Someone didn’t think that through.

I’m looking at the display, and I find myself distinctly not outraged.

[miss marmelstein]

Death and destruction sells Coke. I guess the libs will suddenly love this evil corporation.

O.M.G.

This does not deserve an “Oh My G*d!”

15 years later and the loss of thousands of lives in NY, PA, and DC is remembered by a great deal on Coca Cola. . .

Shameful.

[Blood of Tyrants]

People who fake outrage at the display probably had no outrage on 911.

[circlecity]

A couple of loony twitter posts = “sparks outrage”. A total nothingburger.

[chajin]

The orthophosphoric acid and high-fructose corn syrup should spark outrage. This display should not spark outrage.

I think the issue is to purchase the coke, the towers will come down gradually

[mmichaels1970]

I have mixed opinions on this and a couple other related stories. On one hand, it's sad to see a commercialization of 9/11. On the other, it doesn't seem bad to see different forms of expression towards commemorating it.

I told my wife, that I can now better see the point of those that always complain that Memorial Day with its barbeques, parades, etc is inappropriate.

One thing I'm certainly tired of though, is the constant outrage whenever somebody sees something they don't like.

[TheDon]

Not much in the quoted statements about why the people were offended. I find nothing offensive about it. It’s nice someone remembers.

I’ve got mixed feelings about that display.

Although I disagree with commercializing the commemoration of 9/11, I’m not offended by Coca Cola’s patriotic observance of the date.

[BitWielder1]

I do not consider images of the twin towers offensive.
I thought the display was nicely done and symbolizes patriotism and remembrance.
One could argue it might be in bad taste to use a terror attack to sell a product but it does not warrant outrage.
I don't want to emulate the histrionics from Leftists and Muslims.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

‘Coke Zero’. Yep, that’s the ‘New New Coke’ idea — not on steroids, more like mega-doses of leftist estrogen.

Pepsi tastes just a little better.

[Wolfie]

Coke “ZERO”...nice touch.

[lee martell]

I get the sentiment, but many Americans don’t want to see ANY visual reminders of the Twin Towers as they were on 9/11, no matter what the intention was. Nor do most want to see any stark reminders of the after effects, the most poignant would include those people jumping out of windows.

There are numerous visuals of that day, and very few of them are neutral. Maybe the First Responders could be depicted, if you get their family’s permission. That’s what I’d suggest. So, you will always have the divided camps, both having a full right to their opinion.
There aren’t many other graphic symbols one could use to represent that day except maybe just the typography. If you print out 9/11/01, (or just 9/11) most people know what that refers to.

[TruthWillWin]

Anyone outraged by that should pack up and leave the US.

[GraceG]

They need a Saudi walking by with a bag of cash handing it out to jihadis.
