Coca Cola i kind of worry for its VERY LONG TERM business since people nowadays are getting more into less sugar food, and diet coke taste like medicine!
I just think the risk is there for Coke, since it's a "super recipe" and so if this sugar concern really getting much more attention in future, how can it transform its business to maintain profitable?
For the same reason, I don't buy tobacco stocks. Since I always think its business can only get smaller each year. Although now still ok, but we are seeing increasing number of non-smoking young people(this is the important part). The trend is growing. However, I think there is nothing iconic on MacD. Only 1 thing, it's fast food. And fast food can also be healthy food. Nobody care about must get a BigMac in MacD, people just buy whatever they provide. So the flexibility is there for MacD.
Johnson & Johnson business I like very much. Is this company good as long term profitability? It's great to know it also 25 years dividend growing story! I'm gonna start monitoring MacD and JJ now.

You know, Coke has pretty much diversified from just its main cola products. As for the diet (aka light) product, you know I liked this taste. I think it is much better than non-diet sugary product. Coke now also sell bottled water. This is a huge money maker for them.. just for selling distilled water. Anyway, coke dividend is safe.
Also, if you think fast food can be healthy food, then I'm all in MCD.. LOL! MCD is making huge money especially in China (tho, it has slowed down since last Q). MCD in USA now serves salad and salad menu is more expensive than meat burgers. Diet conscious customers willing to pay more for them, therefore huge profit margin. Also, their premium coffee beverage is taking share away from Starbucks. Nice!
All in all.. good divi stock play picked by Divi Warrior.
