- catalogia 7y agoAnd yet many choose to abstain. The advertising is a problem and should be banned, but that's not reason to dehumanize consumers by denying their agency. People do have a choice and they should be reminded of that at every opportunity.
- WalterBright 7y agoI drank a lot of coke until about 10 years ago, when I stopped. The first year was difficult, after that I was not tempted anymore. The advertising has no effect on me. I have drunk a couple cans since, but didn't particularly care for the sticky, syrupy taste, and did not resume the habit.
