From the same page (unrelated comment): "Not long ago, we came up with an interesting set of facts: A billion hours ago, human life appeared on Earth. A billion minutes ago, Christianity emerged. A billion seconds ago, the Beatles changed music forever. A billion Coca-Colas ago was yesterday morning." Goizueta knew his marketing stuff (wasn't he one of the biggest Coca-Cola's presidents?).
- rw 18y agoCoca-Cola is also one of the finest examples of the "Be Evil, Don't Care" philosophy. And it could work for you, too, if you're willing to sell your conscience.
- ovi256 18y agoConscience? I don't think I ever had that. Damn, I could have sold it if I had though. (Spoken with a go-getter CEO voice)
- stcredzero 18y agoCan you have a mortgage for one?
- antiismist 18y agoCan you explain why Coca Cola is evil? They make things that people want (I know I do) at a very reasonable price.
- rw 18y agoAnti-union violence in Latin America.
- antiismist 18y agoIs it fair to say that you think coca cola is evil because they do business with corrupt latin america bottlers? That's cool if that is your belief, but where do you draw the line? Coca Cola is evil because they do business with evil people. Yahoo is evil because they accept advertising from Coca Cola. Companies that get acquired by Yahoo are evil because a part of the $$ they get is blood money?

- Tichy 18y agoThey make people want poison and sell it to them?
- antiismist 18y agoYes, it is bad in large quantities over an extended period of time. Is that all it takes to be evil? If so almost everything qualifies.
- Tichy 18y agoNot only in large quantities, plus it is addictive (sugar). Note that they started out with cocaine, back in the day. Sure, different times, but still... I don't want to argue about the healthiness of coke, though. If you want to drink it, by all means, go ahead. It is your life, not mine.
