Pepsi changed its design to be pro-Palestinian to avoid boycotts.

Question

Pepsi changed its design to be pro-Palestinian in order to avoid boycotts. The Israeli company PEPSI has changed the design to avoid the boycott and wrote Palestine. Do not fall for this deception. Continue the boycott of both PEPSI and COKE brands. #boycott #palestine

This is very unreliable especially if you got your source from TikTok. The user who posted that original video has no credentials or facts to back it up and is biased. Nothing popped up when I looked up if Pepsi changed its design in a show of support. There is no official statement or post from Pepsi saying they did.

---

Your source is unreliable because it is from a TikTok video. There are no facts, and the video is clearly biased. There is no other information regarding Pepsi changing its logo regarding anything to do with the conflict.

---

This source is unreliable. First, it comes from a TikTok video whose content creator is spilling content that is false. On the creators page they are either cooking or filming themselves and their surroundings and they do not have any source of credentials to back up their claim. Secondly, Pepsi is not an Israeli company so they are sharing misinformation to the public. Finally, other news outlets such as USA Today has stated that this claim is false.

---

There's no credible evidence or official announcement from Pepsi indicating a change in design for pro-Palestinian reasons. Engaging in a boycott based on unverified information might not be an effective or justified action. Jumping to conclusions without proper evidence can contribute to the spread of misinformation. TikTok is not a reliable source, and should not be used as evidence.

TikTok is an incredibly unreliable source for information like this. Many creators will post things like this just to provoke an audience. Upon doing my own research - like the other commenters - I found no information on pepsi changing their design to be pro-Palestine to avoid boycotts. I can understand TikTok seeming to be a credible source at some points simply due to the fact that mass amounts of information goes through the app daily; however, it is important to always be wary when it comes to trusting news off of social media.

I beleive with this check that all self bias has to be put away and you have to look at real and relaible facts. In this check it is cleary bias (coming from the creator of the Tik Tok), as there is no actual facts supporting anything that they are claiming. If you go do research you will find that there has been no changes made. This source is not reliable.

---

I would say that this isn't a credible source because the link added to the post was from TikTok. While some things might be spread to educate on TikTok, it's also important to not believe everything that is posted on it because information can be misconstrued or fabricated to get views.

---

This claim is incorrect. The author of the post is not a credible source, as well as the medium of the post (Tiktok), is not credible. There are also no articles or sources that support this claim.

---

This claim is entirely false and TikTok is not a reliable source because there is an immense amount of misinformation and disinformation that is spread daily on that application. Upon my research, I found numerous credible sources disproving this claim.

Answer 1

This source is very unreliable because it is from TikTok. Pepsi themselves have never made an official statement about this. USA Today posted an article about the logo change, which is because of an anniversary and not because they are Pro-Palestinian.
