The Kansas City Star
An enthusiast with a metal detector made an unusual discovery while combing a city park in Chattanooga, Tennessee — a swastika embossed with the logo of the iconic American brand Coca-Cola.
As instantly recognizable as the soda giant’s branding is, the swastika symbol may have it beat for all the wrong reasons, inextricably linked as it is to Nazism both past and present.
So what is the preferred soda of animated polar bears doing on a swastika? While the Nazis had some powerful supporters in the U.S. during the early 1900’s — most infamously Henry Ford — that isn’t what’s happening here.
