Both Coke & Pepsi avoided doing business with Israel initially. It wasn't until 1966 that Coke fully entered the Israeli market & 1992 before Pepsi followed suit. This was because of fears of a boycott from the Arab league.As a result of Pepsi's late entry into Israel, Coke is sometimes seen as "for Jews" and Pepsi "for Arabs". You can find a full description of the controversy at the attached link. Source(s): http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/israel.asp |
