    Coca-cola tried the Bud lite thing-didn't go well for them either

    Really hard for me to wrap my head around this stuff.

    I don't drink any carbonated stuff, at one time I liked pepsi, Coke kept screwing with the formula so I gave up on it.

    Coca-Cola is facing backlash for allowing customers to order Coca-Cola cans with personalized messages, including “Allah Is King” and “Satan Is King,” but when customers try to write “Jesus Is King,” they are rejected.A video shows customers are able to order bottles with custom phrases through the Coca-Cola website which allows slogans like “Allah Is King” and “Satan Is King” to advance to the company’s review, but “Jesus Is King” is immediately declined. The Coca-Cola website also did not allow users to create cans with Christian names such as “Holy Trinity,” “Virgin Mary,” or “Holy Spirit.”The website cited restrictions on religious figures for why it wouldn’t create the can with Jesus’ name on it. It did, however, allow users to generate the messages “Jesus is bad” and “Jesus is evil.”Coca-Cola has not issued an official statement in response to the backlash but has made changes to its website so that all online submissions undergo review for compliance with its content guidelines.Coca-Cola did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment. The controversy is not the first time Coca-Cola has faced public criticism from conservatives. In 2021, the company’s former CEO James Quincey slammed new voting laws in Georgia, where the company’s headquarters is located, after Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed voter ID requirements into law. Quincey stepped down from his CEO position in December of 2025. The company that sometimes ventures into politically charged topics and conversations has also faced backlash from the other side of the aisle when the far-Left group, “The Latino Freeze Moment,” called for boycotting the beverage company after it scaled back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts last year. “Latinos and Latinas stop spending money. Hold the line. We can all collectively make a big impact by simply holding and not spending our money,” the Latino Freeze Movement said on its website.

    I don't drink Coke or Pepsi but I do have an original 1971 Pepsi bottle in recognition of the 1971 Dallas Cowboys Superbowl win over the Dolphins. We lived in Ft.Worth at the time and I don't remember who gave it to me but I have manage to keep it all these years. I wonder if it's worth anything?

      That's right. There was a time way back in the dark ages that the Cowboys were actually a good team.

      That's right, it's been 30 years since they last sniffed a Super Bowl. Their problem isn't who they draft or the coaching, the problem has been and always will be Jerry Jones.

      I haven't gone near any Coke product in 3-4 years, as far as I know. I add the disclaimer "as far as I know" because they own so many other companies, I may have inadvertently consumed something they make money from. But it's not from lack of trying...

      I gave up them when they were called out for discriminating against white-honky-crackers like me in promotions within the company. My logic was/is: They don't want to pay white-honky-crackers, fine... This white-honky-cracker won't pay them! And I encourage all the brothas in da hood: Steal Coke!

        This woke, progressive, liberal bullshit is infecting and fucking up everything. My only child (son) died childless and I have zero blood family members left alive. That’s sad, but in a way I am relieved. I don’t have to worry about what a messed up world we are leaving to our children.
