I entered a mall in Toronto to.buy coke and the amount will amaze you. Two dollar and forty nine cent ($2.49).

Using the price of 50cl Coke in Canada versus Nigerian which is about Four Hundred naira (N400), I am suspecting that the ingredients are different combination. It means the Coke sold in Nigeria malls and shop are adultereted or of less ingredients.

I have attached the receipt of the Coke for verification in case you doubt..

Cost of labour also adds to it.

Canadian dollars

The coke we drink here is the type they use to wash engine and toilet in obodo oyibo

Read about a case some few years back, a man bought coca-cola in quantities and shipped abroad, thinking of the profit he's going to make, when the consignment got to the designated country, it was shipped back to Nigeria , declaring it unfit for human consumption. so the man sued coca-cola bottling company. The following conversation took place
Prosecutor:Why did you produce a substandard product for me to export, there by making me to lose my resources.
Defendant:we never knew you wanted to export it, the drinks we produce in Nigeria is made for Nigerian market and not for export.
So you see, the coca-cola might look same but not the same quality. Mind you this really happened in Nigeria, it's no fiction .

I really do not like commenting in topics like this because most times they make no single sense....That $2.49 is technically just 2 unit of their currency..can 2 units of nigerian currency buy you that anywhere in Nigeria or Canada?

Stop talking nonsense. 2 units of their currency. So why are they not earning 250,000 units of their currency monthly?

The price of that should be benchmarked against the average salary there.

I am seeing Ezurike Pharmacy on your receipt? Is that an Igbo word?

Poor editing job!

Why is the receipt showing unit price and tax in pounds, yet the total is in dollars?

Coca-Cola of Mexico is the sweetest and it is sold in US.

They won't sell the same thing in US IN Mexico because each country has different standards. Most of what is sold in USA will not pass the test in EU.

Two dollars means Two naira , Tinubu has finished this country

OP are your sure you have international passport sef

Hmmmmmmmmmm 😮, very surprised, that means that Nigeria government is Dead.

What is the % of the price of coke with respect to the minimum wage vs that of Nigeria?

You don't compare apple to orange when you haven't linearized them, this nonsense comparison without recouse to the minimum wage and purchasing power of those climes is meaningless. You can do better

There’s more value for goods and services over here compared to in a third world country,

How many people here earn a half a million dollars per month compared to what you have in Nigeria ?

Naira has no value that’s why $2 seem like big money.

" Nneka Ezuruike"

What do you expect?

Okay nah

Eh? Two dollars mean two naira?

And 100,000 dollars mean 100,000 naira as it applies to salaries or cost of other items?

Indeed, like you said, common sense is not common

100% lies. Which country will allow you bring in goods that will interfere with the ones in their markets? They will be sizes at the airport if he landed with them. If he intended to ship them in, did he get an import licence? If he got a licence and paid all the import duties on the goods, there's no way he can sell it cheaper than market value. You think it's easy to take a mega cooperation to court? Those that successfully did had solid cases and the funds to follow through. The story is pure fiction

This is the dumbest stuff I have ever read in a while.

It is obvious you have no idea about minimum wage or the concept of money

Na dem sabi

There are many reasons why coke is expensive in some countries and why they are cheaper in another and also why they taste differently.

Why are they expensive. Production cost, tax and also logistics cost( moving them from one place to another) one important stuff is foreign exchange fluctuation when importing the base ingredients.

A 50cl coke cost around 300 naira in Canada like you write down 2.49( 400 naira)

It is obvious that cost of production will be higher in Canada than in Nigeria, wages are also lower in Nigeria.

Also the only reason coke taste differently in Canada and Nigeria is simple. Most times, they make sure to adapt to the local taste.

The base ingredients are the same but they also try to adapt to our loca taste in terms of sweetness. Making it too sweet here in Nigeria might make them lose sales while in another country if it is not sweet they won't buy it.

It is the same way KFC in New York will have different taste from the one in Japan.
