    Reminder that Coca-Cola first developed Fanta as a way to keep selling products in Nazi Germany.

    Coca Cola is a US company, so I’ve been boycotting it for years already. Fuck Trump and his little friends.

    And even if it wasn’t fot that, I also like diversity and options, and I was told this is what capitalism is great at providing. Instead, everywhere I go, I have to choose between the same 6 or 7 types of piss water, all owned by the Coca Cola company. No thanks, I’ll always prefer the local options and those from smaller beverage producers.

    I like cola soda though I don’t drink it that often.

    But I recently noticed the quality is very bad now. Regardless of brands or if diet or not.

    I tried a few after noticing how bad a diet coke tasted from my local gas station. So I bought some 2 liters. Generic. Pepsi. Diet pepsi. And a regular coke.

    I’m pretty sure it’s all shit now. I think I can tell easier because I don’t drink it that often.

    Like it’s not just watered down. Which it is. But the signature cola flavor is barely there.

    Cola uses coca beans. And that’s been a big import tarriff thing. Plus greedy companies. And I’m pretty sure they reduced flavoring by at least 30% since this time 2 years ago.

    Barely drinkable.

    If you drink it all the time, you might not have noticed the gradual change. But I assure you. It’s really lost it’s flavor.

    I’ve not noticed any change for fruit flavored white sodas. Just cola soda.

    highway patrol cops use Coke to clean blood off the highway, because it’s so acidic, apparently works well - this may be its best use
