Oh Oh Coke will be the right wing's bugaboo this year

America the Beautiful ad that had people singing in many languages, multicultural scenes and a pair of gay fathers at the end. Cheerios will be a lesser Satan for them now.

They don't like it.

"All hail the one world order."
"Waste of 30 seconds. They should have showed the commercial with veterans."
"What are we the United Nations of America?"
"Anyone trying to make Coke ineligible under SNAP will be called a racist now."
"I just sent them an email saying I will not buy coca cola again. I don’t drink soda but I bought it for my grown daughter. She will now drink Pepsi."
"I will be emailing them. This is America...we speak English. I won’t assimilate to them. They need to assimilate."
"Tone deaf. Either they didn’t test market it, or they don’t care that it’s offensive to many."

LOL
