The 7 Up example is an absurd one, but if the mantra from now on is going to be that what anyone recollects as their experiences and how they felt about them is 100% valid (and often binding on society), with anyone outside the in-group told to STFU, this will undoubtedly lead to some unintended and perhaps undesirable ramifications going forward.
As I've said before, I don't see why under this mantra that anglophones should have *any* say in the situation of French, and what should or should not be done to protect it.
And yet every day on Twitter there are 10,000 messages from non-francophone Canadians giving their opinion (and you know what it tends to be) about *my* language. That they generally don't even speak a word of.
