Not even one product I buy. This boycott will be easy

Then it's not a boycott. And if you were never a customer, it doesn't affect their bottom line, anyway.

THEY dont know that

Yes, THEY do. The point of a boycott is that they see their profits dip. If you never bought this shit in the first place... I'm sure you see where I'm going.

They’ll still sell their products at schools and rest stop vending machines... so yeah, they won’t see it affect them much at all.

Like you pointed out, I’ve been boycotting them for years, because they’re poison and bad for your health... them hating my skin color just shows I got it right before it was ‘trendy’.

Think a little deeper here, what if this whole thing woke thing is an attack on Coca cola by Warren Buffett to make coca cola stock go down, so he can buy it up?

Maybe he can convince his kids/wife/friend to purchase some other rival product. Even if just for a couple of times, it would be a successful "boycott by proxy"!

What do you want him to do? Buy these products less than not at all? What an unnecessary comment.

Yer nuts.

Like kids who give up broccoli for Lent, it's no sacrifice. And it's no boycott to brag about if you don't buy the products, anyway.

That happens to be a fact. If you don't get it, that's your problem, but let people see how stupid you are. The only "unnecessary" comment was yours.

Thank gawd for the block button.

A single tear rolls down my cheek. Someone on the internet said something mean to me.

Of course, it does affect even if you are not a consumer of that product.

they (mass consumer products companies) make an average of production including the possible consumers who have never bought their product.

They will want to produce more and their sales will fall, which will be reflected in monetary losses.

Same here. I stopped drinking carbonated beverage/ soda almost 2 years ago. Black Coffee, unsweetened tea, water. A 5# bag of sugar lasts me 3-4 years.

That’s funny. The last time I had a friend over she wanted tea with a little sugar. My jar of sugar was a multi pound white.brick. I ended up taking a spoon and chipping some pieces off for her.

I only drink one type of carbonated beverage, it is the only reason I am up reading this right now in the middle of the night. A nasty cramp in my inner thigh muscle. The only thing that helps cramps in the middle of the night is Schwepps Tonic Water with Quinine, its the quinine that does the job.

A little gold colored can that is worth its weight in gold in the middle of the night when you have a nasty cramp. Right as you drink it you feel the blessed relief of the cramp fading away.

Good night, going back to bed now.

One can buy electrolyte powders to mix with water and flavoring agents of your choice to make a homemade sports drink, which may help in preventing those cramps to begin with. (potassium citrate for example - though make sure you use safe dosages only!)

I also have a mix I use to help reduce the severity of occasional gout flareups.

Yep i use sugar for baking about once a year and that's it. I live in florida and big sugar pisses me off. None of this shit is good for you. It's like heroine on the brain.

I stopped using it while caring for Ralph. Type 2 diabetic, one of the veterans I did home care for. Not "nursing" care. I had a busines-, Domestic Home Services. I'd go do housecleaning, laundry, meal prep, errands, wifey type shit for my veterans group. I dissolved the business when the last veteran I was caring for passed away.

Not as easy as the WNBA boycott?

Same here, but I see a few that I can work on getting our company to switch products on.

I'll just remind them of Dasani water

2004 - "Dasani was collected and purified tap water from Sidcup, a district of southeast London. As if this wasn't bad enough, later in 2004, dangerous minerals, including bromate, contaminated the water. Bromate was suspected by the medical field to possess carcinogenic properties. This contamination led to Coca Cola recalling half a million bottles of Dasani water, the entire stock that was in British circulation at the time. A huge blow to the company, this second scandal meant the end of Dasani in the UK. Coca Cola ended its campaign and retreated. Dasani was subsequently banned in the UK and still is."
