Skin Tone Colored Sodas

Skin Tone-Colored Sodas

Ali Cola believes that it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white or brown or yellow so they made a soda collection to prove it. Dubbed the first cola in different skin colors. It’s a cola for more tolerance. Here’s what the company had to say:

“Outside, they are different. Inside all the same. What should apply to people all over the world now applies to Cola. More precisely: for ALICOLA. The first cola in different skin colors. A cola for more tolerance. #Tolerance tastes good“

I don’t really do cola but Ali Cola may change my mind.

For 12 months, Tim and Jessie attempted to open their hearts, eyes and minds to become kinder, more empathetic people.
