Editor's Insight: The "Campaign to Stop Killer Coke" campaign has plagued college campuses for years and it has been growing on college campuses nationwide. In some cases, students have vandalized vending machines.

Vending operators who service colleges need to know Coca-Cola Co.'s position in this matter. It is not inconceivable that vending operators that vend Coke products could become targeted by this campaign. It is also possible that operators serving unionized industrial accounts could be questioned. The "Campaign to Stop Killer Coke" has sought support from U.S. labor unions.
