🇩🇰🥤 Denmark Is Boycotting Coca-Cola Over U.S. Tariffs, Occupation & Disrespect — And It’s Fizzing Into a Global Reckoning ❌💥
It’s bigger than just soda—and it’s sending shockwaves through global brands.
A quiet but powerful protest is bubbling up in Denmark. 🇩🇰 Danes are turning away from Coca-Cola—not because of taste, but because of tariffs, politics, and principle. 💸🧃
Carlsberg, the company that bottles Coca-Cola in Denmark, confirmed what many suspected: consumers are ditching American sodas. CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen told investors,
"Our Coca-Cola volumes are slightly down in Denmark... there is a level of consumer boycott around the US brands."
So what’s really happening—and why does it matter far beyond Denmark?
🌍 This Isn’t Just About Greenland
Tensions between Denmark and the U.S. have escalated. From Trump’s repeated threats to annex Greenland 🧊🇺🇸 to recent U.S. criticisms of Denmark’s foreign policy 💬, the Danish public is feeling disrespected. A Danish official told the FT:
"Danes are pissed off. They remember those Danish soldiers’ bodies coming home, and now they feel disrespected."
The response? A nationwide shift in consumer behavior 💶🛒.
📈 Sales of local Danish soda Jolly Cola have skyrocketed—13-fold in March alone. It’s a fizzy sign: people are putting their money where their values are. 💥🥤
🔄 A Familiar Pattern
This isn’t the first time U.S. brands like Coca-Cola have faced heat 🔥. Following the war on Gaza 🇵🇸, Coca-Cola’s sales slumped across Muslim-majority countries. The brand’s American roots 🇺🇸 and perceived alignment with U.S. foreign policy made it a target 🎯.
Despite all this, Coca-Cola’s earnings call on Tuesday made no mention of the boycott in Denmark or elsewhere. Instead, the company focused on "manageable" trade disruptions and stock performance 📊📉.
🧨 A Global Reckoning for Brands
When people boycott Coca-Cola, they aren’t just ditching a drink—they’re rejecting injustice, occupation, and imperialism 🕊️. This is about agency—and Denmark is the latest example of that power. 💪🌍
From Gaza to Copenhagen, one thing is clear: everyday people are tired of being complicit 💔.
