I hope Germans are smarter than that. Also, Daniel is not the most German name they could have found, I am sure a Klaus or a Reinhardt would have worked better. Unless Daniel is an American employee conceived in Germany by his parents and the tagline refers to him.

Also, here in Denmark and in Italy Coca-Cola relies on local bottling companies who would surely lose volumes, but those would be also freed up for local or do-good alternatives, such as Fritz Cola (which is very good in it's zero calories version) and Gaza Cola (yeah, that's probably never gonna happen in Germany, but still a good example).

You think that Daniel is "not the most German name" but suggest Klaus or Reinhardt is more representative? What else, should he wear Lederhosen?

I don't know how accurate this website is, but forebears.io has a list of common German names, and the top three are: Peter, Michael, and Wolfgang. Daniel was listed as 171st most popular.
