i have never drank coke or pepsi and i hate both of them and i can’t drink them due to unspecified medical problems and i hate the burning when you drink a soft drink. i love milk though
I am very sorry that you cannot experience the wonderful feeling of drinking a Coke. I like milk too, however it must be with the appropriate food. Nothing beats cold milk and chocolate chip cookies… but as for pop… I am sorry.

Sorry Hoff, coke just does not stack up to a good ole Wild Cherry Pepsi. And chocolate chip cookies just do not make the cut because they smear all over my reels when I am fishing. Oatmeal raisen is the only way to go.

Aw man! Raisins? Come on Fishmoto…
And while I give you that Wild Cherry Pepsi is far better than regular Pepsi, it still doesn’t top Cherry Coke.

I quit caffeine and for the very largest part non-diet sodas and the only one I really miss is Cherry Coke. I sometimes miss Coke but it is hardly ever an effort to resist but I often have the Cherry Coke out of the cooler or in the cart before better sense returns.

Coke is pulling away with this poll.
-
Lol a poll about the better of the only two mainstream soda’s that I can’t stand to drink. Here’s my list:
Root Beer
Dr. Pepper
Mountain Dew
Sprite
I don’t drink coke, pepsi, sunkist, or any of those fruity sodaspepsi = coke + more fizz or at least that’s how it tastes to me. I tried a coke somewhat recently thinking that they couldn’t be that bad - I didn’t finish the can. Anything diet I despise. Seriously, If you can’t handle the sugar, drink water (what I drink most of the time).
I like a good lemonade made from lemon juice and heavy on the lemon juice (I usually prefer water to the powdered stuff).
I am warming up to unsweetened tea. -

Powdered lemonade is blasphemous… frozen or real is where it’s at.
Oh, sorry… we’re on Pepsi-Coke…

Currently Coke Zero or Cherry Coke Zero gets my funds. They taste like the regular versions but do not have the sweetness from the sugar/corn syrup that is used in regular soda.

The Nazis had good tastes.

OK, that disqualifies coke. Pepsi wins.
Coke is located in Atlanta why would they sell to the fucking Nazis?
-
Notice the Date. Coke was sold WorldWide after WW1.
Why would IBM also sell to the Nazi’s? Because they paid alot of money.

Lemonade!

Lemonade!
OK, good lemonade is better than Pepsi. I dont mean the cheap stuff but the lemonade that resembles homemade.

Well in 1925 they were not yet THE NAZIS. Around that time they were ‘merely’ a popular political movement and even in the 20’s advertisers had an ear for what was ‘popular.’ It is wise to be aware of viewing history through present context and preference. It is not unreasonable for some young ad man to not have a full understanding of what he was marketing.
I’d also suggest that is not a swastika in the Nazi usage being that it is not rotated the typical 45 degrees. The symbol is traditionally a Hindu symbol of protection and good fortune. Also the language is in English. I must wonder if it is marketing for Coke in India or perhaps a fabrication from a round or square badge of some sort.
What is the original source of this image? Were these badges common? How and where were they distributed? When and why did Coke decide to produce these? Is this something that would have been solely under the pervue of a German division of Coke? i.e. created by Germans for Germany as opposed to the suggestion above by the U.S. for Nazis. An executive in the US is likely to defer to the judgment of an executive or manager in Germany on this type of matter is he not?
:lol: “We report” –- Coke used swastikas in advertising — “you decide” — form a negative opinion of Coke. What is the rest of this story? What is the information that has been left out?

Or maybe the pictures photoshopped.

That seems quite possible to me as well. The whole thing seems pretty hinky. Why does it say “Drink” and not “Getränk” or “Bottles” and not “Flaschen” and are fractions of a mark cents?
Perhaps this is the original source of the image? A lot of folks waste a lot of air over liberal/conservative but it seems to me the real enemy is corporatism.
Although this seems more like the item in this thread.
This seems fairly scholarly but I haven’t finished reading or attempted to verify anything in it.

From my last link above.
The Company had gained a small, but respectable foothold by the time the crucial year of 1933 came around.
It cannot be overemphasized, however, that a big portion of this success must be attributed to what the Coca- Cola ads failed to mention: Coke’s U.S. roots. The Company had successfully established itself as a German brand in the unconscious mind of the soda-drinking public. The following anecdote shows just how successful the Company was in this respect: When a group of German prisoners of war debarked in Hoboken, New Jersey, in early 1945, one of the first things that caught their eyes was a large Coca-Cola sign. This prompted excitement among the Germans and when one of the guards demanded an explanation for their behaviour, he received the answer: “We are surprised that you have Coca- Cola here too.”
And that is all about advertisement and controlling the message. The Germans didn’t know they were buying stuff from an American company and no doubt Americans didn’t know they were buying stuff from a company selling to Nazis. Corporations have only one loyalty.
