No Moccona Instant Coffees At Tesco Lotus?

[Portlandstone]

Have just come back to Thailand and was hoping to restock some of my favorite stuff -- Moccona Trio three in one instant. Not at all to be seen at Tesco. Business fallout? Also noticed that 7-11 has very little of it as well.

Probably related to the floods. Coca cola finally back in stock everywhere but not the full range. Nesvita seems to be out of stock any place I've looked the past few weeks as well.

I am sorry, but it is getting ridiculous here.

Flood has been declared over for weeks now, still no Pepsi Max, Coke Zero or Cola light.

A lot of other stuff also not available. Especially in the "beverage"- section of smaller shops (7eleven, family mart) it looks desperate.

You shouldn't be drinking instant coffee anyway.

It's rubbish, make the effort, drink the real stuff.

I think it might take a while to startup the factories that are producing this stuff. That is the only explanation that i can give. Damage was massive.

I totally agree...though there are still neighboring countries, that were not flooded and still a gazillion dollar company like Pepsi or Coke are not getting the stuff here???

Coke is on sale everywhere.

Pepsi are locked in to some sort of bottling/distribution dispute (unrelated to flood).

I can only imagine that the prices would have to rise too much. Locally produced is cheaper. So they dont import because else they have to raise the prices and that might put people off their product for a long time even when prices go down.

(best explanation i could come up with)
