Coca-Cola naming machine refuses ‘Jesus,’ allows ‘Satan’

American goo magnates Coca-Cola have brought back cans with your name on them. Unless you happen to be the Son of God.

A video has gone viral that shows a can personalization machine apparently allowing the use of all sorts of names, like ‘Satan,’ ‘Allah loves you’ and ‘Buddah [sic] loves you,’ but completely shutting down and coming up with a large warning message the second video recorder Antwoine Hill had typed the name Jesus. This appeared to be the only name that would trigger this behavior.

It’s unclear whether the move is a result of a disdain for Christian values, or someone at Coca-Cola has a long-running feud with a Puerto Rican named Jesus. In any case, Coca-Cola have yet to comment on the controversy. Many online fact-checkers have been quick to point out that the Coca-Cola website has a slightly different behavior, however no one has been able to explain why the in-person machines will not even allow the user to finish inputting ‘Jesus.’ As Hill commented on his original Facebook post, ‘the only name that gets this much backlash and hate is the name of Jesus.’
