Coca Cola | The Adobo Chronicles

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Christian fundamentalist group American Family Association (AFA) has again reared it ugly anti-gay head by calling for a boycott of Coca-Cola.

Earlier the group urged its members not to accept mail that is postmarked with the Harvey Milk stamp, saying that the late first openly-gay elected politician fom San Francisco does not deserve to be memorialized in a postage stamp.

Today, the AFA called on its members and the consuming public to stop buying Coke products, or if they absolutely need to drink soda, to buy Pepsi instead.

It’s all about Coke’s extremely popular summer marketing campaign in which coke bottles are personalized with common names of people like Jane, Chris or Paul.

Well, it has come to the attention of AFA that Coca-Cola has been producing a lot of coke bottles with the names Adam and Steve. Placed side by side, these two bottles become an affront to the biblical characters Adam and Eve. “We’ve always maintained that God created man and woman, Adam and Eve, not man and man, Adam and Steve,” an AFA spokesperson said.

Coca-Cola has not returned calls from The Adobo Chronicles seeking comment on the boycott.

Atlanta, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) – Coca Cola’s most ambitious promo campaign to date is coming back to haunt the giant soda company, and its rival Pepsi is reaping all the benefits.

As summer season began, Coca Cola started rolling out its promo campaign titled ‘Share a Coke.’ It involves the production of limited edition coke bottles that replace the coke logo with popular names like Anna, Justin and Zack.

There is one problem: Coca Cola’s name database has only 250 entries, and that production of the special bottles is not possible if a person’s name is not in the database.

As a result, millions of disgruntled soda consumers whose names are not on Coke’s list are now switching to Pepsi.

Luckily for The Adobo Chronicles, we found our name on Coke’s database.
