Pepsi cuts DEI while Coca-Cola defends it

[darealvelle]

The Carolina bruhs about to struggle. They hate Coke in NC and SC.

Damn. I preferred Pepsi too but fukk em

I need to drink less pop anyway

My thoughts exactly. Was looking at that list thinking this is all trash anyways.

How'd they get a license when our bodies weren't even designed to eat that mess

Who the fukk drinks Pepsi anyway

Older black people. Pepsi was the first beverage company to really fukk with nikkas en masse. Coke was for white markets only initially

I'm learnjng to always look for a federal contract and yes, Pepsi has one. So does Coca Cola

Anybody with a contract is under the gun so while Coca Cola may not have ended DEI YET-- its likely on the horizon.

I been biting my tongue on this but I feel like its gonna be interpreted wrong either way: I'm sorry, but I don't think its boycotting is an appropriate or fair response. Colleges and Universities are under the gun too. I don't have the answer, but expecting companies, schools, etc entangled with the gov to just throw up the middle finger isn't realistic. Trump is weaponizing the private sector's relation w/the gov against them.

Done. Used to prefer pepsi too . Guess i just became a coke man.





I think anti-DEI is tough position for cocacola because of their entrenched position in Atlanta.




Might have a problem if Dr.Pepper's owner Kuerig releases a statement




Its even worse when they are conglomerates. Good job listing the brands @Lambent55 . Folks will skip out on pepsi soft drinks but forget that they also own Frito Lay, Ruffles , and most of the chips industry.


Its a little dicey for Pringles because the racists have already issued a lawsuit to their parent company Kellogg. But Kellog seems to be sticking to it and fighting the case

I grew up in the town where Pepsi was started. This will be hard, but f then.
The irony is that Coca-Cola has a had a very problematic history. From supporting apartheid to the hiring of Black drivers. Times change!

I always knew Coke was better.

 

[levitate]

I don’t drink much pop and other shyt that they produce…

Now I won’t drink any.

 

[IIVI]

fukk em.

MAGA boycotted Bud Light, we can do the same to all their brands.

Been a Coke person anyways.

Christmas Polar Bears and glass bottle Coke is a vibe.
