Recently, a social media allegation claimed that the Coca-Cola Company, under boycott pressure, is using deceptive methods to sustain sales amidst declining numbers.

Following the start of the Gaza Strip conflict in October, pro-Palestinian activists initiated a [boycott campaign](https://theislamicinformation.com/more/israeli-product-checker/) targeting brands linked to Israel. This campaign included well-known brands and food chains such as McDonald's, Starbucks, HP, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Adidas, and many more.

One specific claim suggested that Coca-Cola is tricking consumers by altering the appearance of its cans and selling them under different names to circumvent the boycott.

## **The Truth Behind the Claims**

According to these social media claims, Coca-Cola allegedly owns Palestine Cola and other brands like Qibla Cola and Mecca Cola. However, this allegation is unfounded. Investigations by AFP journalists have confirmed that this is false information.

- **Palestine Cola**: This soft drink is produced by the "[Safad Foodstuff Company](https://www.palestinedrinks.com/about-us)" which has no ties to Coca-Cola. The company is owned by two Palestinian-origin brothers residing in Sweden, according to their official website.

- **Qibla Cola**: Launched in 2003 by a British company in Derby, Qibla Cola was created to provide an alternative to American soft drink brands, specifically targeting the Muslim community. This brand also has no affiliation with Coca-Cola.

The claims that Coca-Cola owns Palestine Cola and Qibla Cola are baseless and inaccurate.
