jetpilot123 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I seem to find that the Mom & Pop shops or those one off little stores in a condo building that have some really original name like 6/12 sell only munted up cans of coke. Is this stuff coming out the back door or what? if so, surly there is some farang there to make sure the binned stuff stays in the bin. I am getting "bored" hunting through the <deleted> freezer to source a can that does not need to go to a panel shop. Should i go back to my own country? interested to know your thoughts on this.....

G54 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 They used to sell the dented cans of stuff cheap in the UK until they discovered Pensioners and others were denting the cans to get them cheaper. Never made one iota of difference to the food / beverage inside. So where is the problem with dear old Mom n Pops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should i go back to my own country? interested to know your thoughts on this..... i don't know why you would have to go back to your own country, but wouldn't any farang employed "to make sure the binned stuff stays in the bin" be a security guard? what do you reckon that should pay? while we are at it, why don't we have a farang in the government to provide oversight on all decisions made? And, maybe one in the police department to stamp out corruption? now that i think about it, it is home you are yearning for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 In the old days of tin cans dents were potentially dangerous as they could cause a hairline crack in the plating inside the can and subsequent corrosion with it's toxic by products. These days with aluminium (aka aloominum) cans, provided the dent hasn't ruptured the can you are okay. Coca Cola is okay but it needs to be heavily diluted with Mekong (IMO). Don't worry about it, either change your shop or search through the cans for a pristine example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
