Berlin (Reuters)–No more Coca-Cola or Budweiser, no Marlboro, no American whiskey or even American Express cards a growing number of restaurants in Germany are taking everything American off their menus to protest the war in Iraq. Although the protests are mainly symbolic,
waiters in dozens of bars and restaurants in Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Bonn and other German
cities are telling patrons, "Sorry, Coca-Cola is not available any more due to the current political situation." The boycotts appear to be part of a nascent worldwide movement. One Web site, www.consumers-against-war.de, calls for boycotts of 27 top American firms from Microsoft to
Kodak while another, www.adbusters.org, urges the "millions of people against the war" to "
Boycott Brand America." Consumer fury seems to be on the rise. Demonstrators in Paris mashed
the windows of a McDonald's restaurant last week, forcing police in riot gear to move in to protect
staff and customers of the American fast-food outlet. The attackers sprayed obscenities and "boycott" on the windows.
