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:

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.

Hey i tasted that RC Cola here in India, frankly its a complete $hitty drink for sure. I didn't even go for second sip :sick:

That's odd. It's pretty popular in my country. Although funnily, I've never tasted it :lol:

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.
