A little too late for me.
It was their choice to enter the political fray and take a side. They jumped on board with censorship. They chose to involve themselves in social justice issues. They chose to jump on board with systemic racism accusations.
If they want to support or donate to causes, no issue. Want to take a side and speak up an agenda that offends half of the nation? No Coke for me, and much much more. What does Coke own besides their regular soda?
Well, they apparently own 500 different brands and about 4,000 different drink options! 4 of the top 5 in the world - Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite.
Dasani, Smartwater, Ciel, Glaceau, Minute Maind, Simply Orange, Powerade, Vitamin Water, Fuze, Honest Tea... Barq's Root Beer, Odwalla, Zico, Monster Drinks, Organic & Raw
So much more too. Hell, they even owned Columbia Pictures for years. If they didn't sell I wouldn't pay to see their movies either.
All from Wiki and common knowledge of a few from working at Cadbury years back.
And they now regret their stances and are only concerned about the bottom dollar, that's all.

Coca-Cola has been creeping in a more woke direction for a while. In March 2020, the company blasted U.S. Soccer for making legal arguments in the equal-pay lawsuit filed by the women’s team, a lawsuit the women soon lost in court. In June 2020, Coca-Cola announced that it was suspending advertising on Facebook and Instagram, joining a coalition of left-wing advocacy groups “as part of a campaign forcing the social media network to more stringently police hate speech and disinformation.” The boycott was openly directed at Facebook’s refusal at the time to censor posts by Donald Trump. Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey issued a “Where We Stand on Social Justice” manifesto:
Yet, the company’s concern for justice is decidedly one-sided: for all its activism in the U.S., it lobbied against a bill that would ban products made with forced labor in China’s Xinjiang province
Coca-Cola grabbed headlines in February of this year for the company’s “diversity” initiatives. Most notoriously, leaked slides from a training program commanded Coca-Cola employees to “try to be less white.” Then, the company issued strict requirements to its outside counsel to mandate the selection of lawyers on the basis of race:
