999tigger Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The red truck has been part of a lot of families Christmases. How sad is that! Christmas happened before Coke came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 What would happen if a Christian MP called for the end of the over indulgence of Muslims when they celebrate Eid? ---------- Post added 05-11-2015 at 09:58 ---------- How sad is that! Christmas happened before Coke came along. Yes but Coca-Cola have used their specific branding/advertising since the 1920's which will mean that for the vast majority of people in the world have known this for their entire life. Therefore its part of our culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagel Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 What would happen if a Christian MP called for the end of the over indulgence of Muslims when they celebrate Eid? I don't know if Nigel Keith Anthony Standish Vaz is a practising Christian, but he's from a Christian family via Goa. The name Vaz is from Portugal.

Obelix Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 What would happen if a Christian MP called for the end of the over indulgence of Muslims when they celebrate Eid Just before you dig your hole too deep - Vaz isn't Muslim. As far as I know he's a non practicing Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore its part of our culture. Despite the fact he's not muslim and is not making this a muslim issue... Coca Cola is an American brand, so you're saying that it's part of 'OUR' culture, meaning that our culture is Americanised already. The USA is the biggest threat to our cuture and way of life and has been for decades with the import of fast food/coffee shop/department stores. That opposition to one of the biggest American brands is seen as attacking 'our culture' shows how deeply rooted America is in our culture and way of life.

Do you also resent that say for example Indian food is a deeply ingrained part of our culture too now? Or is it just American things you don't like? They hooked me young, and whilst I don't drink much coke, and certainly don't consider it a Christmastime drink, I get a tiny little buzz of nostalgia and excitement when I hear that 'holidays are comin', holidays are comin'...' refrain and see the red truck on the adverts. I had no idea that they'd actually started driving them around and presumably selling coke from them.

Bert1 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Didn't Coca Cola create the stereotypical Santa we all know (red jacket, beard) or is that an urban myth? True in part. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/coca-cola-really-invent-santas-red-4775218 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
