The latest Coca Cola (obesity) ad is smug and disingenuous
In addition to being way too long!
The US based company will begin airing a two-minute advert during the highest-rated shows on American broadcasters CNN, Fox News and MSNBC in hopes of becoming a stronger voice in the debate over fizzy drinks and their impact on public health.
The commercial lays out Coca-Cola's track record of providing beverages with fewer calories and notes that weight gain is the result of consuming too many calories of any kind - not just from soft drinks.
Your choices are fake fruit juices, soft drinks sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, or aspartame in their sugar free drinks. The only healthy beverage they offer is water. I feel sorry for the millions of people who are addicted to Coca Cola.
