It can't possibly be news to you that 2023 coca cola sales dances circles around 1919 sales by astronomical orders of magnitude.

Since when did it become trendy for Lefties to shill for major multinationals?

Shilling for MODERN-DAY COKE. That makes you WOKE.

Sad!

The fact that their sales are leagues ahead of where you said they were means nothing?

I said nothing about sales! They mean nothing to my argument about COKE BEING WOKE. Stop projecting & keep up liberal!!!

Your deflection can be clearly debunked by the fact that AMERICA IS NOW A MORE POPULOUS COUNTRY THAN 100 YEARS AGO. DUH!!

You said Coke were doing better in 1919. That's objectively nonsense as you can tell by dividing the sales figures by the population of the US at the time. It's not even close.

So tiresome!

I posted a photo of Coke EXPANDING INTO A NEW MARKET. Of course since Coke was EXPANDING into KNOXVILLE at that time it hadn’t conquered all of America let alone the world. YET! Coke was only a few decades old!

You made the asinine point that 100+ years of growth has occurred since then. It’s a bigger company NOW in absolute and proportional terms. Totally irrelevant. Why? Riddle me these next questions!

—When in its corporate history did Coke go WOKE? Do you even KNOW?!? (Hint: very recent!)

—So how much of that market growth of the last 100 years would you reckon was WOKENESS and how much of it was simply MAKING A GOOD PRODUCT THROUGH HONEST LABOR AND AMERICAN INGENUITY???

And now you know the HISTORY of a (once) great American brand!!

OK. And now their market is global. Which means that whining about a truck delivery in Tennessee they did once would be a terrible business move. Shall we compare the sales figures again to explain it?

It's plain you didn't understand a single point I made. You're looking at this all backwards. Let's make it even simpler.

How many years of Coca-Cola's 137-year history has it been WOKE???????????????????????????????????????

And therein will lie your answer to how much of its global success you can attribute to wokeness... you're welcome

Oh hey, did you look up the words "climate" and "season" in the dictionary yet?

I don't intend to.

I need your expert explanation of global warming, climate change, seasonal climate changes, and pollution's damaging effects on climate, as though you were talking to child so that I can understand the material presented.

I thought people with your ideology were against institutional racism and corporations as a whole largely due to the disparity in compensation between labor and executives. Yet you seem to be praising this corporation based on two factors that are contradictory to those principles.

Further, you may be overlooking the probability that if coca cola had done this in 1919 they wouldn't have existed in 1920. The country had a different vibe then.

Why are you defending a company that tells an ethnic group to act less their ethnicity and attributes stereotyped views and behaviors to all within that group?

Is it because of the astronomical sales figures coca cola can do whatever it wants?

Are you a racist?

Are you a closet conservative?
