FACT CHECK: Does Coca-Cola Can Customization Allow Any Religious Name Except Jesus?
A post shared on Facebook claims the Coca-Cola customization tool allows customers to submit the name âAllahâ but not âJesus.â
Verdict: False
This post is inaccurate. The tool does not allow the name of any religious figures, including Allah.
Fact Check:
Coca-Cola recently recalled beverages that were labelled âzero sugarâ but actually contained sugar, according to the Daily Mail. 13,152 cases of Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade were incorrectly labeled, containing 40 grams of sugar, not zeroâthe same amount as the full sugar equivalent.
A Facebook post claims that Coca-Cola allows the name âAllahâ to be put in its can customization tool, but not âJesus.â The post includes a screenshot of the customization menu. (RELATED: Did Coca-Cola âCut Tiesâ With Taylor Swift After She Endorsed Kamala Harris For President)
The post shows a screenshot of an X post that reads, âBREAKING: Apparently Coca Cola doesnât support its Christian customers. Youâre allowed to put any religious name name on your custom can, except Jesus. This alone should be reason alone to boycott Coca Cola. Why should we support a company that is anti Christian?â
This claim is inaccurate, however. The customization tool does not allow âAllah,â or any religious figure, to be inputted. When one tries to, it displays a message that reads, in part, âLooks like the name you requested is not approved. Names and phrases may not be approved if they are trademarked, political in nature, names of countries, celebrities, religious figures, as well as anything that could be considered offensive for other reasons.â
