A few days back while stuck in heavy traffic, on my way back from the office, in a bus, one of the passengers seated beside me called out on the drink sellers, she wanted something cold…and the seller offered her a bottle of la casera but she declined “la casera…wetin, abeg sama mi another better drink” and i was like “really” she settled for coke instead.

She began telling the passenger on her other side of how la casera drink turns her in the tummy “anytime i drink it, it turns my tummy especially when it’s not cold”..anyways, after i alighted from the bus, i got myself a bottle of the drink (though cold) and nothing happened.
Today’s incident is what baffled me.
Was at a summit and when drinks were served, many of them rejected the la casera drink, those that had it on their tables already did not touch it and when i was given mine, the lady beside me said, “stop taking it la casera, it has a bleaching substance/chemical inside…” , three other persons confirmed it.
Someone even said “I was at a seminar last week and we were specifically warned from taking the drink…if you notice, mechanics always use it to wash car engines”
Ooops!
And there I knew I just had to share it with you guys to know if you have also heard the news…and for La casera management to come out to either deny the report or explain what is going on! #okbye.
I SAW THIS ON FACEBOOK,AND DECIDED TO PUT IT HERE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS CONFIRMED IT..COULD IT BE TRUE

Cynthia::: Na wan new cream ooo.. The name na NiveaCASERA..
Biola:: Me na DoveCASERA i dey use..
Sandra:: Na vaselineCASERA Ii dey use...
..
All izz well!

There was a time I took it and I landed in the hospital the next day, was admitted for 3days, though one thing have noticed about it is that it's not advisable to take it inside an empty stomach, after then have taken it several times without any negative effects

Raymondenyi: What of gala? Because na dia 2 I dey alwayys combine ohh!!!

nri ndi ara

I quit taking that drinking for close to 2yrs now, becos I was always experiencing heart burn any time I take it. So I had to stop it.
As for the bleaching content, that I don't know about.

Rudebwoy: Na wao for nairalanders. Lots of wrong grammar here and the mods are not even helping out. What a shame.

Nobody is above mistake.

BTW, not just La casera but all soft drinks are dangerous for the health.Each contain a very dangerous chemical.

chei: I drink la casera more than water. I sweat la casera, i piss la casera and I shìt la casera. I don't joke with lacasera and alomo bitters.
These are just lies told to bring down the name of a reputable company. I remember when the same thing was done to indomie a few years back.
I'll keep on drinking la casera till nafdac bans it.

lolz

Can't remember the last time i drank lacasera.

Agbgift: I quit taking that drinking for close to 2yrs now, becos I was always experiencing heart burn any time I take it. So I had to stop it.

yeah about the heart burns, that true with me too. That is the reason i stop drinking it.

..#teamoccupyla'casera

The funny thing is that, I know it is dangerous for my health but I just can't stop.Infact, I drank one yesterday and am planning to drink one today.

No Qualms: I hope this is untrue because I have drunk a lot of la casera in this my life.

"Have drunk" instead of drank....very correct because Anomalous verb always attract past participle!

*double post*

Fussbot: click like if u have been taking lacasera since God knows when and u've neva had any cause for complaints

YOLO! Pity u much

As the only educated person on this thread(obviously), I have a question to ask those who say it contains a bleaching agent/harmful chemical. What is the name of this chemical?
When you give me the answer, also tell me how NAFDAC approved a drink with a harmful substance in it.
