    Maybe people are realizing that real charity isn't about the glory it gets you.

    Or maybe it's just liberals being incoherent because they have no guiding principles besides freedom and equality, which conflict with each other since freedom means there won't be material equality.

    I like the Coca-Cola commercials going back to the early 70's with the peace and harmony theme. I don't think Coca-Cola should have removed this commercial made in Mexico.

    In the Good Old Days, conservative Christians had no problem with slavery and burning witches. There is nothing comedic about the tragedy that is the GOP.

    But then Conservative Christians modified their views. On the other hand, secular leftists have no problem today with government tyranny and worship at the altar of the "climate change" religion intending to enslave modern societies into their rigid thought patterns by silencing opposition, jailing dissenters and imposing Orwellian thought police to patrol for offensive microagressions and impose political correctness. These monsters have come to dominate a formerly free Democrat party.

    They won't increase their market share much in Mexico no matter what they do.

    Jarritos are better.

    You know what? all that nonsense is happening in Africa today and Muslims and fringe tribal religions are doing it...

    At least Christianity stopped that nonsense several 100 years ago...

    Of course you're speaking of the Spanish and the Salem Witch Trials which happened 300-400 years ago..

    In Africa do you know they tie alleged "witches" to poles and then put tires around them, dump gas on the so called witches and burn them alive?

    They also like to beat the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of the alleged witch, then basically build a bonfire on top of him or her, then burn the alleged witch that way... Oh and this is going on in this present day...

    But no you're not going to judge poor African's that burn witches or enslave people - that would be racist...

    As a sidenote to how tribal religions are doing over there, I'll just leave this story for all to peruse.

    Yeah, this planet is doomed.

    OMG, people need to stop getting offended at the drop of a hat. They would have really hated the Coke commercials of the 70's where they sang the song "I'd like to buy the world a Coke"......

    It is not the sugar or a different formula.

    It's the water. In the US, the water used for sodas comes mostly from melted ice and potable water sources. This water have few natural elements and also elements added like fluorine, etc.

    On the other hand, in Mexico and in other countries, the water used is from underground. This water has different elements inside, which are the ones that cause a different flavor.

    I do tasted the sodas in other countries, and they do taste "better" rather than just different, while the same sodas made in the US taste mostly like plain water and sugar..

    Using white people in a commercial for Mexico is not prejudiced it is just dumb advertising. It is common knowledge in advertising to advertise to your target market.

    You do know, you're not supposed to drink any water in Mexico unless its bottled and hopefully imported with English writing =) Bottled water all in Spanish might as well be from the tap.

    Yes it is. In the US in the 1970's Coke began switching from cane sugar to corn syrup as their sweetener. Mexico's Coke stayed with cane sugar. They may have switched relatively recently, but for years Americans who liked the old Coke tried to find ways to get it from Mexico.
