[QUOTE=TokinBC;34733042]From now on I drink water and coffee.[/QUOTE]
Most bottled water is coca cola owned so Coffee or tap water for you
and not a single thing changes about coke. people need to calm down about this, seriously the worst thing that can happen is that COD stuff gets on the bottles for a month or two after a COD launch.

So its the his fault people are addicted to his crap therefor making his current plan a massive success in the industry which is unrivaled by anything else?
Blame the community, Kotick's job is to make money, and what he has been doing is successful so far.
Even Pepsi is better than Coke, and Pepsi (unless cherry) tastes like dirty water.

Although he has ruined the COD franchise, you ant deny that he is a business genius for getting people to buy the same game every year for 60 bucks.

MIPs was basically calling bullshit on him being an entrepreneur and having a good brand expertise. As I said, Kotick is a fucking genius to get COD to sell like it does.
Doesn't make the game good, though.

Nobody here likes cod, but how does that make Kotick a bad person for doing the best he can for his company.
eh, Dr. Pepper is the intellectual drink for the chosen.

Dr Pepper tastes like crap and makes me feel bloated after drinking it.

Enjoy the bold new delicious taste of Cherry coke, now the coke is red instead of Black! Only $60 per 12 pack!
Wait what?
Not no, not hell no, but FUCK no.
Get this bastard away from my cola!
[QUOTE=Sanius;34731116]nobody would like soda if it wasn't forced onto them by advertising execs. people barely even know what's in most soda and what it does to your body.[/quote]
You know, that's the odd thing. I never once have had an advertising exec hold my family hostage unless I bought a coke, or try to force me to at gunpoint. I could have sworn I bought the stuff because I liked the flavor.
Hell, for that matter, I haven't even seen a commercial for coke [i]since I was fucking twelve years old.[/i] I'm 22 now. It's been ten years since I can remember seeing any sort of ad for coke. I fail to see how they could possibly be forcing me to buy coke when I haven't seen or heard them in that long.
But hey, I guess they can just telepathically force me to buy cokes against my will, right?
Oh, and don't give me the whole 'But they're addictive' line. Because that's bullshit in my case. I can and do stop drinking them for months at a time, usually switching to Dr Pepper or some lemon-lime soda(Sprite, 7-up or Mountain Dew depending on price). I don't get any withdrawl symptoms, I don't get any cravings, I don't experience a change in personality, and I definitely don't depend on them to function. On top of that, if there's a gallon of milk in the fridge, my cokes will go 100% untouched until that gallon of milk is gone. Same goes for lemonade. So addiction is not a factor in my consumption of coke.
[quote]the fact that you're all getting up in arms over this guy directing management or whatever is fucking ridiculous.[/quote] This much I do agree with. But this? [quote] you're completing ignoring the fact that coca cola produces and normalizes poison[/QUOTE]
Coca Cola does not produce or normalize poison. If you don't like it, fine. But don't go spreading stupid fucking rumors like this. There's nothing in a can of coke that's outright toxic. It's only when you drink the damn things in excess that problems happen, and news flash, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_poisoning]you can fucking overdose on water.[/url] Coke, when consumed in moderation like you're supposed to, does exactly 0 harm to the body. When consumed in moderation it doesn't make you fat, it doesn't make you addicted, it doesn't poison you. It only has these adverse effects when you drink too goddamn many of them in a given time span, and that holds true for every single beverage you can drink.
Don't be stupid. Coke is not, and has not been since cocaine was banned in the 1920s, a 'poison'. You're welcome to not drink it because you don't like the taste but don't go spreading stupid rumors that have no basis in fact.
he's like one of them stereotypical 80's shark businessmen that never went away:

The only way that image could be perfect is if the cans and the refreshment level meter blended in with the game like anything else.
But oh man, they fit so well :v:

And if New Coke was anything to go by, that's precisely what Coca-Cola needs in an exec. And honestly, I'd rather have him there than at Activision.[/QUOTE]
Everyone (who is outraged) is outraged because he is an evil bastard in business politics from a consumer point of view.
I just find it increadibly weird this side of him...
Well he's completely the wrong kind of person to head a video game publisher, but if there's one thing he does well it's selling rehashed things to stupid people

Are you seriously [b][u]THAT FUCKING RETARDED?![/u][/b]
I mean shit, I realize soda isn't real good for you but there isn't a single case of [b]anyone[/b] dying because of a bottle of Coke. Not even people with fucking diabetes have died because they decided they wanted something fizzy.
Even when I was slamming down 6-8 liters of Mountain Dew a day back in my freshman year of high school, I felt like I could take on an entire nation's army.

let's take everything extremely literally and get mad for no reason
well, Cola does have potassium phosphate, which is absolutely [B]abysmal[/B] for you, mainly because it degrades calcium in bones
same with Monster or any other general "dark-colored drinks"
hell i can't even stand energy drinks mainly because they smell terrible to me, and then comes the possible cardiovascular issues
Meh, all I drink is Pepsi.
Should probably drink more milk or something...

neither is really good for you.
I used to drink soda almost exclusively up until about six years ago. I felt groggy and terrible all day. started cutting down on soda and eventually stopped drinking it all together, drinking mostly water and only a couple of cups of coffee every day. now I feel a thousand times better and I'm also no longer a fat slob

I've noticed you're damn near impossible to please.
What, should I just drink tea, water, eat nothing but veggies and only save meat for once a month?
Because in quite a few food related threads that's what it seems like you want some people to revert to.
Sorry if this comes off as some sort of attack but really... 90% of the time when I see you talking about food, there's always something in there that says it's bad for you.
You sound like a vegetarian.
