RobertSupreme Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 http://www.colalife.org/ Maybe I'm just being too untrusting but this really sickened me when I saw it. On the other hand it's good they're doing something worthwhile for once but this clearly is nothing other than a marketing ploy. There's not a snowballs chance in hell that I'm now going to associate their products with wholesomeness and good ethics or whatever else they're trying to pull because of this.

acesfull Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 even if they are helping people, it still doesnt change the fact that the poisons they produce and pander to the masses are completely devoid of any nutritional value. they are and have been undermining the health of millions, maybe billions of people for many years, and no amount of deceptive ad campaigns is going to make that go away.

Vegan Joe Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I don't think Coke is to blame unless this a "mole" driven idea.But lets face it: putting 2 bottles of Gatorade in a case of coke to remedy "dehydration" in developing countries, only allows Coke to make greater inroads with their junk. Not to mention it's like dispensing a pill to cure a disease, without eliminating the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Ok obviously Coke is a poor company, but where is the personal responsibility? They are simply making a product that people are buying. The consumer is equally as bad as the producer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Rehydration salts? What are those? Sounds like an oxymoron.. You know, like Dodge Ram. Since Coca Cola is a multi-billion dollar company they should be using some of that dough to give back. I just don't know enough about this campaign to have an opinion on it.

Thats a point in developed countries yes but how are the people of the third world countries where this campaign is targeted going to learn about Coke?
