Companies just left the market. However, their factories have appropriated internal Russian companies and will sell products under their own brand. The important thing here is not to "leave the Russians without Coca-Cola!!!!". Here, it is important whether this company pays taxes to the Russian budget on its own. If not, no problem.
Like, it doesn't matter under which brand you sell products, you will still be subject to sanctions, and you can also probably get into several scandals and get the achievement "sponsor of international terrorism", which will not be very good for sales and image of the company.
@@oz_jones It's not. I was invented by a German scientist for Coca Cola during WWII because they didn't have the ingredients for Coke and that way they could still sell their product in Germany. But it was never owned by a German company or even the government.
Lipton didn't leave Russia, Dr. Pepper didn't leave Russia, Monster didn't leave Russia, Pepsi didn't leave Russia, and Coca Cola just changed the name. I'm a soda connoisseur, I would've known the difference, but Cola is literally the same. Edit: Wasn't sure so I double checked - Nescafe also hasn't left Russia
None of them left Russia. They just rebranded. McDonald's changed their colours from red and orange to green and white and removed the Golden arches logo fron the stores but they are identical
@@remlo5482in the U.S., "soft drink" refers to soda particularly. I'm sure it's different in other places though. BUT, powder sure as hell ain't even fit in the "drink" category 😂
@@danimanimal7942in the usa soft drink means any drink that doesn’t have alcohol and a hard drink is something with alcohol. didn’t know this until recently, so it’s kinda weird that they didn’t put water on the list considering that it is technically a soft drink😂
@@Axistype they just rebranded everything, and why they going to left when they're making good profit from a country, and if they left a country like Russia they're going face loss.
@@Axistypethey steal or buy fabrics, which were there. So, theoretically they can produce same product, but, c'mon, it's russia. Without western companies control they produce shit.
Bro getting angry at redbull for not leaving Russia when none of the brands have. They all simply changed the name. I'd give redbull the most respect because at least their honest instead of lying about it
Eh most idiots just see a message on social media and blindly believe it, most companies still operate in russia and just use a different name, end of day cash is king
@@Zillawill because he refuses to drink a company that did not voice the anger at russia Omfg shut up I literally just said why, that he’s doesn’t like how company refused to pull out of a fucking country
@@koppanykovacs8745 show that you don’t know how sanctions work, without showing it 🤡 It’s a long run damage of economy, not immediate, bud. I advise you to educate yourself before you share your “valuable” opinion to not look stupid. Also, even one person makes difference, not even mentioning a lot of emphatic and mindful people around the globe, who don’t want to support terrorist politics of russia
google and youtube can literally decimate atleast a portion of the Russian internet if they left 💀💀💀 it's prob gonna get banned by Russia first before Google thinks of blocking access to it to Russia anyways
@@zbk1948 I mean his own family was attacked by the Russian army (not blaming them, it’s Vladimir Putins fault) so he has every right and he never talked shit about redbull he just didn’t want to support the war (which is kind of pointless considering other brands just renamed themselves in Russia to avoid losing out on revenue) but he’s gonna do what he wants.
@@ahhhidk I mean, I fully agree with sending help to Ukraine. At the same time, as embargoes have never worked in changing people's minds. If anything, they just screw over the common people, the rich and powerful just don't care.
Nobody left. they did so only on the surface but the company’s remain for the money, yet he thinks that actually left. idk why but i don’t like this guy
It is said the term originated to distinguish between alcoholic drinks and other drinks.. Instant coffee very much fits on the list, it had no alcohol in the original product.
@@alexbrennan5985 Soft drinks are more commonly thought of as pop, yes, but it doesn't change the fact it is other drinks too. SOFT drinks, it's not HARD liquor/alcohol.
I dont get why people get so angry gor selling soft drinks and food in russia, like how is that supporting their economy in any way? It's just making basic foods etc available to the public LMAO
@@HOEDENKOPF it's not about selling. It's about companies sending Russia money from abroad. Rn most of them sold their factories to Russia and now Russia can rebrand and do the same shit but by themselves
@@Kingish_991 I think Dr Thunder tasting better has more to do with what the man in the video said, "Medicines use this flavor," so I think Dr Thunder not using it, actually makes it subconsciously taste better... or you know, *_not_* like medicine.
@@wolfrainexxx I don’t really remember but too the best of my ability I’d say the meds tasted like a homemade coffee that is between lukewarm and cool and with a bit of a tangy taste. (Somehow The coffee I got managed to replicate this on various different temperatures.)
