How do you feel about Coca Cola advertising to your children? 


It wasn't until May 2013, that Coca Cola vowed not to target kids under the age of 12. Before this, Coca Cola targeted all ages, with the commercials they aired or even toys they made. 


Here are some of the toys that Coca Cola sold 
Barbie Doll

Yo-yo


Teddy Bear


Puzzle


Legos


Here's a commercial, that Coca Cola aired. In the commerical you'll a BABY drinking Coca Cola.

Many Americans blame soda companies for the obesity problem we have with the children. I know when my nephew was younger, he would cry when we didn't have soda on the dinner table. He would only want to drink soda, never wanted water or juice. Coca Cola now as a company is trying to join the fight with obesity with their "Coming together" campaign.  


Here's the ad, you will see from Coca Cola showing  that they have lower calories options 

The food nutritious mocked Coca Cola by making fun of their  Polar Bears. By this commerical being aired, it gave a bad image for the company. That's why Coca Cola no long shows ads targeting children uner the age of 12.
Here's the video that the food nutritious made to mock the Coca Cola bears. 


But is it really Coca Cola's fault that children want to drink soda rather than water or anything that is healthier. What about the parents? Brands are also transfered to children by what their parents have in their home. If the children sees their parents drink Coca Cola instead of water or something healthier, then the children will end up doing the same by just watching there parents.
