1. I bought a case and I don't even like it, but I like the idea of registering the purchase.
Does the RW realize what a minority they are in their ethophobic positions?

15. Clearly you're not a racist, homophobic asshole
Since it seems after that Superbowl Commercial that Coke is no longer the preferred brand of racist, homophobic assholes.
I'm not real sure what this is all about, but it seems to me it's one of those instances where the primitives jump to silly conclusions and assume decent and civilized people are "boycotting" something.
<<<when having soda, Coca-Cola has always been soda of choice.
Perhaps someone can illuminate further?
-
The DUmpmonkeys are operating under the delusion that a mythical, monolithic "Right" is boycotting Coca-Cola, because of a Super Bowl commercial. The commercial shows people singing America the Beautiful in different languages.
In response, the DUmpmonkeys are making a big deal about buying Coke products. The irony is, of course, that Coca-Cola is one of the largest corporations on earth, the epitome of the mythical "one percent"; and purveyors of one of the least healthy "food" products on earth: canned brown sugar water with caffeine added for extra addiction power.
Way to go, DUmmies! Gaea weeps.
-
Oh. Thank you!
I always drink Coca-Cola because it's allegedly the Republican company, while Pepsi-Cola's the Democrat company; the geography and the demographics seemed pretty much to prove it.
Actually, really, I always drink Coca-Cola because it's the original, and if one can have the original, why bother with a substitute?
-
I didn't see it because I didn't watch the Superbowl, but apparently Coke ran an ad with a bunch of minorities singing America The Beautiful in different languages, and, like all things that advocate multiculturalism, The Primitives were beguiled and impressed by this enough to rush out and start buying Coke products.
And they say we're the sheep...

Well, damn.
Considering the international scope of Coca-Cola, I'm surprised they never run such an advertisement years ago, decades ago.
Coca-Cola, Ford, and Singer at one time were the most-recognized symbols in the world; they were into this "global trading" thing decades, generations, before other corporations caught on.
-
Really I can't think of a better example of how immature and naive DUers can be.
I should come up with some product like, an "Automated Baby Seal Clubber" or something, and then all I'd have to do is run a bunch of ads on DU with a black transsexual with a French accent as the spokesperson and I guarantee you The Primitives would flock to my website to buy it, even if they didn't have any baby seals that needed clubbing.

I bought a Coke at Chick-Fil-A the other day.
:yahoo:

Actually, this is okay; it keeps the primitives preoccupied so they don't pay attention to what we're really doing.

About 40 years ago, Coke had this commercial:

Lyrics:
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
I'd like to buy the world a Coke, and keep it company.
The company's decision to advertise during the Super Bowl, and its decision to run the America the Beautiful ad, was motivated by one thing: profit. As a Coca-Cola shareholder, I'd like to thank the DUmmies for doing their part to support the one percent!
-
For all the lurking DUmbasses, I'm going to attempt to help you from making and ass out of yourself. It's a monumental task I know, but here goes. The idea of having people sing America the Beautiful in different languages was concocted in whatever marketing agency that Coke has on the payroll. It's aimed at one thing: INCREASE Profits. Nothing more. While you may have different thoughts within the organization, the first priority in business is making a profit. So by you rushing out and purchasing their product you have contributed to so called 1% percenters. Thank You for your business.

Only way as an adult I drank Coke is with a couple shots of rum and a wedge of lime.
Until I was old enough to demand Coke as a kid I had to drink this regional concoxion of soda, pop, tonic, depends on what one calls the stuff named MOXIE. There is no way to make that stuff taste good to a child.
I found a diner that had Moxie on the soda list and gave it another go as a middle aged old fart and something had changed to my sense of taste through the years. This time around it was not bad at all, I kind of liked it matter of fact.
Much like canned baked beans and pork, they have to be B&M as all the others are missing something.
Coke needs to be sold in glass bottles the plastic ones just don't taste the same.
Far as the ad with the spunky kid telling daddy she would except a baby brother if he got her a puppy, on so many levels this was right on, I really like that ad.
-
DUers, pay no mind to the other posts in this thread.
You ARE making a difference! Keep buying Coca Cola products. That'll show us/them/whoever! But keep it up!

Ayup. There's an increased fizziness that Pepsi has, IMO, and I don't like it.

Pepsi has this kind of "tangy" taste to it too, that I find icky. Never liked it much.

