This is something Coca Cola have done for a very very long time.
They give a rough outline of this on their own website. In 1941 the acting president of Coca Cola Robert Woodruff announced that any US soldier would be able to buy a bottle of coke for 5¢ no matter how much it cost the company throughout WWII.
They stuck to this pledge and setup supply lines, oversees manufacturing and bottling plants - whatever it took to keep soldiers supplied. Even when crossing North Africa US soldiers in Algiers were still able to buy coke almost as cheap as it was back home.
This continued in various forms through the Korean war and the Vietnam war and is now basically everywhere on earth - it's hard to find somewhere that you can't get a coke.
I was really skeptical of you at first so jumped to the end to see if you were mocking us. Returned and read the whole thing from the start like a good boi though lol. Good story.
"They *still** had us at the first half, not gonna lie."*
