The attention led both #BoycottCocaCola and #BoycottPepsi to trend on Twitter Friday, with many swearing off products from both.

  1. Russia and China are Coca Colas biggest customers. After getting all "woke", everyone I know dropped Coke like a bad habit. I didn't even know Pepsi sold to Russia...

    1. Not to mention the health Nazis trying to ban soda for years. I can see where both companies might tell the US market to take a flying leap.

    2. Tom, Pepsi was the first to sell in Russia years ago. They took Stolichnaya Vodka in payment for Pepsi concentrate. That's how Stoly first came to the U.S. market.

  4. I quit drinking their poison years ago. And when I drink bourbon or scotch it's always on the rocks.

  6. Yeah, I tried quitting coke when they went woke. I'm back on it again. I think coke puts something addictive in their products. Quitting coke is like trying to quit smoking.
