Social Media Reacts To Cristiano Ronaldo Dissing Coca Cola Which Led To The Company Losing $4 Billion
With no hesitance, the Portuguese footballer picked up two bottles of Coca-Cola placed in front of him at a press conference, and switched them with a bottle of water. After that, Twitter was flooded with memes.
It's a bad day for Coca Cola because Cristiano Ronaldo probably took a note out of Tesla founder Elon Musk's book and led the soft drink company to lose billions of dollars ($4 billion).
With no hesitance, the Portuguese footballer picked up two bottles of Coca-Cola placed in front of him at a press conference and switched them with a bottle of water. While doing so, he appeared to be muttering the beverage company's name in the video that has now gone viral on social media like wildfire.

Once this became the hot topic of the day, the Euro 2020 sponsor's market value dropped by $4 billion. (You do not even want to know how much that is in rupees.)
Of course, it was not long before netizens flooded social media with their best memes.

Even though the Portugal football team captain has worked in Coca Cola advertisements back in the day, he is known to take his fitness very seriously. However, does this one tiny action justify the downfall of the company's shares?
