I really hope this won't become some sort of tradition now

Continuing a proud tradition.

Fanta originated in Nazi Germany because they couldn’t source the ingredients for the Coke recipe.

Hide-the-pain Trump?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A propaganda boy, and in more than one sense.

The next four years are going to be very interesting to watch. If the first try was disastrous, the second is poised to be even worst.

America, you were once a country that could muster respect.

Far, far, away.

I'm a "no, Pepsi isn't ok" guy, but I'm never drinking Coke again. Because from now on it tastes like kissing Trump's ass.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, gave up Pepsi over their continued involvement in Russia, now I'm giving up Coke over their involvement with a Russian stooge.

I'm at RC right now.

[–] nevaseerius@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do yourself a favor and drink water instead. Your teeth and testicles will thank you

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 1 day ago

I second this.

Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm gonna piss on his grave.

I'll do rhyming later.

Everyone is lining up to kiss his puckered arsehole.

[–] trouble@lemm.ee 47 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I doubt it’s puckered at that age unfortunately

Wow he looks bad. Did he lose a bunch of weight? He looks frail. And a lot older.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago

Celebratory cocaine

[–] TheBraveSirRobbin@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I hope he's ok for 2-3ish years. Vance having a real chance at 10 years as POTUS is terrifying

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I was about to say "Vance is such a weak personality he could never be elected" and then i remembered how useless the Dems are so who fucking knows.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He's guaranteed because the Republican-led states will make sure he gets their EC votes regardless of how the populace actually votes. There will be nothing to stop them any more.

Lol morons paying this dude a million and Coke comes in with a 5 dollar commemorative.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure they paid for this massive photo op in more than a single bottle of coke.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 1 points 33 minutes ago

Yeah. 5 dollars more (the commemorative, duh) 😂

[–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Lmao right? This cost them nothing. A graphic designer probably whipped this up in a few minutes, print, stick on a bottle, done.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

It cost them at least one lifelong customer.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 83 points 2 days ago (3 children)

It was a lot of people's jobs for months now creating some special bottle and box for this PR moment... none of this should exist. It reminds me of stories about the Middle Ages, where people would come before the king and shower them with gifts to make sure they are appeased.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Apparently Coke does this shit for every presidential elecrion and governors too but this is the only time it was diet and hand delivered by the ceo.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

A graphic designer could whip that up after lunch.

He'll need a NASCAR type jacket, featuring all of his sponsors. I just can't keep up anymore.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 2 days ago (7 children)

We need that for all the politicians. Only a tiny handful would have blank jackets.

The old gang's getting back together!

[–] harrybo93@lemmy.world 64 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Never seen him looking so fucking old and wrinkled

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 70 points 2 days ago (5 children)

To be fair, he is older than ever before.

Actually I think some of it is the weight he's lost recently.

But I am looking forward to him being dead, yes.

Marketing rule #1, know your market. Note that you don't need to actually need to have taken marketing classes to know this. So congratulations on doing what anyone with more than two brain cells could figure out, ya rich CEO jackass.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 27 points 2 days ago

It's pathetic watching these bootlickers

Apparently someone loves to lick boots and give some a handie under the table.
