Twitter unleashed on America’s top-selling soft drink because of an ad that aired during Super Bowl 51.

During the opening half of Super Bowl 51, Coca Cola revealed an ad that was supported by the lyrics of “America the Beautiful.” Likely a response to the political shenanigans in Washington, the ad centers on the lives of American people from differing backgrounds. The ad is such a controversy to some people that they chimed in on Twitter, expressing outrage. The other half of the Twitter community also voiced their love towards Coca Cola for throwing themselves into an issue that’s very heated up in America at present time.

Though the Super Bowl is a time to relish in the commercials that scope out creativity and oddball humor, Coca Cola is under fire for theirs. Even though it shows support for various lifestyles, the timing of the commercial is nothing short of political. That’s likely why Twitter isn’t too happy with it. Coca Cola wants the idea that their product embraces individuals regardless of culture and languages spoken.

Politics aside, it’s an honest and welcoming side of the Atlanta-based company. Coca Cola’s also not the first company to support differences. Earlier this month, Starbucks earned the hearts of some because its CEO promised to hire 10,000 refugees. One man that will frown at Coca Cola is, of course, Donald Trump, of whom the ad adamantly rejects. It’s a strong statement, but props should be rewarded to the company for having the guts to air it. Twitter, on the other hand, had something else to say.

Here are some of the reactions:
