Looks like ARMY does have something they hate: Coca-Cola.

I care less about this than anything in recent memory

The controversy stems from Coca-Cola’s ties to “Israel” and its inclusion on the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement’s list.

One of the biggest pop culture fandoms on the planet is using their collective voice to speak out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. That’s a pretty cool story as far as I’m concerned.

Wow ARMY turning on one of the BTS members. I never thought that could be possible.

Why is the word “Israel” in quotes like that?

I feel like Grandpa Simpson reading this headline.

I guess this is how having a stroke while reading feels like, I can really wrap my head around why this is even important, what’s the relationship between Gaza and Coca Cola Zero. I feel like I’m reading something from a future distant enough to not be able to comprehend the context, but near enough to still read like the same language.
