What's new

Mecca Cola

Actually Coca Cola was unavailable/banned in MEA right through the 70s and 80s under the ban administered from Damascus. While Pepsi ruled the roost in the region.

Makes sense :lol:

I wouldn't recommend them :lol:
 
Makes sense :lol:

For that matter even Levis (the jeans) were banned in the ME because it was owned by Levi-Strauss. There was an Arab Boycott office based in Damascus which monitored/administered a long list of products which were banned because of Jewish/Zionist connections. So Pepsi and Wrangler among competitor products had a ball in Arab countries and raked in the shekels by the shovelful. Those were "funny times" indeed. Only Iran and Turkey were immune.
 
mojo is good. You missed RC cola.

RC Cola is American :lol:
RC Cola International

Many of you may find this interesting:
Boycott Israel Campaign
 
In a word: no.



Countries like Turkey, Djibouti, Azerbaijan, and Mauritania trade with Israel.

Hell, I've heard even Pakistani businessmen want to do business with Israel :lol:

Quite right. That Arab Boycott Office is a thing of the past and a total anachronism. In parallel, there was an embargo on South Africa during the Apartheid era. But (nearly) the whole world went and did trade with them. Albeit with a great deal of subterfuge and (not to mention) added costs. Saw quite a bit of that myself.
