Since last week, every other news portal has covered footballer Cristiano Ronaldo’s attempt to remove two Coca-Cola bottles in front of him and encourage his fans to drink water. This happened at the UEFA 2020 press conference which made the company lost $4 billion in just a few hours. However, much to everyone’s surprise, some other sports personalities created their own funny versions coupled with a few twisted circulations of the same story.
Here’s the top 5 of the lot,

It’s safe to say that Pogba took inspiration quite literally from Ronaldo. His gesture to remove Heineken also affected the brand as it seemed to have discouraged the use of the drink.
