I'd be pissed if I drank Coke.
Dr. Pepper master race.
Whelp, on to Pepsi, I suppose.
Why? Why in the hell would you want anything to do with this man? You're a wonderful soft drink company already. Do you want to become the most loathed?
I'm 100% sure that there will be promos between Coca Cola and Cod.
Article says he's a new director, not the CEO. Difference!
if you want sales to go up, put the fucking coke back in Kotick
What? THE Bobby Kotick?
He isn't the CEO, he was voted as one director.
I don't get it, the part you bolded even said he was a director, how did you miss that.
bubbles dlc only $9.99
Whatever, as long as the price doesn't change and the flavor stays the same.
He isn't even CEO, he's just gonna help with PR over new media like the internet.
Do I have to buy Coca Cola Elite to drink Coca Cola every month now?

Welp, did not noticed
PM'd a mod so i hope for a title change soon..
Cod'a'Cola?
Well, I'm glad cola tastes like absolute shit mixed with sugar to me, but man I'd feel terrible right now if I was drinking it regularly or something.
So basically he's a disposable business man that could be appointed to any company and does have any practical knowledge about products.
Oh wait, we knew that already.
