I don't drink sodas except once a year or less. On the other hand I have individual stocks of Coke and Pepsi that I got decades ago and won't sell it due to the capital gains tax owed. I never got cigarette stocks ( reflects poorly as a cancer doc).

The more I think about it, I'd probably do it for much less than $1M. I'm far from a public figure and nobody knows who I am so they wouldn't listen anyway. I could do it this afternoon for $100.

I'd endorse diet mt dew for a lifetime supply. Edit me poorly into doing extreme sports, like skydiving or rock climbing in my white coat.

Diet soda, maybe, but i would not claim health benefits.
Like beer or wine I occasionally drink it.
I laugh at people who say diet soda is the devil then down a bottle of nice red wine or 2-3 beers.
Cold coke zero.
i know it is not great and causes bizarre stuff (insulin resistance, which seems like witchcraft to me from artificial sweeteners with zero calories). It is linked to weight gain and diabetes. the acidity is also bad for teeth.
I could endorse if asked if i like it. 1M, sure.
I would also give the claim:
1. zero calories, 2. zero sugar 3. tastes great 4. drink in moderation
People endorse beer and hard alcohol all the time.
I could not lie and say it was healthy. Not for any price…….I hope.
Also, i am not famous or attractive enough to endorse anything and docs are a dime a dozen, quacks on every corner, i bet you could get a doc to do it for 200/hour.

I think there’s a difference between saying something like Coke is healthy and that you like it. Has anyone in recent memory endorsed Coke as healthy?

Although I would have to consider the impact of the plastic bottles and agua that some companies promote that is basically tap water from another location.
$1m for soda and $1m for bottled water. Not a dime for paper straws. Recycle the bottles. I support the environment!

Done. Where do we get the contract?

Coca-Cola shares drop $5 billion after Cristiano Ronaldo's gesture to drink water
Coca-Cola shares dropped from $56.17 to $55.22 after Ronaldo moved two Coke bottles out of view and picked up a bottle of water before Portugal’s match against Hungary on Monday.
But KO is trading at 57 right now so who knows. C6H1206>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>willpower.

I would 100% endorse a soda for 1million. I would just need to confirm that I'm only required to make factual claims about the product, like "zero calories" and "free of sugar." Though, I'd be willing to state that it "tastes great" even if I didn't feel that way. I do hate soda after all.
Reread your post, if I was required to report that it was "healthy" when all the evidence points to the contrary then I probably would have a lot of trouble doing that. I'd maybe do that for 2 million thoughIf I just had to claim that it was a "healthier" alternative to Coke/Pepsi then I would do it for as little as a couple thousand.

If I could include some kind of ‘delicious in moderation’ statement then absolutely. If it’s basically to say it’s healthy then no. If it was for $10M then I’d probably strongly, strongly consider it and end up doing it.

If yes, at what dollar amount wouldn't you publicly endorse it? 10k? 1k?
If no, would it be yes if you weren't or wasn't on track for FIRE?
Endorsing healthfulness is problematic. I guess if it was something along the lines of a diet soda that tastes great and is healthier for you than a HFCS soda, I could be on board. It would really depend on the specific claim.
