Dear Mr Coca-Cola,
Have you lost your ethical compass? Touting Coke as the drink to bring your family together at dinner time? Seriously?
With type 2 diabetes ranked as an epidemic I find it reprehensible that you would suggest we should be drinking pop instead of a nutritious beverage with our meals.
I drink Coke, at parties. It’s a treat. Not a family dinner beverage.
Because of your commercial and your obvious lack of caring about the health of your customers I am never drinking Coke again. I know that you won’t miss me, but I can sleep at night. Can you?
Yours truly,
Mairlyn Smith PHEc
Way to go Mairlyn. My Mom and I were discussing this only yesterday. How low will corporations go to sell a product? I fear we haven’t come close to the bottom yet.
Rock on, Mairlyn! Yep, I love how caffeinated sugar-hit beverages are what a loving mother serves to her family at the end of the day, the kids will settle down easy-peasy: it even slays a techno-monster? Really? It doesn’t MAKE a monster or two?!
I agree with Mairlyn totally. I was shocked to see the big bottle of coke for the dinner table. This ad should be pulled immediately. I love classic coke and it is a treat, not a daily beverage. Please replace this ad with something more suitable. You are the best after all! Karen
Hi Marilyn: I like your views. I watch cityline and love your attitude. I took Home Ec. in school, cooking and sewing. I learned a lot about eastern european cooking from “The Joy of Cooking”, you know the one. I am now hoping to buy your book. My kids all cook and enjoy it. I am on a low fat, low sugar diet and use the splenda/sugar blend a lot when I bake. What is your attitude re: artifical sweeteners? Please do not publish my name. Tanks

I tHought the same thing when I saw it the first time. I don’t think it was even appropriate 10 or 15 years ago……before “some” knew better
No comment
Love your “addicted” sister BUT……I too thought it was kind inappropriate! Well……kind of LOL
Rock on Mairlyn I am with you one hundred percent – strange commercial at best not one of their better ones
totally agree mairlyn! i don’t drink coke, never have, but i’m thinking of taking it up so i can then boycott it! reprehensible advertising on coke’s part. what i will do is boycott any product they are even remotely connected to. love ya mairlyn, keep up the good fight.
kerry.
I thought it was bad enough a few years ago when Coke started pushing their product for a breakfast drink instead of coffee. I’m still surprised when I visit the U.S. how many people are drinking a can of coke at breakfast!
