiotic free. Not the cheese but the milk is. I called the company.
I have the same issue with Fairlife milk and need to find a substitute for the sugar content. We also drink almond milk but I need to find one that will work like milk in cooking. I am in TN and no Safeways close.
Can you get Hood Calorie Countdown milk? It’s even better than the ultra filtered milks with only 2 grams of sugar.
wrong link sorry

What goes around, comes……. (ha, ha !) ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmm….., Might Caca Cola have a ‘racist’ charge comin sooN? ?
We have to ask why Coke is doing this to one of its premier executives of color. Could very well be RACISM.
Then again, he may have gotten a pay raise for a (public) title demotion . ?
Yep!
We can do this. Easy peasy….
It is beginning to look like the deep state is actually behind these companies self-immolating as they are.
These are business people. They aren’t into risking their golden parachutes and enormous earnings over politics as risky as this.
Even Facebook and Twitter leaders, despite all of their denials, ALSO asked legislators to regulate them! Why? You think it was just a show? In my view the deep state has had them in a corner and have been using publicized channels to direct them to censor. Don’t you think the request to be regulated would be their only way out of the mess they are in?
And now we see more of it with the USPS going WAY WAY outside of their lane with its spying effort.
They are ALL being blackmailed. They all know this is destroying them and now I’m more certain than ever it’s the deep state driving them to act in ways the government cannot. Fascism it is most definitely.
It just might be time to *privatize* the U.S. Postal Service.
This is just the sort of thing that will push the issue over the edge and force legislators to vote on it!
Pretty easy to boycott a brown poison that will lift the paint off your car!
Haven’t touched the stuff in 20 years and now its for the rest of my life.
Did you know Delta features Coca Cola products?
Did you know Coca Cola is the official soft drink of MLB?
And then there is the Olympics where Coca Cola is an official partner.
I bet the marketing department at Coca Cola is feeling the heat.
Delta placed contract with Airbus for 25 planes. Delta is everything but America First.
Annnnnd, she’s black.? Don’t suppose she’ll be under relentless pressure from the left, do you???
Time to boycott Seventh Generation Products also, if you used them. They went woke.
Still waiting for my reply from Seventh Gen.
They don’t want my business? Ok, that’s easy.
Original Customer = Ex-Customer…
Love it!
Here’s more Coca Cola products:

Here’s an article from 2020 just for interest sake.
Coca-cola Is Axing 200 Beverage Brands To Refocus On Money-Making Drinks (ibtimes.com)
Also: Wonder how/if old Caca Cola memorabilia will be affected. Some of that stuff is big bucks!
Woka-Cola is for wokeholes.
We are WOKE ON COKE.
Never again does this house buy ANY coke products.
We now know what that corporation stands for. There is nothing they can do to get our business back.
We are WOKE ON COKE.
remember, it takes around 1 Hour on a treadmill to burn the calories of One can of soda.
a can of soda has 150 calories, and 8 oz of orange juice has 112. It takes almost as long to burn off the orange juice, but you do get some vitamins and protein in the juice.
I enjoy Goya coconut water ?
I had forgotten all about Goya. Do you know if they they make soda?
They might, they do have other beverages.
i found Goya has an inexpensive, vacuum sealed, dark roast coffee that is convenient for storage. It’s decent for the cost.
I keep a bean I prefer, when I feel ambitious. Lol.
Thanks for the tip! That sounds right up my husband’s alley. I’m more of a medium roast coffee and tea drinker.
No MLB. No Coke. Don’t fly anymore. Tired of being treated like cattle.
I like Coke and my Atlanta Braves a lot, but I can’t go there. They must pay for their stupidity.
I’ve switched to RC Cola, I like it better anyway. Coke is history to me now.
I have eliminated sweetened bottled beverages for different reasons for many years. I have an Alexapure water purifier. I wish I used these products so i could John the boycott.
1.Go to the store.
2.Put a six pack coca cola in your cart.
3. Proceed to check out
4. Upon checking the coke change your mind with the words:” Darn, I forgot I was boycotting this”.
5. Apologize sincerely to the cashier since you are upsetting the smooth checkout.
6. Like this you actually boycotted this product even if you actually never buy it.
My sincere apologies to all cashiers who now have to get rid of the unwanted item. But something gotta give.
How does one get into these upper management positions without having a lick of sense?
You’re adorable! Most of them have no sense. The white males do the real work and vacuous unqualified girls and blacks leapfrog them. Affirmative action is alive and well. Trust me.
I wonder if President Trump stopped drinking diet coke?