Pepsi is too syrupy for me. I'll stick with Coke.
Some of the no-name store brands aren't bad. Wal-Mart's diet soda is okay.
-
I prefer Pepsi over Coke, but I'd rather have RC Cola - if I can find it.........
-
I would consider my self pretty conservative, more than average on most issues. I saw the ad, it never occurred to me until I saw the liberals response to it that something might be "bad" about it.
Coke is a worldwide company, why wouldn't they have people from several nationalities in their commercials? Seems the liberals are the ones that notice race.......making them the racists?
-
My favorite Coke flavor is DR Pepper. :-)
Reminds me of the outrage they had over the Cheerios commercial with that clever little girl who got a puppy. They showed a bi-racial family and the only ones up in arms about it was the libs showing their true colors. :rotf:
-
And the fuss they made about the Romney family picture.

I never got the DUmmy projection over that one, either.
The puppy commercial is cute, but I liked the other one better; the one where the dad wakes up from his nap with Cheerios piled up over his heart.

If PhDD was here, she'd adamantly deny the obvious racism of her fellow travelers.

Agreed. I paid little attention to the ad. Why are their feathers all ruffled up?
I don't drink soda anymore, but when I did, I preferred Pepsi over Coke. Not sure why that was.
I think the coke was too sweet and not fizzy enough.
-
The brand of soda I buy has nothing to do with politics, just its taste. Maybe if manufacture of a brand actually involved human sacrifice and the competitor's didn't, I might reconsider. Maybe.

Ethophobic? A fear of ethics? Sorry, that's a much bigger problem for Democrats than it is for Conservatives or even Republicans. Good Lord, you people on DU are such witless tools.

True, they are the ones obsessed with race. We are more concerned with policies and beliefs, not the color of one's skin.

When I buy toilet paper and paper towels, I make sure it's from the Koch brothers. As for coke, I buy what's on sale or the Publix brand.

Whenever I make a purchase, I research carefully in order to buy from companies that club baby seals and kill furry cute animals. :-)

Will have to start doing that.

I club them myself and use the softest bunch of furry animals to wipe my butt....but lately there seems to be a shortage of stray cats around here.

I checked, I have shares of Coke, hope they run more ads like that so I can make more money off of the liberals!

won't be making much. primitives buying stuff either involves food stamps or shoplifting.

I love to see the DUmmies supporting America's corporate farms, buying all that high-fructose corn syrup.

Liberals are the ones that should be boycotting Coke products. Think about it.
The Coke commercial has all these different nationalities singing praise to the United States of America. They are in effect, glorifying the uniqueness and greatness of the US over their home countries.
American Exceptionalism at it's best!!

Never quite thought of that, so it deserves to be quoted. H5.

Good Lord, you people on DU are such witless tools.
And Skippy is supposed to be a "smart" DUmmie. Come to think of it, "smart DUmmie" kind of has the same oxymoronic ring to it as "trained alligator" or "obama - Constitutional Scholar".

Uh huh.
Which proves my assertion that an "average" mind that's open absorbs more wisdom, more understanding, than a "brilliant" mind that's closed.
Really, Skippy should be ashamed of himself, having such a gift but then not using it.

:yahoo:
Whoa. That's like dividing by zero and finding an integer. Did a black hole appear?
-
Well shit, the VRWC never told me not to buy it. I think I'm going to be sick. :puke:

I don't drink much soda, but when I do it's A&W Cream Soda as my first choice, and Coca-Cola second. I have never cared for Pepsi or RC.

The MSM once again has placed outrage on conservatives for the Coke ad. NOONE I follow on Twitter was outraged over the ad (I could have missed one or two, though). All of the conservative Twitter accounts I follow didn't have a problem with the ad...and I didn't either. But check out the Google search results.

Have any of you heard outrage from other conservatives over this? Did I miss something?

I haven't heard any outrage and no one here has expressed that opinion.
Lately I've been getting most of my political news off the tv and haven't seen anything.

I didn't see any outrage on twitter either, just some liberals saying that conservatives were outraged by the ad.

Congratulations, DUmbasses. You fell right into the clutches of the corporatist 1%ers at Coke. The commercial was designed for one thing, and one thing only - to sell you a product. And like any good sheep you went straight out and bought it on the strength of a single feel-good ad.
You're a capitalist's dream.
:rotf:

I'm pretty sure I saw something on Breitbart about Allen West being upset about it. Other than that, haven't really heard anything other than liberals claiming that conservatives were outraged.
I barely noticed the damn commercial, nor did I think there was anything wrong with it. Ditto the Cheerios multi-racial family one. Nothing wrong with either. Just liberals planting the proverbial "false flag" operation, IMHO.

On face book I posted that Coca-Cola was anti-Irish.

Well, they're stomping Hell out of the strawmen they set up themselves. Not having a lot of effect on either Coca-Cola or Conservatives, though.
