The Street: After Musk Took Over Twitter, McDonald’s, Starbucks Stopped Tweeting. “Ronald McDonald is not the only one experiencing the silence of the tweets. Coca-Cola’s, Starbucks, Sonic Drive-In, General Mills, and Dairy Queen are among the companies that seem to be stuck in 2022. And while Twitter is getting the silent treatment, all these companies have been active on Facebook and Instagram.”
CNBC: The Facebook ad boycotts have entered the big leagues. Now what? . “In the last week, a steady stream of companies came out in support of the ”#StopHateForProfit” campaign, promising to pause advertising spend on Facebook to encourage the company to amp up efforts against hate speech and disinformation. With major advertisers like Verizon joining the campaign Thursday and Unilever, Coca-Cola and Honda saying they would pull advertising on Friday, Facebook is now facing a snowball effect of advertisers abandoning the site.”
Coca-Cola has released a video showing how to make a Google Cardboard-type VR viewer out of its packaging. “The video below shows that all you need is a Coke box, a phone, and some other pieces that need to be cut out of the packaging using guides supplied by Coca-Cola. It looks like the only piece missing is a plastic lens, but we can imagine Coke somehow including it with new versions of its soda packaging marketed specifically as Coke boxes that can be made into VR viewers (maybe even Cardboard-certified viewers).”
