Coca-Cola coke super bowl ad muslim headscarf woman

Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola kept one of its Super Bowl ads a surprise, and it ended up being a polarizing one.

In the spot - titled "It's Beautiful" - "America The Beautiful" starts off being sung in English but is also sung in languages like Hindi, Arabic, and Tagalog. It highlights the multicultural makeup of the U.S. and even features a gay couple.

Twitter blew up with reaction from those who hated it and those who loved it. Some examples:

@runlong01: Super Bowl Coke ad - - I will never drink a Coke product again

@blairscott_AL: Coke sings American the Beautiful in foreign languages & now a Cosmos ad? Poor conservatards got it rough this Super Bowl.

@theangelwinks: #Coke ad #SuperBowl "@DRichardson94: Some terrorist were singing our song in that coke commercial" interesting reactions smh

Here is the ad:

The immediate reactions can almost be predicted word-for-word.

Liberals are tossing around words like "perfect" and "amazing" while conservatives are calling it "divisive" and "offensive." Everyone in between either thought it was sweet or worthy of an eye roll.

The commercial, from Wieden + Kennedy, will definitely be talked about after the game.
