Alga-like Substance Found Inside A Pack Of "Capri-sonne" Pix by hercatonchires(op): 7:24pm On May 13, 2017

I took a pack of capri-sonne today out of the carton, the size looked a bit unusual. I chose not to give this one to my daughter coz of my suspicion. I refrigerated it for few minutes and decided to chill out with it. After a few sips(it tasted okay ) , the flow seemed to have been restricted. I took the straw my daughter used to drink hers to see if the straw was the issue, but the result was the same.
I double checked the expiry date to ensure it's intact.
At this point, I had no other option than to trim the edge of the pack and pour into a container (I used a container with white internal coating). After pouring the content into the container, lo and behold, the liquid contained an algae-like substance, just similar to the green stuff extracted from jerry-cans or kegs used for storing water over a long time.
I almost puked at the sight.

I didn't share this to hurt "Capri-Sonne", but to warn everyone. Try as much as possible to empty the content of drinks, juices or whatever liquid that isn't in a transparent bottle.
I had this encounter with Capri-Sonne, yours might be with Viju, Bobo, Lucozade boost, ribena, CWAY or even the regular Coca-Cola, Lacassera etc.
Especially for the sake of those little kids who take them along with their lunch kits every now and then.

To be forewarned is to be forearmed and prevention is better than cure.
