Thread: I've Drank My Last Bottle of Coca-Cola, Now "Hecho En Mexico"....

I walked into my local Best Buy (in Coral Springs, FL) today to use up my gift card received for Christmas....low and behold, what did I see? A large wooden stand of our all-American brand of Coca-Cola, packed in the nostalgic old-style glass bottles with the tops you need a bottle cap opener to get off...and the sign at the top of the stand said in bold black letters, as follows, "HECHO en Mexico". I picked up one of the bottles to look at the printing and it was over half in Spanish-as if Coca-Cola was a totally foreign brand and imported from Latin America historically to begin with. I went to the freezer case and picked up a regular plastic bottle of Coke that was all in English- I was so mad that maybe I missed it, but it didn't say the country of origin, only a number for questions-but I was looking to see if that bottle was made in Mexico also.

Coke is not only selling out our people by exporting jobs to a foreign country, but they are rubbing bilingualism in our faces.

With Pepsico not doing much better, switching to an off-brand of cola, making my own or doing without is looking pretty good.....

I plan to complain to the management.
