Every joke has some truth to it. It's a well-known householding tip to use coke for cleaning of kitchen and WC, for removal of rust stains. It's a very strong detergent. http://www.povarenok.ru/advice/show/231/ |

What food does Russia import from US anyway? Not counting raw products (grain / fruit), I imagine it's all imported luxury items which only the Middle Upper Class can afford.

American brands such as the Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds are quite popular in Russia. So I really doubt how much successful this boycott will be in the major cities of Russia.

That could be a good boycott in itself: spread the word of how Coke is better than Jif and Domestos (replace with your favourite detergent) at cleaning your kitchen at a fraction of the price, and round it off with a slogan: "Enjoy Jif". This can make a big hit on drinking sales. |

It opens new business opportunities for Russian companies: Stalingrad Fried Chicken and gorbachev chicken chops. but yeah, russians boycotting coca cola isn't going to do shit.. and no one over here cares, except for coca cola. maybe they'll come up with their own red army soda. i wouldn't be surprised if putin on a horse were the logo |

They make an abysmally bad knock off of a traditional Russian drink - Kvas - and sell it under that label! |

so?

Many do. There is a range of products. When I was in Kiev, asking locals, which brands to select, they pointed out 1 or 2, and Coca/Pepsi-made were not among them. That was the recommendations from the older/middle-aged generation, who remember the taste of real Kvas. However, the placement of the products favours Coka/Pepsi, and the younger generation recommended them - acquired taste. This despite that Coca/Pepsi-made Kvas has as much in common with real Kvas as Fanta has with freshly-pressed orange juice. |

No, these would be unaffected by a hypothetical ban. Those companies are a component to a regional company and they likely source most of their ingredients from within Russia. Maybe the Colonel's Secret Spices could be banned, though.  A hypothetical ban would affect Raw Products (Grain / Fruit / Meats) Liquors (American Whiskey / Scotch is a luxury item across the world) American tobacco products American chocolates / candies (unless made in Europe) |

Kvass is tasty and I like to buy mine at the Deli but that's unfortunately the only place to get it, and it's a hassle. $6 for 2 litre bottle but I can get 2L Coa Cola for $.99 cent when it's on special. Ironically I am almost certain rye bread is cheaper than sugar but meh. |

Here is about some group of people, that make rumors for laugh, not about some ban on state level. I remember FOX News for searching French food (mineral water) in shops for boycotting. Shit like "Freedom fries". |