Тому що смак вишні у добавках дуже специфічний. Я наприклад не можу їсти цукерки зі смаком вишні, джем, сік і все таке інше. Хоча конкретно вишню, як фрукт, я люблю куштувати. Про це ще жартували в South Park
Yup, not supporting the war. Funding a company that payes taxes to russian gov, which is used on war is not good, my family stopped buying russian things too. EDIT:I am getting like 3replies a day saying the same stuff. That Russia doesnt need our money, other companies find it too etc. I am aware of it, i am just saying its ok to boycott Russia, its valid. That's it. Now all of the 5y/o, please stop writing the same comment like 10times.
@@batrongordeg the only drink from this list that left Russia is gatorade so it looks like he funded the war anyway if he cares that much why isnt he there
@Batrongordeg Well, most companies just rebrand their name and ""fund the war"", also starving the civilian population is something I don't agree with.
Well it’s his video, so he can do whatever he wants. But technically speaking - Coke and Pepsi "Left" Russia but they are still selling a lot of different products(Including lipton, that is available to this day) And coke became "Dobriy Cola". So to include or exclude any product based on this factor alone is, in my opinion, not a very bright idea. Big companies only care about profits and image. Sooo.. Yeah.
While this is true, he doesn't care and just wants all the companies to "leave" Russia. Even thought all of this only affects the average russian person, but the people who started the war are not even affected
Hey Max, I am sorry to disappoint you, but none of these brands actually left Russia, they only rebranded, so they publicly dont associate with the country.
Nor should they. Governmental sanctions hurt governments, not companies leaving. That just makes people already suffering there (more than golden boy max could ever dream of), suffer even more. He's very pompous and immature when it comes to russia ukraine. One step away from being a full blown anti russia racist
At least we don’t gotta respect dum ppl. Not only is he wrong, he is incapable of identifying a soft drink. If powdered coffee is on the list, we don’t gotta respect that.
Fun thing that no brand has “left” Russia since 2022, some brands officially just changed their name, or import their drinks from other countries through their sub-companies and some such as Lipton haven’t changed their name at all, what a 🤡😂
@@vardenispavardenis0111 prime is a drink company started by two influencers, since it’s release it’s been an insanely fast growing company because most of their audience is younger people who beg their parents for it whenever they see it at the store, when it was released the hype to try it caused it to sell out quickly and people on the internet started buying a bunch of prime and selling it online to make a profit, which made it even more rare for a while, it’s like a watered down Gatorade and is mostly carried by RU-vidrs supporting and getting sponsored by it which extends the reach to more audience, so it’s a pretty popular energy drink
Prime isnt on the list, he just didnt buy redbull cuz they didnt leave selling in russia, so they picked prime instead as a replacement even though number 3 is redbull
Bro is really against Russia and doesn’t even buy a drink just bc it exists there. Like bro we get it you’re Ukrainian and my mom is too but she still drinks and eats products that are in Russia
@@DoubloonGoblin Yeah, American English vs. the rest of the world. In American English, soft drink exclusively means sweetened carbonated beverage with no alcohol, e.g. it even excludes sparkling water.
His favorite was Pepsi before he did a blind taste challenge and he said the best tasting of the bunch was Coke. Hence, the clip inserted near the end.
@@CEOofAveniaDr pepper IS actually older than both coca Cola and Pepsi and IS not only manufactured by PepsiCo but also by coca cola company and kreurig dr pepper
@@terlinator Honestly Dr Pepper is one of those that just has made made peace with both sides, inside the USA Pepsi-Co does most of the distributions while it is true that Coca-Cola does distribute throughout the rest of the world. Hope that clears it up. :)
@@DoritoDoritio this guy really doesnt know anything about whats ACTUALLY happening in russia. The guy drank coke when all coke did was just rename themselves in russia. 🤡
@@Gravity-. yet had no problem with all the other brands that actively did more stuff to stay in russia in a video website that also hasnt left russia
@@Gravity-. Even with that in mind, other companies he bought like Nescafe haven't, and those who said they did like Coke still sell in Russia, just with other names
The original Coca-Cola corporation etc. who’ve left Russia in protest of the country’s on-going crimes are not the ones selling their products there. It’s the company which was making the Russian version as well as all the countries who don’t care about anything other than money who are importing their versions of those products.
