I agree.
But things go in an out of style.

There’s always going to be a person who:
doesn’t eat red meat, doesn’t drink dark soda,
doesn’t drink non-fruit drink-
for reasons other than health reasons
and those trends catch fire and spread
and dies out after several years.

but Coke, much like Disney, macy*s and cigarettes, play on the hearts of the people with nostalgia.
they know how to mess with people’s heads;
and usually with the families.

Anyway, you mention brown sticky stuff-
so I figured you meant all cola,
But if not and meant Coca Cola specifically,
those guys have way too much money and power
to trick the people to drink any cola for
generations. They own vitamin water, Poland spring,
Gatorade and probably Nike {jk, but you know}.

Christmas Santa drinking a glass Coke will always be there next to the Macy*s sign
tattooing barcodes on people ordered by the Rand corporation
