Soft drink giant Coke is taking heat for disallowing customers to order cans with “Jesus” or “Trump” printed on them.
Coke offers customers the chance to personalize cans, but unsurprisingly, there are some words that the company won’t allow customers to put on the cans. And that is probably a good idea, such as it is.
However, there are some words that makes no sense to have the company ban for customers.
Per Breitbart News:
While people attempting to personalize cans with messages such as, “Trump 2024” or “Jesus loves you,” have received messages stating that the name is “not approved,” other messages such as “Harris Walz 2024,” “Satan” and “Allah” were reportedly allowed, according to the Daily Mail.
Messages supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, Satan, and Allah were reportedly allowed prior to the company fixing a “glitch,” according to the outlet.
The X account for Libs of TikTok posted photos showing that “Harris Walz 2024” had been an approved message on a can, while the message “Trump 2024” was met with a warning that said, “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,” the message from the company continued. “Oftentimes, a name might be accepted if you add a last name to the submission.”
.@CocaCola's custom can website allows you to use "Harris Walz 2024" but restricts you from using "Trump 2024" because it's "political in nature" or "offensive."

Folks soon began trying other words and quickly found that Allah is allowed. Praise Satan is allowed, but not God Loves You.
Coke eventually fixed the problem, but not before a boycott was called.
