> If Coca Cola had a similar dispute that led to the flavor of Coke changing, you’d see even more posts like this from real people.

similar to https://x.com/JenMsft/status/1381640311357628420/photo/1 : corporations need to understand that people don't have conversations where they randomly recommend carbonated beverages to each other

No? I have recommended Freestyle sugar free soda as a way to replace heavy CocaCola consumption. Here in Mexico it's a big problem, and I helped me get out of the addiction. ( add Allulose to the soda to add the sweet)

Actually people recommend products they like to friends all the time. For example, here's you recommending a random windows feature[1].

that was more of a signal to youtube creators to normalize their volume since windows doesnt let you do that anymore :(

What a strange thing to say. Not only do people frequently recommend carbonated beverages to each other, the upstream meme is even more off. People recommend operating systems to each other so much that there's an entire subculture known for that exact behavior.
