Given the current worries — inflation, Covid, interest rates, Ukraine, stock volatility — consumers are willing to pay a premium when seeking comfort in the form of sweet treats like Coca-Cola. And investors are seeking a safe haven in the company's stock.

Coca-Cola reported first quarter earnings and sales Monday that easily topped forecasts: Sales surged 16% to $10.5 billion, beating Wall Street's expectations of $9.8 billion. Profits of $2.8 billion, or 64 cents a share, rose 24% from a year ago — surpassing consensus estimates of 58 cents a share. Price hikes were a major driver of the solid numbers. Coca-Cola said its price/mix, a measure of how much it charges customers, was up 7% globally and 11% in North America.

If you care a bit about your health don't drink that poison ☠

Would have thought booze and cigarettes would have been more of a go to for comfort during stressful times. Guessing sugary sodas are much easier to get for a greater number of people. Betting carbs in general (even with the food chain disruptions) will be much more popular.🍰

Water is cheaper comfort. And that's not including the cost of insulin.

I TINK I KNOW THE BOTTEL .. BUT THAN THE SMINOF VERSION

CNN and Coca-Cola both WOKE. I'll stick with Pepsi.
