Yesterday, a clip of Cristiano Ronaldo from a Euro 2020 press conference has gone viral. In the clip, Ronaldo is seen moving two bottles of Coca Cola out of the shot and replacing them with a water bottle.

He does this and says, "Agua," meaning water, asking people to drink that instead. The press conference continues a few chuckles later, but the actual repercussions come in in a few hours. Ronaldo's 2-second gesture put the cola company in big trouble as it lost about $4 billion from its market value.
