    All I am putting forward megeara is that it's POSSIBLE, you are the one who needs some facts, you claim there is absolutely NO WAY this could happen, i'm claiming it could happen, anything is possible so please show me your facts other than some corrupt justice system saying they are innocent, and show me that theres no way this could happen. you are always defending the government and big corporations, i think your some kind of mole in the forums or something man, your never here unless your arguing with someone about something, get a life.

    you make it sound like i'm some double agent working for the bush administration. I wish my life was that exciting.


    I want evidence that coca cola is guilty. Anything else is just a waste of time.

    Coca-Cola is owned by Amatil, and they own alot of companies. They even own Mount Franklin bottled watter damnit! And damn straight! All it does is give us diabetes and obesity. Thank god I had sensible parents who wouldn't buy it.

    I think soda in general is bad for you. I don't really drink it, but hey, if people like it they can have it. smoking has negative side effects as well, and the majority of the hip people here do that anyway. Everybody dies in the end, so they might as well take the risks if it makes them happy

    What? Amatil is a soda-bottling company, and the Coca-Cola Company owns a minority interest in it.

    Megeara and I frequently don't agree, but calling him a "mole" neither attacks his position nor advances yours.

    Any big corporation has links to horrible behaviour. Many foreign governments are sustained by fear and intimidation. It is no suprise that big multi-national corporations do buisness where bribing the right person gives the corp. carte blanche to do what it wants.

    The thing I find curious about Coke and Pepsi is their success in convincing the public to buy so many kinds of drink. You would think that the public would reject a diet fruit flavoured water drink. Instead, they embrace this nonsence and find their favorite fruit-flavor.

    what is suprising about that? Anything loaded with sugars is naturally appealing.

    Ive seen stalls in festivals trying to get a boycott against coca cola and to me the evidence doesnt seem that strong after reading through all the leaflets they gave out .

    I think coca cola is a drink thats bad for you so you are better off not drinking it, but I think there are far better companys and governments you could target .

    I think its being attacked because its big and american and not really for what it as a company is doing

    I love diet coke (never pepsi) I drink at LEAST 1 can a day I am addicted to it and will never give it up. I can't even be asked to try to give it up that is not an option for me it is pretty harmless as far as I am concerned. :p

    I do not purchase any coca-cola products. No fruitopia, barq's, sprite, sprite remix, coke, diet coke, cherry coke, lemon coke, lime coke, vanilla coke, Coke Zero, minute maid, powerade, dasani water, dasani raspberry water, dasani lemon water, Crush, Canada Dry Gingerale, Alive, Five Alive, Dr. Pepper, Mello Yello, Nestea, Schweppes, Evian, Fanta, Full throttle, and... that's all I can think of.

    I used to work at 3 different jobs that sold coca-cola products, but now I refuse to do so anymore. I have started boycotting food places and restaurants that serve coca-cola as well. I continue to boycott coca-cola products with pride. They made it exceptionally difficult if not impossible to boycott everything they produce, advertise, affiliate with, and are associated with.

    Here is Coca-Cola's total brand list - and make note that Coca-Cola does not have a drink that starts with the letter 'X' in the english alphabet as of yet:
