Coca-Cola Faces Boycott Calls over Not Allowing ‘Trump 2024’ or ‘Jesus’ on Cans
SUMMARY
Coca-Cola is facing boycott calls after social media users discovered the company allegedly blocked the personalization of cans with messages like “Trump 2024” and “Jesus,” while allowing phrases such as “Harris Walz 2024,” “Satan,” and “Allah,” according to reports from the Daily Mail. While some messages supporting religious and political figures were allowed, users noted a “glitch” that prevented certain names, prompting backlash online. Libs of TikTok highlighted the issue, showing a contrast between messages like “Trump 2024” and “Jesus” being rejected, while others like “Harris Walz 2024” were approved. Coca-Cola cited its policy against approving messages that are political, religious, or potentially offensive, stating that trademarked names or phrases may require additional context for approval. Many online, including comedian Tim Young, have called for a boycott, accusing the company of bias against Christianity.
