ALBAWABA - A hashtag on X (formerly known as Twitter) of users calling for the boycott of Coca-Cola went viral due to the company not allowing the word "Jesus" on their custom cans but green lighting phrases like "Praise Satan" and "Allah".

The hashtag in question is #BoycottCocaCola which swarmed the American side of X due to the issue at hand but other users stated that the word "isn't banned" but instead is put on pending for review purposes before allowing it to go through.

A user named Don Lucre wrote quoting Americans that "they won't let you personalize a can with "Jesus" but allows Satan, Allah, and all of the Babylonian Gods and demons."

Another user claimed in the replies to Don Lucre's posts on X that Coca-Cola " allows Kamala-themed cans but not Trump-themed cans," triggering further debate about the company's "questionable" policy. 

By the time of writing this article, Coca-Cola hasn't responded to the claims made against it on social media but people are awaiting a response.

"That's wild because Jesús is a common Spanish name."

Coca-Cola has been facing other boycott calls in the Middle East due to being part of the products and services linked to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, which resulted in the killing of more than 41,495 Palestinians and at least  96,006 injured.

Moreover, the company recently had to stop production for its Spiced flavor amid low requests from customers, only six months after its release. It was made to target Gen Z people but the marketing campaign failed, therefore, the company decided to stop producing the new flavor.
