blimey it's like being on a teen girls FB page

PiperIsOrange · 19/10/2014 19:44

The end of the ad says she has a new album out, so it's a bit of advertising for her.

SistersOfPercy · 19/10/2014 19:49

YAB COMPLETELY U all of you!

Everyone knows Vanilla Coke is where it's at.

You are so far beyond wrong that wrong is a tiny dot on the horizon that you need binoculars in order to see.

Lemon.

That's the only thing that works with coke.

That and rum.

Raspberry coke...that's where the shit is at

TheSpottedZebra · 19/10/2014 19:57

Raspberry coke?
What? WHERE?

SistersOfPercy · 19/10/2014 19:58

LEMON? RASPBERRY!?

Heathens the lot of you.

I always thought it was stoops so low, not swoops?

DoJo · 19/10/2014 19:58

In fairness Coke do have an appalling record when it comes to the environment, their workers and those who are unfortunate enough to live near their plants in some developing countries, so I would certainly not want to be associated with them.

Justanotherlurker · 19/10/2014 20:00

For the money is the obvious answer. Just the same as Micheal Jackson did or U2 promoting Apple, if your not wanting to be 'dissapointed' in public figures maybe look beyond pop stars for inspiration.

laurageordie · 19/10/2014 20:01

Wow of all the things I was going to be flamed at this surprises me.

No one here is aware of what a nasty company coke is and how unhealthy diet coke is. They are up there with nestle.

ArsenicChaseScream · 19/10/2014 20:02

Or down there with Nestle?

Swoops up low? Stoops down high?

Momagain1 · 19/10/2014 20:06

I wasnt aware that TS had ever presented herself as particularly pro-labor or a pseudo-nutritionist like Gwyneth Paltrow.

She is a pop star, doing the unsurprising things that pop stars do. If it bothers you, delete her MP3s, burn your CDs and write her management.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 19/10/2014 20:06

I'm well aware of Coca colas reputation but at the age of 26 I don't need anyone telling me what I can and can't drink...eat...or which companies I can use...and I couldn't give a shot who advertises them.

I only care that if Coca Cola dump Taylor Swift, she'll probably write a damn song about it

Now, I'm going back to my coke and toffee crisp that I bought from Tesco and am eating whilst shopping on Amazon

It is not the devil's blood.
I found samuel lee jackson advertising barclays much more disturbing

TheSpottedZebra · 19/10/2014 20:12

Educate us, o wise OP...

PiperIsOrange · 19/10/2014 20:16

Cherry coke is the best :)

Justanotherlurker · 19/10/2014 20:29

Is it only beverage companies your fighting against OP, do you have some magical PC/phone/tablet that is allowing you to post here that is powered by unicorns, no concern of rare earth metals or cheap labour?

PhaedraIsMyName · 19/10/2014 20:42

I think you mean "stoop so low"

That aside I don't really care.

So far as loss of artistic credibility she'd have to go a long way to trump Harvey Keitel doing cinema adverts for Direct Line insurance.

MooMaid · 19/10/2014 20:50

Ooooh yes Cherry Coke...... mmmmmmm

LosingAllTheLego · 19/10/2014 20:55

I agree that Coca Cola are an abhorrent company. For that reason I avoid their products

But if other people feel differently and want to buy their stuff, or even advertise it, then I really don't mind!

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/10/2014 21:03

Oh get a grip op.
