At least its as a director and not chairman/CEO. Coca Cola as a brand is already well known (probably THE most well know and widespread) & has a very positive image. Him joining can really only bring it down.....Hope he has no voting rights and none of the others know what COD is LOL

I'm sure they are aware of the money that product pulls in.

He'll probably discontinue all of the least popular drinks. It'll just be coca-cola from now on.

I've been free of coca-cola for years now... Caramel food colouring makes you stink.

Thank goodness he can't make my can of soda online-only.

I don't get all the hate. Sure he's made some stupid comments, but this would be like stop going to the legendary smoked meat Schwartz's sandwich shop where I live because Celine Dion bought the place. As long as the sandwich making procedures don't change, I don't care. ???????????????????????????????

I'll take the wait and see approach. Don't know anything about the guy, who is he?

Unfortunately if they hadnt heard of it til now, they will soon :/

Is there any chance to see Coca-Cola CoD edition?

He has strongly promoted the uncreative, risk-averse sequelitis in the games industry as well all those "annualized" franchises, where they keep releasing the essentially same game year after year. When the market eventually gets oversaturated, the franchises are simply left to die. He practically killed the music game genre which I happened to like.

From Wikipedia:

Kotick has at times been a controversial figure in the gaming community. In part this can be attributed to advocating a business strategy focused on only developing intellectual property which can be, in his words, "exploited" over a long period, to the exclusion of new titles which cannot guarantee sequels. In responding to why Activision Blizzard chose not to publish certain games following the Activision/Blizzard merger, he stated that focusing on franchises that "have the potential to be exploited every year on every platform with clear sequel potential and have the potential to become $100 million franchises" has "worked very well for Activision Blizzard". Kotick described this business strategy as "narrow and deep" or "annualizable" and cited it as key to attracting development talent who may not be drawn to "speculative franchises".

That was done decades ago. Since then it's been caffeine-cola.
Or Call of Duty (or World of Warcraft) with Coca-Cola ads.

Does eating caramel make you stink too?
It's close to a century actually. :P

Coca-cola contains caramel food colouring, which fucks with your sweat. If people aren't coming near you, it's probably because you stink of food colouring, seriously.

Give the coke a rest for a couple of days and you might smell an improvement.

But not only that, coke and pepsi are just so bad for you. Phosphoric acid can melt through bone, why the hell would you drink it? I just always felt sick after drinking it.

I dunno. Maybe it's just me. I just stick to water, coffee, beer and juice now. No coca-cola goes down my gullet and it never will.
Caramel food colouring isn't made from caramel. It's just caramel coloured.

Get a piece of caramel and burn it, it'll go black, much like coke (do it outside though!!).
