However, after his successful Olympic gold medal finish during the 2024 Paris Olympics, netizens noticed that he didn’t receive so much recognition from the brand, making them speculate that their partnership was already over.

Amid the discussion on her possible removal from the brand, Carlos announced his new ‘favorite chocolate drink,’ which was owned by a networking company IAM Worldwide.

A video published by the company showed Carlos enjoying the chocolate drink and even explained why it became his favorite.

“Mahilig talaga ako sa chocolate drink, kaya lang madalas hindi ito healthy,” said Carlos. “Pero nahanap ko na ang healthy chocolate drink, ang aking new favorite,”

Some netizens believed that the lines uttered by Carlos in his new endorsement were a swipe against his former brand.

It can be recalled that one of the criticisms received by the said popular chocolate drink brand was its excessive sugar content, which is believed to be one cause of health problems.

Meanwhile, Carlos’s decision received mixed reactions from the netizens.
