Last weekend I was told that I shouldn't buy coca cola because of their unethical practices, I know nothing about it at all, is there anyone who can enlighten me?
yehhh ive heard coca cola are unethical aswell.. :S duno why...but, young man, itll rot your teeth!!!! ahhh..miss you ben
Don't know the deal with Coca-Cola, but Pepsi aren't much better apparently. It wasn't all that long ago they ran a bottleing plant in Burma. And to this day they sponsor bullfights in Mexico.
My god!!! If there's even a grain of truth in there it's bloody awful. ok, that's it, I'm not buying coca cola again!
Bless! I'll try and get Effie on the forums as well if I can but she's a self proclaimed ludite I'm afraid...
NO NOT MY BELOVED PEPSI!!!!! I've started drinking Pesi more than coke no. I did try to snort coke once.. but the icecubes got stuck up me nose :& I'll guess I'll be getting my coat!
i vaguelty remember some guys at glastonbury talking about the evil of coca cola... something about 6 people being murdered?? Johnny was ranting about it being not enough cause to protest against them or am i thinking about something else... oh dear...
i've not read the web site...but i do know coca cola have polluted/used many water supplys in places where water is in very short supply. they are a huuuge business and thereby is very hard and cold...i would urge you to drink lesser known drinks, they're often much tastier and better and water is much better for you and is cheap as chips!!!
No, you're right. I remember Johnny going on about the Coca Cola protests. Was pretty confusing though, wasn't there something to do with death in the bible aswell - Or were they seperate conversations?
I hope not pepsi either..but this just reminds me of the kfc thing..its the vast structure of a vast organisation haveing to rely on unethical bottling plants ..yeah they should keep track and i am should they do....but thats not realy the point i guess. I won't have a bad word said against pepsi I stopped drinking coke ... but i like DR pepper though ... dilema.. that does not have a bad rap i think. Should i boycot of the coca cola company (in all its forms) that would seem a better choice ... do other companys use like Kfc a generic bottler not one in uniquly for them in each region ?? Thats not true realy ..but i will still go along with it..i would watch the smaller companys myself...out of sight out of mind ???
OK, could I be crude and move the post away from the original topic? well I'm going to anyway What would people suggest as an alternative? Pepsi? or do they have a terrible human rights history as well? I know there a re a few small brands like Mecca calo and a few others that are marketed to people who have heard about the problems with coca cola but are there any widely available drinks I could get? I don't fancy traveling for a few hundred miles to get a mixer for my whiskey!!!
I have not drank any carbonated beverages this year. (Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper etc.) My last carbonated beverage was on December 31,2003.
i like coke. lets have some support for them huh? in africa they sell it in glass bottles, and a big truck comes round to collect them all up so they can be used again and again without plastic bottles ruining the envirionment. thats nice.
It's a gradual fading out of bad food and non-nutritious drinks I have started for myself. I plan on slowly eliminating meat from my diet too. That may take longer than Coke but I will do it. I am going to eat more veggies and fruit as well as grains. My big picture plan is to have a healthy diet with no meat, alcohol, or carbonated beverages.
You used to be able to take your empty glass bottles back to the shop, and get a bit of money back for it. Applied for all bottles, if I remember correctly - coke, pepsi, Newcastle Brown Ale. The bottles would be re-used. It was a great idea because it gave people an incentive to take their bottles back. People are lazy bastards.
