I hope Germans are smarter than that. Also, Daniel is not the most German name they could have found, I am sure a Klaus or a Reinhardt would have worked better. Unless Daniel is an American employee conceived in Germany by his parents and the tagline refers to him.

Also, here in Denmark and in Italy Coca-Cola relies on local bottling companies who would surely lose volumes, but those would be also freed up for local or do-good alternatives, such as Fritz Cola (which is very good in it's zero calories version) and Gaza Cola (yeah, that's probably never gonna happen in Germany, but still a good example).

I've been a proud supporter of nothing but Faxe Kondi since the orange clown got into office. Pretty much looked over all of my consumption habits.. something I should've done before but rather late than never
