When vitriolic jeering rained down from the sellout crowd at a Germany-Ivory Coast game last weekend at Toronto Stadium, the target was the unpopular hydration break that’s making its FIFA World Cup debut this year.

And break sponsor Powerade — a sports drink owned by Coca-Cola — was directly in the firing line.
