You're purchasing the drink because you think it tastes better. Making a statement would be saying, "I like Coke better than Pepsi."
You making a choice because I believe it tastes better is speech. It's an action designed to express an opinion.
You're exerting your economic power to try to change a situation you don't like. Making a statement would be saying, "I think what Company X does is wrong."
Exerting economic power is a statement. You're using economic power as speech.
