Coke Removes Labels During RamadanPretty wackyCoca-Cola is removing its logo from its cans of soda in the Middle East and plans to have the no-label cans run throughout the Muslim holy period of Ramadan.
One side of the can is blank –only featuring the company’s coloring. The other side reads: "Labels are for cans, not for people."
According to the Business Insider, Coca-Cola reportedly released a statement saying, "In a time when equality and abolishing prejudices is a hot topic for discussion around the world, how does one of the leading brands like Coca-Cola join in the conversation? In the Middle East, during the month of Ramadan, one of the world's most well-known labels has removed its own label, off its cans, in an effort to promote a world without labels and prejudices."
The “No Label” effort has been showcased in a series of videos encouraging viewers “This Ramadan see without labels.”

ReplyDelete"Ramadan" is a label. "Can" is a label. They're called "nouns".

ReplyDeleteOver half the people on earth see to real difference between colas or beers or politicians so usually orders of magnitude more money is spent on marketing than on product development/improvement.
ReplyDeleteMDH
Product development/improvement is by adding bourbon..
ReplyDeleteMaybe they can put the black flag of ISIS on it in a show of solidarity?
ReplyDeleteI think its quite clever and might attract some buzz.
ReplyDeleteHowever, they say labels ARE for cans - and then remove labels from cans... Isn't this a bit contradictory?
Just spread the rumour that Coke is not halal. That should help Pepsi.
