I've been seeing a lot of these across Berlin. Are US brands feeling nervous about their American image? 馃馃馃

Probably. I'm Canadian and Coca-Cola is about the only American thing I still buy.

I always stated that I'm addicted to Coke Zero. I never took anything else, and in bars that only had the US competitor, I ordered a juice.

But since the fascist actions of Trump, I moved to non-US brands. And I find that my caffeine fix is just as easily satisfied with Coke that costs half the price.

It was meant as a temporary political statement, but when Trump is replaced, I will wonder if I am still willing to pay a 100% premium to get the 'real' thing.

@Techaltar Does that actually work on people? I doubt anyone on this planet would think of Coca Cola as anything but US.

No way they can win that marketing war when fritz-kola exists.

(fritz is also a better cola)

@Techaltar likely. Some US brands have taken to labeling their products with Canadian maple leaf logos here in Canada.

@Techaltar They are afraid in losing their way of thinking that "they are the center of the universe and everyone that says anything against that is wrong".
