I got the inspiration for this when I was going through all my old images when migrating to Immich.
Left-to-right: A coffee container, A Coke bottle with the label taken off, A pasta sauce jar, a coke can with the top removed with a can opener.

not to, because they have illegal bottling plants in the West Bank
Okay - how about if it were a homemade cola prepared in a sodastream style and the aluminum can in the right were sourced from a recycling center to reduce waste (and the others vessels are thrift ware)
Can you express a preference in that case? (I get the point you're making, fine; but at least answer the question they're about the aesthetic of the containers)
Sodastream is an Israeli company
A) Your point? Just because a government has done evil things doesn't mean its people are evil. Unless you want to demonstrate that sodastream is under direct influence of their government, this is just guilt by association.
B) Did I say we were using a Sodastream? We're using a home made CO2 device connected to a food grade bottle that we use to fizz the drink - we just use the same screw thread size as the sodastream product because it's currently popular.
Relax. It's not that serious.
You said soda stream, so I assumed soda stream. Big whoops on my part.
If you care about things like Coke being evil, then you should care about things like money flowing into countries whose governments are evil and benefit from that flow via export taxes.
In my opinion, the original post was "some guy" reviewing their pics and asked "which of these beverage container photos is most photogenic?" - a super casual question, and @[email protected] said "Coke-Cola is evil!" - which is absolutely true.
I tried to carefully reword the question to ask it in an unbranded way - what is @[email protected]'s thoughts if we push past the corporation=bad thought stopper. However I failed - and you, @[email protected], jumped on the new thought stopper "sodastream". I can't say I believe sodastream is as evil as Coke™, but they're also certainly not angels. I'm sure you can argue that case.
But the question wasn't about really about Coke. The question definitely wasn't about SodaStream. The question @[email protected] was asking is "Which drink vessel of mine do you like?" And I don't think you two answered that part of the question. I do love the anti-capitalist messages - but would it hurt either of you to throw Armond1 a bone in your reply to address the aesthetical question they're asking?
That's your only reason?
The flavour is just not for me, I don't like the taste of apartheid and genocide
I already disliked the taste of stealing water and exploiting brown people, but that was fine with you? Coca Cola has millions of reason to boycott already before it continued to be an evil corporate cunt and join the next evil thing.
Yeah in addition to the BDS argument, Coca Cola is the worst plastics polluter in the world:
