The New Coke of 2025

Genuine curiosity - how does that actually affect you? In other words, if Coca-Cola decided to release a statement that they supported some group or another, does that change the flavor of soda or the caffeine content?

Did Bud Light stop being beer when they jumped the shark with LGBT support, or was it just the fear of being associated with LGBT because the brand was?

I find myself - on the outside - wondering why supposed "conservatives" (broad brush term) get so upset when people and companies use their first amendment rights to do the capitalist thing and try and grow their customer base. In Bud Light's case, they shrank their large base and never grew the small one they were after, and the market punished them... but beyond that why do I care what any corporate board of directors wants to support if it doesn't change the product or value for me?

Because when other people lump everyone together as "communist child molesters," the only purpose is to cause division and hatred of an entire group based on an individual.

Unless, of course, all straight white conservative christians are the same violent threat as Timothy McVeigh. I hope you don't also think that grouping is appropriate.

I don't buy food for political ideology... unless I'm at Torchy's Tacos:

Democrat - Torchy's Tacos

BEEF BARBACOA, AVOCADO, COTIJA CHEESE, CILANTRO, DICED ONIONS AND A LIME WEDGE WITH TOMATILLO SALSA ON A CORN TORTILLA.

Republican - Torchy's Tacos

SMOKED BEEF BRISKET, BARBECUE SAUCE, CRISPY ONIONS, GRILLED CORN RELISH, CILANTRO WITH CHIPOTLE SAUCE ON A FLOUR TORTILLA.

Hint: I don't like avocado.

When anyone, political party, medical professional, school teacher, clergy, or business calls me horrific names for not buying into this illness called the LGBTQA+ community, and they seek to spread and legitimize this illness, they will NEVER have my support whether it be a dollar or a vote. I am neither conservative, nor am I liberal. I do however, draw the line when burning an American Flag is protected while burning a Pride Flag lands you in prison for committing an act of hate speech. If SA manufactures a pride themed firearm, they will never see another penny from me and I will cease my participation on this forum.

Years ago, Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice-cream used to be my go-to ice-cream treat. When I found out what kind of wack job liberal activists they are, and using proceeds from their ice-cream sales to promote their ideas, I immediately found another ice-cream brand for myself. I also don't buy Levi's anymore. The list can go on. The point is that some of us do care what companies do. And that goes for entertainers also.

Same here. Entertainers too. B. Springsteen, Robert Deniro, Jim Carrey no longer get my dollars. And I longer shop at Target.
