    Oh for sure!

    In Denmark, Coca Cola is in full damage control trying to highlight that they are produced in Denmark and thus is basically as Danish as our native brands, but it is an uphill battle since Coca Cola is basically THE American brand.

    To be honest I don’t know how well they’re succeeding in their damage control… But I’m getting a sense they are suffering…

      Huh? Even if it’s produced in Denmark, how can some of the revenue not be going back to the US where Coca Cola is based?

      Edit: Yep, Carlsberg Danmark pays royalties and licensing to The Coca Cola Company in the US. They also buy the syrup concentrate from the US (or its subsidiaries).

      So it is most definitely a US product that is being “finished” in Denmark, with a lot of revenue going to the US.

      Kraft is doing the same here in Canada. Just means its working. Theyre worried about losing their market.

      I dont care what happens now. I will never buy American again unless I have no choice and cant do without.
