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..

so u want the price of Coke in Nigeria to be same as in Canada. While monthly minimum wage (which most statr governors are not even paying) is N70,000 (61CAD) while minimum monthly wage is at least 2000 CAD.
You don't know anything about 'Cost of production?'
If coke is too cheap in Nigeria, why don't u come back yo Nigeria and continue cheap coke?

Nairaland, when will stop pushing Fake News to front page?

This is €1.50 in Germany.

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

I just weak

To think that this post will likely be the most liked post in this thread shows the level of r3 -tard4tion among Nigerian citizens.

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

That's not true. The coke we drink is the type they use to wash dead body and fumigate their environment in obodo oyibo

What u earn per hour can buy u Coke in canada. What u earn per hour cant get u Coke in Nigeria

Oga the difference is clear. Your coke is not just a Coke o, it's Coke Classic. So what do you expect? Lol

Magnetic010:
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?

a very senseless contribution

I bought sprite today at £2.55 and it tastes so different as well. Likewise their fanta. I they use ingredients that are healthier for their soft drinks.

It is sold for €1.55 here in Austria but if you return the bottle to a vending machine, you will get a €0.25 voucher which can be exchanged as for a cash or use it to buy somthing

Look, even if the ingredients are the same the production costs are different...there is something called 'mark-up' in business, you guys should just stop making baseless comparisons already

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 .

U just spoke my mind.

You can't compare prices like that because the economies are different! Labour cost and everything is different while the ingredients/recipe may most likely be the same.

What's the minimum wage in Canada, I don't think it's less than 14$/hr. Do the maths, 14$x40x4x1600 = N716,800. That's the minimum wage for one month in Canada when converted to your Naira while Nigerian minimum wage is less than 10%. As a matter of fact, 70000/4/5/8 comes to N437.50 which is equivalent to $0.27/hr. So, cost of coke in Nigeria is N450 and in Canada is N3700. So, now you see it's even cheaper in Canada. When next you make such comparison, take the context into consideration too.

Peace!

Poor editing job!

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

Ignorance is a disease

My woman had a course mate who is from Liberia, she said the woman used to tell them that Nigeria soft drinks are not sweet enough. She said at times the woman will buy three malta guinness, pour it in a container, then bring out sugar from her bag and pour into the malt before she will drink it.

Same malt that many Nigerians will consider too sweet.

motymop:
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.

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

She owns a franchise in Shoppers
Therefore, she is the owner of the pharmacy.

It will be wise you make profit of your family's sacrifices in purchasing visa and flight ticket for you .

Displaying ground shattering ignorance online is the fastest way to leave Imprints of your ignorance for all time for your future generations to see.

Show us the link. Exporting coke from Nigeria to where. I doubt it.
Coca-Cola has very little nutritional value, primarily consisting of sugar and calories. A 12-ounce can contains approximately 140-155 calories, mainly from sugar. It offers no essential vitamins or minerals and is considered an empty calorie beverage.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Calories: A standard 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola contains roughly 140-155 calories.
Sugars: The primary component of Coca-Cola is sugar, with a 12-ounce can containing around 37-39 grams of sugar.
Fat and Protein: Coca-Cola has negligible amounts of fat (0.9 grams) and protein (0 grams).
Other Nutrients: It contains small amounts of sodium, and trace amounts of other minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron.
Caffeine: Coca-Cola contains caffeine, which can have a stimulating effect on the body.
In essence, Coca-Cola provides energy in the form of calories, primarily from sugar, but lacks essential nutrients found in whole foods and nutrient-rich beverages.

Clowns will not understand the truth in your comment.

A bottle of coke in a supermarket in Nigeria is not less than N1000. The equivalent hourly minimum wage in Nigeria is about N295.

Luckysbab:
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.

This is the minimum wage in Canada per hour.
Now for someone working in Canada, his hourly wage can easily buy him 8 bottles of that.
Now back in Nigeria,
Minimum wage is 70k a month
Divide with 22 working days is roughly 3k per day
Divide 3k by 8 working hours, that's roughly 400 per hour.
So answer the questions, 8 bottles to 1bottle.
Which will u go for?
At least if u want to talk, talk with sense. Not everyone is as daft as the 24people that liked this ur stupid comment

Aba FAKE coke!

I have realized that in western countries, the smaller the volume of a soft drink the more expensive it is. The OP shouldn’t be surprised to find a 2L coke bottle cheaper than the 50cl bottle.

Nigerians in diaspora stop displaying your illiteracy online everyday.

Can you also show us Canadian salary vs Nigerian salary.
You want to earn Canadian salary and spend in Nigerian commodity prices.

Mad people

False!

Not same quality.
Stop defending nonsense

Give us the link. Don't just tell me to Google it. It will be very wrong to export coke to any country. The amount you will spend on transportation ue even enough to drive you away.

The man is still on the case.

Is this the actual bottle you bought in the picture?

That's not true. We have Nigerian Coca-Cola here but it's up to the supermarket if they want to have it on their shelves.

My favourite is the Nigerian fanta.
