I am a bit reluctant to buy Coke from Georgia or similar former Soviet / Warsaw Pact territories, how do I know it hasn't been shanzhai-ed by a bunch of gangsters? Fake product made evident by its taste was an issue here. I suspect that it has to do with the foreign coke that many shops sell.

At the time, it was just as common to see a can of Coke made in Spain as it was in the UK. Perhaps the MADE IN GB tag has something to do with that issue.

Coke Zero is Diet Coke for 'blokes', who tend to be more nationalistic. The appropriation of the bumper sticker is an attempt to reach out to them. I think its more nationalistic than local.
