Coke Gets Healthy—Sort Of

In our age of self-indulgence, social responsibility is struggling for a come-back. But cocacolalogo.gifthis much is simple. Children and adults who drink too many soft-drinks risk obesity. This well-publicized news is not lost on Coca-Cola Company, which just launched a new “make every drop count” campaign with a full page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal. The ad cites their new religion as:

  • We’re committed to offering products that answer your needs
  • We’re committed to supporting physical activity
  • We’re committed to help you make informed choices about nutrition
  • We’re committed to listening to your wishes in our advertising practices

And of course, Coca-Cola offers healthier juice drinks in their product line, including Dasani water and Simply Orange. While Marketing Blurb applauds this effort, consumers are ultimately responsible for their own food choices. So choose wisely, and skip the cola--forever.
