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

Coke is shit now, fascism soda. Relationship ended with Coke, Pepsi is new best soda.

Weirdest part to me is that I really can't believe that he's drinking Diet Coke and not regular Coke. I know there's concerns about diet sodas, but that shows a concern about his health and what he puts in his body that I never imagined Trump was capable of.

Naw, I think it's because he specifically enjoys diet coke more. If I want a soda, it's diet coke or nothing. I'm in good health, but diet coke tastes great while regular coke almost makes me feel ill from the thick syrup.

Same. The only thing that calms the beast that lives in my soul is the sweet embrace of aspartame. I cant even really drink mixed drinks with non diet soda. Sugar Free Redbull and Vodka just hits so good.

My behaviors shouldn't be emulated 😅

Let me get this right. He's winning a paper commercial label with gum on it?

Who did Coke order a genocide on? A bit extra for a every day bribe.

Coca Cola is so problematic the problems have their own wiki page.

Truth be told, I'd 100% prefer headlines like this over other nonsense that goes on.

[–] kryptonidas@lemmings.world 30 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The headline is still: “Company sucks up to Trump because line must go up” no different than most.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's misleading

This is the first diet coke, not the first inaugural coke.

So "Company continues its tradition with making a special inaugural coke bottle"

Them not doing it would be more of a political statement

They're doing it in a harmless way and getting cheap publicity from playing him. Honestly this doesn't bug me nearly as much as the donations.

[–] GreenAppleTree@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I admire the hustle.

"Lol look at those suckers spending millions and not even getting a mention in the footnote. We printed a label and a fancy box, $20 tops, got a free photo op and a smile out of old boy himself. I expect a 300% pay rise next year."

They look like they want to hold hands

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago

Hands above the table, trembling with desire.

Im guessing besides knowing how this guy like kiss ups there is also things like this are bought for air force one so maybe hes trying to make a sale.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever there's a new photo I zoom in to see how old/senile/dead he looks. Most of his publicity photos are 8 years old and he's aged a lot since then.