Haha. I had the exact same thought and had to go hunt down the picture posted a few days ago. When I first saw it I thought it was ice tea (still do), but judge for yourself…
I wonder what Robert Purmedus Jones (Bobby Jones Jr’s dad) whose law firm represented the fledgling young company called Coke a Cola?
the Business shouldn’involve politics,
we had power and we can Boycott them any time,
There is no Coca Cola in our house nor baseball or basketbal either. Delta: NO.
There are a lot more things that our money will not buy.
And we’ll never vote for Nikki Haley.
It’s a great excuse to get off soda anyway so two birds one stone!!!! No more for woke corporations!
Do not support your destroyers!!!!
“Gayton, who joined Coca-Cola on Sept. 1 and recently announced ambitious new diversity requirements for the company’s outside lawyers,…”
Coca-Cola’s MAIN outside counsel since its inception is King & Spalding. Wonder how that “ambitious new diversity requirements” is working out for K&S?
K&S attorneys who ended up at DoJ (AG, Acting AG, DAG):
Griffin Bell
Gary Grindler
Larry Thompson
Sally Yates
Chris Wray
…wow. All white. Wonder how diversity is working at K&S these days?
Good catch.
Two birds with one stone.
Would be a shame, shame, shame, shame
if K& S had fewer bribe bucks ™ to spread
around the politicians in Georgia they’ve
purchased over the years.
Also, to those in Atlanta: How fond are your
of the political ideology of Emory and Agnes
Scott Universities?
Because a whole lot of their endowments have
came from Coca Cola over the years.
YTG. Good points. Plus, K&S has always been rate high up on a rank chart as one of the top $$$ lobbyists in DC.
And…. the hits just keep on coming.
Sally Yates is baaaaaaaackkk!!!! at King & Spalding.
and………
Rod Rosenstein is a newbiiiiieeeeeee!!!!!!
at King & Spalding
They need to put height markings in their meeting
rooms. Kind of a police line up thing. In a just world.
Yes on Tates…I forgot about RR….. Where’s the Coca-Cola diversity for their MAIN outside counsel firm?
With elites it’s always do as I say not as I do.
Love the lineup idea!! How appropriate for these criminals.
I will keep it in mind but I don’t particularly care for coke products. never did,i grew up in a Pepsi home, and even that died out due to the unhealthy nature of the drinks.
I get so damn mad when powerful people and corporations try to negatively influence this country and the politics. We vote,that’s my “opinion”. and I generally keep that to myself and these media whores and woke clowns should be doing the same.
Focus on Coke. Give their products up for good. FOREVER.
They sell a ton of Coke in China. At least we won’t catch diabetes from China labs.
If MAGA really wants to change things, have a nationwide boycott of three of the most woke companies that advertise on NBC, CNN, ABC, NY Times, Washington Post etc. It doesn’t have to be every company, just three that get boycotted every quarter. Let’s see these blowhards get multi million dollar contract renewals when their employers are not getting advertising revenue.
Wow! Mr. Grayton has really left his mark on Coke, huh? or…maybe not!
I think that there is a strategy to set him over to the side, “until this little boycott thingee blows over”, and then…
slide him right back into his old slot of Chief Legal Counsel.
I will never buy a Coke product again. This list isn’t exhaustive but here it goes, Coke, Shweppes, Fanta, Gold Peak Tea, Fresca, Barq’s, Vitamin Water, Simply Juices and Drinks, Desani, Minute Maid, Powerade.
I will not be abused by a company that is too stupid for word.
There are plenty of other drink alternatives. Really, you’ll never miss Coke. Make them regret what they did and adopt a policy to stay out of politics. It will send a powerful message to other corporations.
Oh, great, I have to boycott WaWa now. No more shortie meatball sandwiches for me!
100 Philly companies — including Comcast and Wawa — vow to diversify supply chains
https://whyy.org/articles/100-philly-companies-including-comcast-and-wawa-vow-to-diversify-supply-chains/
Corporate America is not relenting to the “leftist” agenda, some of corporate America is run by LFBQWERTY line and staff. It completely duplicitous to state corporate America is bowing to whims of less than 2% of the population.
Great point, start with three and hold the boycott line… Make THEM the example all will fear…
For anyone interested, Goya makes soda. No idea how it tastes, but I am going to buy some to try.
https://www.goya.com/en/products/beverages/tropical-sodas
Thanks! I started buying their beans after they met with President Trump, and they were delicious (and inexpensive too!).
Keep hiring unqualified people pushing diversity idiots. Stay away from flying United too. It’s not a matter of if but when there will be a major airline incident because of diversity wokeness.
