Coca Cola is also currently airing a really weird โ€œMade in Germanyโ€ ad on YouTube, like theres some serious engineering involved to mix sugar and water.

Seems more like a veiled threat: buy our sugar water or we will have to fire your fellow countrymen

If Coke pays there like they pay here, it'd probably be for the best...

Yeah but profits still go back to America

They've got plants all over the world because it's cheaper to produce locally than to ship water all over the world. The profits still go to facist USA, so the commercials are bullshit.

mix sugar and water

Now that's just unfair, they also have to add the brown. Otherwise you wouldn't know it's Coke.
