Coke’s New Bottle Cap Doesn’t Come Off so Does the Weight You Gain From Drinking Coke
Is it just for publicity or does Coke really care for the environment?
Who can forget the iconic Hilltop Coke commercial? Anyone from my generation would remember not only the commercial but will sing along with ‘I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke.’
I’d like to buy the world a home And furnish it with love Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow white turtle doves
Not only did it make us drink Coke, but we also believed we can live in a better world, one where we all get along well regardless of color, race, or gender.
Here we are in 2022, more disconnected. And almost two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. I don’t know if it is from drinking too much soda, but here are some fun facts, revenue in the soft drinks segment amounts to US$333.90bn in 2022.
We buy Coke, but it feels like there is little we can do about the world.
Did I make you sad that you would like to drink a bottle of Coke? Go for it!
Coca‑cola begins introduction of attached caps
Speaking of Coke bottles, it has a new design one that the bottle cap doesn’t come off because many of us chew on them. Kidding!
It is because many don’t throw plastic bottles properly and if we do, we forget the bottle cap which is also made of plastic, that goes to our landfills and stays there forever or ends up in the ocean.
Over the last 30 years, more than 20 million bottle caps and lids were found during beach cleaning activities around the world.
Currently, it is unknown how many bottle caps actually enter our oceans and wash up onshore. Plastic bottle caps are made of hard plastics and degrade very slowly.
But is it out of the goodness of their corporate heart, a small token to help save Mother Earth or a publicity stunt?
Like anything in today’s world, not everything is as it seems.
Coke can do much better, it isn't a mom-and-pop company that can only afford a token solution when it is very much part of the problem.
And about the weight gain from drinking Coke, let’s check what science has to say about it.
Consuming too much soda may lead to weight gain, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions.
And now there is new proof that diet soda, well, can also make you fat.
Not much to say at the end, let me share more lines from ‘I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke.’
I’d like to buy the world a Coke And keep it company It’s the real thing
Our environment needs saving, climate change is real, and we can’t escape the consequences of how we have treated Mother Earth and that’s the real thing.
