Just sayin

[LtGoose]

They need to add McDonalds to that list

[NorwichGrad]

I'm a free market capitalist,

but i would not mind seeing these racist 'woke' corporations go into bankruptcy.

I don't buy any of their products either.

[Jtbny]

So is this cancel culture or no? I can't keep up.

yes.

coke issued a new training guideline for its white employees to 'not be too white'

cant make this up

[x-trainer ben]

so that is why this thread, i was wondering.
Soda, sugar water with bubbles and chemicals, no bueno!

[smokinal]

Can you imagine the lawsuits that would follow if a major brand told their workforce to "try to be less black" ???

Incredible

I've always thought Costa coffee was bland/generic and hugely over priced, but I was genuinely surprised to see it is a Coca Cola brand, I was comply unaware. Makes sense now.

[ArchAngel'73]

They have Sprite with fiber???!


And FYI, "Fanta" was founded in Germany during the rule of the Nazi party.

They’re a big cause of obesity and pollution around the world not to mention alleged kidnapping, torture and murder of union leaders trying to improve working conditions in Colombia Guatemala and Turkey. But, sure let’s boycott Coca Cola over a power point presentation.

I like the Fairlife chocolate milk, pricey but tasty.

[eomrat]

Any effort to boycott Coca Cola would be laughable, at best. They have something like $40 billion in annual revenue. I doubt they will suffer if a few thousand hyper-sensitive white snowflakes stop drinking Sprite.


And if it did hurt the company, who actually suffers? It certainly wont be the people responsible for that ludicrous instruction. But it certainly would be the millions of retirees whose 401's hold Coke stock and other shareholders and the employees. How does that help anything? People need to quit with all this boycotting. Its reckless and stupid and never hurts the people it was meant to.

Why?

Worth every penny. It's f'ing delicious.

[2nd_chance]

I have cancelled the cancel culture.

This all day. Sure, lets hurt you local bottlers (who aren't even Coke the Company) who employee drivers, merchandisers, warehouse workers because we want to be woke. That will show them! Lets add every retailer who sells Coke to that list too! Small pizzeria? **** you! Independent gas station? Fuk you too. If we are going woke lets go full woke, none of this half azz wokeness.

Buy from them if you want; don't if you don't. But if I was one of those being affected, I would be sure to let corporate know my dissatisfaction. Depending on what my involvement was, it's possible that I'd consider jumping ship and aligning myself with a competitor of their's.

Where does the lunacy end? Is there nothing they could do that would piss you off enough to cause you to spend your dollars elsewhere? It's sugar'ed water for goodness sakes. It's not a pharmaceutical company with a monopoly on your life saving medication.

^^This. The great thing about a capitalist society is that you get to vote with your dollar. If you don't like what a company is doing, then take your business elsewhere. Nothing at all wrong with a boycott.

Don't watch this if animal abuse bothers you. I cannot use Fairlife products. I'm sure my ignorance makes me a hypocrite about my use of products, etc, but the Fairlife investigations just made me sick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcUPClcP7-c

Its a living for many people who work there and for many others who sell their products. But you do you.

And I agree with you about the lunacy. I'm sure each and every person ITT who wants to boycott KO because of this stupid slide does their due diligence on every company they buy from or do business with. I applaud that attention to detail.

Boycott away. I'll just make sure to point out the hypocrisy of those who will inevitable cry about the left doing the same. I just find this type of shti stupid for many reasons but the main being what Doug touched on - it hardly ever affects the intended target.

Terrible. I did some more reading and it looks like the abuse was only happening at one farm, where people in the video were arrested and the brand stopped sourcing from them.

Anytime you see a video like this from militant Vegans it's worth a deeper dive - even if the Vegan isn't a pink haired tearful Karen.

Whatever floats your boat ... :shrugs:

[OldFartTom]

I'll leave it up to you if you want to boycott Coca Cola or not. Look at things like Dasani plants poisoning groundwater, (due to salt levels and over extraction), or over extracting water destroying productivity for thousands of people (https://www.theguardian.com/environm...25/water.india)

Some stupid, almost comedy memo, about not being so white means nothing. Should someone would boycott because they're offended on behalf of some white workers (who might or might not have been offended by poor taste humour memo) but wouldn't care about thousands of lives ruined by the same corporate in another country.?

I'm not defending Coca Cola in any way, but personally I am not getting triggered like this. There's the same over-sensitive triggering on both sides of the US race thing. For the sake of your blood pressure, if you want to be triggered do it over the big-deal stuff (there's a lot of that if you look) not the manufactured ones.

There's also bigger topic about how you spend your money not linked to don't be so white memos. I've been realising recently that I'm doing a very bad job on this, for example I don't think Jeff Bezos needs my financial help these days so I shouldn't knee-jerk use Amazon (I've been doing that recently)

[Lou1se]

Coca Cola were great supporters of the Nazis in the 30s and 40s

I wonder how their current state of mind would have gone down back then

''Listen here Hitler - we would like to to try and be less white''

All true. That said, big money swooped in to put as nice a face as they could on a terrible situation. I can't get on some high horse 9pun intended) about animal abuse, and I know it. I eat chicken and abuse of those poor creatures seems almost acceptable. And seeing some helpless calf abused tears me up, yet I love my milk and steak.

I was watching an abused dog commercial and a friend told me I was being a sap because they could have saved 500 dogs for the cost of the commercial spot. That the successful non profit organizations are just a shill. It's tough to know what to believe, and I didn't mean to bum people out with my post/vid. Just something that apparently was happening at that farm.

More info is usually best and the far out there animal rights people clearly seem to love animals more than humans. I'm not there...yet!

There's a Woman named Temple Grandin who suffers from Autism. Now this is going to sound really weird, but due to her condition she could walk through a slaughter line where cattle are lined up and identify why they would freak out before being killed. She's redesigned all kinds of slaughter facilities and made them as humane as possible.

Just walking along and *boom* now you're in a sandwich, never knew what hit you.

That's totally how I want to go; just not the sandwich part.

I suspect I'm too gamey and would be better served in a stew.
