#1 I’ve been trying to kick my coke habit. I think this crap might be a stronger motivator than anything else.

#2 Long RC Cola

#3 I guess they don't want to sell their product to an entire segment of the population they consider racist and privileged (in the model of their senior management).

#4 If, like me, you only dring cola because you can't stand coffee in the morning, here's the caffeine leaderboard.

#5 I gave up Pepsico products after CEO Indra Nooyi's stupid "America gives the world the middle finger" babble, so I guess I'll give up Coca-Cola products because they are giving whitey the middle finger.

#6 RC Cola is better anyway, especially with a Moon Pie.

NOT ashamed to be NON-Black.
So stop purchasing Coke products last week.
The family switched the Diet-Rite RC's ... cost a little more but putting $$$ were our mouths are also.

#8 Ginger ale makes you belch louder anyway, so this is an easy call.

#9 @#4 - I thought Mountain Dew was #1. And I thought they quit making Tab.

#10 ^ list was colas only.

#11 Make Coca Cola the best that you can and STFU about the rest of the woke, social justice B.S. In the long run you will do better with that business plan.

#12 Roger that on the colas, a sub-division of soft-drinks, I suppose.

#13 There should be a nationwide online retailer that refuses to sell Woke corporations' crap. That would be a very large and profitable market niche

#14 KO is a major holding in thousands (maybe tens or hundreds of thousands) of widows and orphans trust funds. It is a major part of various index funds. It is one of Warren Buffet's biggest investments. It has been part of the DJ Index for over 30 years.

The management of KO, CEO Quincey, CFO Murphy and COO Smith need to be fired immediately. It would also be necessary to eliminate the Chief Legal Officer Gayton who is, I presume, spearheading this lunacy.

#15 Won't happen. Buffett will side with the Wokesters.

#16 #14 And legitimate questions for anyone who owns even one share of KO are: (1) how does this increase shareholder value and (2) are you so overstaffed that employees of the company have time for this BS?

#17 Mom said the people on her side of the family were French (out of New Orleans) and all the people on my father's side were jackasses.

#19 What the hell happened to strikes? Doesn't anybody strike anymore, except marxist professors?

Or boycotts? Aerated beverages were never good for anybody anyway.

#20 When can I ask for a class for people of color to act "less black"?

Racist? Not any more than the "less white" bullshit. If you want me to act less Italian, then you're going to get punched.

#21 Drink Dr Pepper. Problem solved.
