Boycotts do work

[Haji 2003]

There was a recent thread about boycotts (to which I had made contributions) but it seems to have disappeared. In that thread people had argued that boycotts of international brands don't hurt the multinational owners based in New York or London.

I had challenged that. Anyway, news today in the FT.

Boycotts of western food and drinks brands in Muslim countries are hitting the revenues of multinationals and their franchise operators, exacerbating the impact of a global consumer slowdown on their bottom line.

Luca Zaramella, chief financial officer of snack maker Mondelez, said the boycotts “remained a headwind”, weighing down Middle East sales growth by 2 per cent in the second quarter. Beauty group L’Oréal equally said the boycotts had a 2 percentage point drag on growth in the first half of the year.

Coca-Cola İçecek, the bottler of Coca-Cola in Pakistan, reported sales volumes in the country fell almost a quarter year on year in the first three months of 2024, which it blamed on “macroeconomic headwinds” without mentioning fallout from the war in Gaza.

In Egypt, meanwhile, PepsiCo faced a backlash in May when it launched an ad campaign with giant billboards and the slogan “stay thirsty”, which appeared to taunt boycotters.

That company is Turkish and responsible for production and the distribution of Zionist Coca Cola Drinks to many Muslim countries. In Turkey when its sales dropped, they began to rebrand the drinks and bottle the drinks with the names of Turkish TV Series on Ottomans. Diriliş (Resurrection) Cola or whatever to fool the muslim folk into thinking they are a Turkish-local brand that has nothing to do with Israel.

Boycotting made my life easier, I started supporting the local products and saving money. Lol we were brainwashed thinking local products are bad. Sadly majority of my loved ones are not boycotting. I'm glad I'm not supporting the terrorist.
