If you think that's an attempt at humour by exaggeration, think again. It's not an exaggeration. Coke is actually banned in Saudi Arabia for the sole reason that the Coca-Cola company does business with Israel. There is an official boycott in place, so in Saudi you can only get Pepsi. At least that was the situation when I was there in the 1980s. Maybe someone who's been there more recently can tell us if the ban is still in place.
