Coca-Cola Loses $4 Billion As Ronaldo Removes Soft Drink To Endorse Water by irririchris(m): 1:42am On Jun 16, 2021
Euro 2020: Coca Cola loses $4 billion as Cristiano Ronaldo removes soft drink bottles & endorses water.

During a Euro 2020 conference, star player Cristiano Ronaldo removed the coca-cola bottles from in front of him and this had a rather negative impact on the soft drink brand. It appears to be that Cristiano is not one of the consumers of carbonated soft drinks hence he chose to pick up the bottles and remove them from the table while endorsing drinking more water. This gesture of the footballer has reportedly caused the company $4 billion in stock value. The Coca-Cola stock prices dropped 1.6% and went from being USD 242 billion to USD 238 billion according to a report in The Daily Star.

As the incident goes, Cristiano had come to the media during a conference ahead of their Group F opener against Hungary. Before starting the series of questions and answers, Cristiano removed the two bottles of Coca-Cola as he picked them up and put them aside. He followed the gesture by holding a water bottle and shouting ‘Agua’ in Portuguese.

According to a report in The Sun, the soft drink company has since issued a statement based on Cristiano’s gesture saying, “everyone is entitled to their drink preferences" and that everyone has different "tastes and needs". A spokesperson added, "Players are offered water, alongside Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, on arrival at our press conferences."

Ronaldo, 36, is one of the fittest athletes in the game. He is known to be keeping a rather strict diet and workout regime to perform excellently on the football field. Recently Ronaldo scored two goals against Hungary and went ahead of France’s Michel Platini to become a record goalscorer and take his tally to 11.

I really don't know how to process this information. He removed a drink from the table and chose another and automatically $4bn was wiped off the company value and even prompted the to issue a statement about the gesture.


How can an individual hold so much influence over the choice of consumers like this.


If I hit him with a deal, he will be hawking the drink on the express. That's if am the CEO of coca-cola.


There can only be one GOAT and he's a tall guy

Argue with yourself and your family plus village people

After that incident I also had a rethink, am not drinking coca cola. I don't see any benefit than increasing my sugar level.

But while you are alive it's better you don't spend your days in renal ward, going on and off hospital bed.

Lemme ask you, since something must kill a man, I'm sure you no dey wash you plate or teeth before you eat, even if your food got bad, you will still eat it, isn't it?
No drink better pass water, know this and know peace

Away from dieting, its all business related. He is a brand on his own and if he doesn't accept being joined by another big brand that won't increase his wealth, so be it.

Not over consumers. Those are intrade fluctuations during trade and it's normal especially in daily wealth transfer in every stock exchange.
Incidentally, it may not even have to do with him but hey, it's a world of social media. Traffic is the currency and no deep mental thinking. Nobody will take a cut of $4b from his worth in the world of capitalism just because a footballer moved bottles wink visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria.

His actions affected investors .

But at the end of the day I don't see or think anyone would stop patronizing their product because ororo advocated for water .

I stand to be corrected sha , please they should do a survey of those willing to quit coca cola product because of ororo actions .

Mind you coca cola is bigger than just coke

They have Fanta sprite and other products.

Let's even do a mini survey
A like for sticking with coca cola irrespective
While a share if you would quit coca cola because of ronaldos actions.
