Just make sure your information is correct. Check your sources,.

Answer 5

The deeper you dig into the world of big business, the more confused and frustrated you'll become as you start to realize that one brand is actually owned by some other brand, or affiliated with some totally different company. It's like a complicated web of offshoots and secret deals and buyouts and mergers, until it feels like everything in the world might be owned by Bill Gates. Unless you are buying things only from very small, privately owned companies that don't sell stock, you can never be certain what or whom you're really supporting. That's why most people who worry about such things choose local businesses owned by people they know and trust, and never buy from mega-corporations.

Answer 6

Yes buy it. Coca Cola company may not be perfect. They strive to be good, they are good, they are American. BUY AMERICAN...BUY COKE..THE REAL THING.

Answer 7

How about just drink it if you like it. Stop worrying yourself to death over every little thing you can't possibly control. As for you who say that they exploit their workers - they would not have a JOB if coke was not around. I guess they were better unemployed and totally destitute just to ease your liberal guilt over everything.

Answer 8

No. You should drink Pepsi instead.

Answer 9

Recently a sample survey in India by dept. of food and drug administration of all colas sold in market , showed levels of pesticides above permissible limits. It was news in TV channels that Indian people are drinking slow poison with these colas. Both Pepsi and Coke. Judge yourself , what should you do with companies who play double standards and dont care for human life.
