But Pogba did the same with Heineken [1] (most likely because he is muslim) yet Heineken's stock price is rising? [2] So either Ronaldo has more influence than Pogba or the whole thing (Coke's stock) has nothing to do with Ronaldo. 1, https://twitter.com/goal/status/1405076977514582018 https://twitter.com/goal/status/1405076977514582018 2, https://www.google.com/finance/quote/HEIA:AMS https://www.google.com/finance/quote/HEIA:AMS

Most likely 2, but you can't put Pogba in the same sentence as Ronaldo when it comes to influence lol

  As someone who doesn't follow soccer or soccer news, I had to Google Pogba, but I already knew who Ronaldo was.

Just a fun little aside - Heineken introduced Heineken 0.0 a few years back, and as non-alcoholic beers go, it's the only one that doesn't taste "off". Even Athletic Brewing Company, as nice as it is to have non-alcoholic stouts and IPAs, hasn't nailed what Heineken has. (Incidentally, it was a 0.0 that Pogba removed from the table, so perhaps it wasn't the alcohol that bothered him)

  I normally don't have strong brand opinions but I have to say Athletic Brewing make the best non-alc hazy ipa and lager I've ever had. Before them I'd only have non-alc beer at events where people drink, now I'll have a few at home weekly.

  > Alcohol-free beer does contain a small amount of alcohol (up to 0.05% ABV). This is because some alcohol naturally forms as part of the brewing process. https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/alcoholic-drinks-and-units/difference-between-alcoholic-and-non-alcoholic-beers https://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/alcoholic-drinks-and-unit...

    At the level of Heineken 0.0, which is actually 0.03%, it should be noted that the alcohol content of most unwaxed ripe fruit is higher due to natural subsurface fermentation by wild yeasts. To my knowledge, Muslims do eat fruit.

  FWIW, someone poured me a can of Heineken 0.0 a few weeks back, telling me it was a Heineken and I immediately thought something was off about it. I just assumed it was really old or something (I was at a family member's place who doesn't drink and just keeps some beer around for guests), but when I actually looked at the can and saw what I was drinking, I realized why.

> So either Ronaldo has more influence than Pogba I am not even a soccer fan, and I know who Ronaldo is. This is the first time I have even heard of Pogba. So likely Ronaldo has more influence than Pogba.

Ronaldo is the number one by followers in instagram, I would also suspect has 10x the ad appearances and so on. (and again, not saying it affected the price, Ronaldo actually dissed Coke by saying 'Water', while Pogba did it mostly because of his faith, which carries a different weight)
