Abstract
When soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo removed the Coca-Cola bottles in front of him at a press conference during Euro 2020, it immediately drew the attention of fans, the media, and many others. It was not only Ronaldo, but several other celebrities too who were beginning to distance themselves from unhealthy brands, either because of a feeling of social responsibility or of the fear that associating with an unhealthy brand would tarnish their own image. Coca-Cola's valuation fell following the incident and its image was dented. However, experts opined that other factors might have contributed to the fall in Coca-Cola's valuation.
