PATHUM THANI — Should the slain leader of India’s independence movement be offered bottles of red Fanta to appease his spirit of civil disobedience? Probably not, a professor said Monday.

 

After offerings of Fanta were found in front of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute at Bangkok’s Rangsit University, a professor was left scratching his head at the gesture.

Umm, professor, it is a Thailand where any inanimate object is welcome of 10 baht small bottles of fanta deng ...don't forget the straw mind. ...so whats the confusion here?

Our ghosthouses love fanta daeng (and so do the soidogs but don't make that public).

 

Why would Gandhi not like it?

"The university built the Gandhi Institute and a statue of Gandhi to honor him, and suddenly this is placed in front of it. What do they see Gandhi as, I wonder?” Sinchai Chaojaroenrat, a religious studies lecturer at Rangsit University wrote on his Facebook profile."

 

Snob.

..... it is just red drink.......

What´s all this fuzz about colors? Red Fanta in one place, red shirts in another and colorful emotions when videos goes viral. I am actually starting to see red! 

I don't want half finished plastic cups of drinks either but they keep being left in front of the house.

Excessive sugar!

Offer him some chicken wings for chrissakes. The man looks like he's been fasting.
