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.

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..

Poor editing job!

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

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.

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

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.

she is a franchise owner under shoppers drug mart pharmacy. She is well known in the Nigerian community . Google her

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!

All coke is bad but theirs is worse than ours. We use sugar, they use high fructose corn syrup. Bad as sugar is corn syrup is worse!

What you displayed there is an inferiority complex plus arrogant ignorance!

Above American coke
Below Nigeria coke

Also note the amount of sodium in their coke compared to ours!

Don’t allow slave mentality to lead you astray, not everything foreign is good!

My advice to you: stay away from American foods. If you must consume foods from multinationals pick the one Made for the European market and avoid the one made for the North American markets. American market foods are all chemicals!

I go to supermarkets and I see all these groceries from America and I think to myself “my people suffer from lack of knowledge”. Avoid processed foods but if you must pick the one for the UK or European market and avoid anything food from the US!


Th last picture is coke from the UK. As you can see it is sugar not HFCS. They have higher standards for foods in the UK and Europe.

Remmember as a rule: if it is food and from America don’t buy! Canned milk is not milk and indomie is chemicals, it is not food: You will thank me in your old age when you are not dealing with cancer!

EDIT: I’ve just realized they have changed the formula for Nigerian coke and have added sucralose. It used to be sugar alone…..Avoid!

What is your point now? How on earth can you be comparing Canada with Nigeria price of commodity?

You too do.

the powdered milk we consume in nigeria is also not real milk

Hopss:
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 .

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
