They removed GMOs from their product line. I think we can possibly get Coca-Cola to change theirs, too. Go back to the sugar cane formula. Hell, it could even open relations back up with Cuba if it's done right.

I of course don't drink soda that much at all, and this commercial didn't make me want to, but it's a touching commercial.

Who cares if they care? demwing Feb 2014 #52

Their message was about selling Coke. Vashta Nerada Feb 2014 #53
