Thank you for your question. That's an old rumour, the substance of which changes from time to time from Pepsi to Coca Cola to RJ Reynolds (tobacco manufacturing) to breweries to casinos and to any other business that appears to conflict with the Church's standards.
The short answer is No. The church has investments in enterprises that further its mission. It also responsibly holds funds temporarily in various savings accounts, money markets, mutual funds, and other temporary financial instruments while those funds await assignment to some other expense.
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) does not own Coca Cola or any other beverage company.
None, officially. In fact, Church-owned cafeterias generally serve Coca-Cola products.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not have any major investments in Coca-Cola or any other beverage company.
The two are competitors.
No. The Coca Cola Company is owned by shareholders - of which there could be thousands. Sure, some of these individual shareholders could be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church), but the majority certainly are not. The Church itself is not involved with the Coca Cola Company. The Chairman and CEO of Coca Cola is Muhtar Kent, a Muslim.
Coca-Cola is a fizzy pop drink developed in the 1980's and cultural means your religion and culture, wear you're family originate from!
The Pepsi company is not owned by any one individual or group. Publicly traded companies have shares of there company that are sold at the stock market to create operating capitol for the company. When the company has a growth period, the value of each individual stock rises and those who own the stock are paid accordingly. People who own stock in companies do so as an investment in order to have their money grow. The Mormon Church does own stocks in various companies. As a general long term investment, it is a good way to make your money grow. The Mormon church may or may not own some stock in Pepsi. The Mormon Church uses it's funds to build churches and temples, and to supply relief to many areas and individuals affected by natural disasters, poverty, and other needs.
This rumor may have come about because there is a large Coca Cola plant in Utah, or because Coke products are served at cafeterias operated by the church and cafes at church headquarters.
Coca-Cola because it's not fake.
A huge penis.
The taste!!:P
