Coke Zero & Pepsi Max Shortage Again

[silentnine]

being diabetic and also not really liking plain water can become a bit of a pain in the rear lol.

during and after tge recent floods pepsi max & coke zero were very hard and frequently imposible to find.

for the last week they appaet to of dissapeared yet again.

i'm looking for crates (12bottles *1.25L) or even just the big bottles in singles,

not found them in any of the tesco's or 7's over here on the dark side , nor in big tesco

anyone seen any please

[Jdietz]

Looks like Thailand's "JTL" ordering system (Just-Too-Late) is working as expected again. I.E. order new after you sell the last one.

7-11's on SSCC dark side have had them for me lately. One day might have pepsi max then the next day coke zero bit been fairly steady. I use the 7-11 just across the tracks.

[pmugghc]

Makro has cases finally.

Posted from my Galaxy Nexus.

Just came from the 7-11 I mentioned just across the tracks on SSCC and they also have big bottles of coke zero and small pepsi max 6:50pm

[chops]

Lol. Did I drink too many?

[silentnine]

9:30pm .. 5 bottles of small coke zero SSCC near the market ,, nothing at small tesco.. will have to the 7 near the tracks in thr morning or makro if they have not sold out by then

It's another Thai conspiracy with the aim of keeping the farang slow and fat.

Reason for the shortage are the floods in Bangkok......................Ooops that was 6 months ago.

[FOODLOVER]

At 0830 spotted zeros at Friendship market. Bottles, cans, big bottles, a veritable flotilla. Good luck!

1:00pm: 2 large bottles of coke zero arm in arm with 1 large bottle of pepsi max were seen heading into a karaoke along Soi Siam Country Club. Neither of the suspects were seen to have caps on yet a foul smell of Sang Som was said to have been coming from the bottle of pepsi max who seemed quite intoxicated at the time.

The report was made to the local Thai Cola Police and after investigating the strange occurance the 2 bottles of Coke Zero were found to be members of a local Thai Pop club operating under a larger society known only as "Fanta Dang"

It was further found that the bottle of pepsi max was indeed under age and had not yet develoed carbonation. The 2 Coke bottles were later charged with indecent acts with a non-carbonated soft drink. The 2 suspects were later seen being consumed at the Banglamung police station were police were said to be saying things like "ewwwwwww" and even "gross" and yes that was said in English.

If anyone sees bottles of either pepsi max or coke zero acting suspicious please report it to your local bartender and make sure these evil drinks are detained !!!!!!

[chops]

Can't find anything. Anybody know of a store that has some? I am dying here.

I cleaned the shelf of the bottles of Max from tops the other day. The main soda isle had none but they had about 12 bottles in an end display on sale.

[thenervoussurgeon]

well ,since i started this same topic a month or two ago ,i now have absolutely no problem ,i was in tesco the other day they were awash with it .

but then i am on holiday in Britain

[Jayman]

It's still a major problem to find it in lotus, big C, friendship, food land, and tops. If they do have any it doesn't last more than a day.

[Oink]

Loads of both in Villa Mart today. 14 Baht / can

[phl]

friendship has diet coke and coke zero, BUT no sign of pepsi max anywhere.

really makes me wonder what the problem is and why there is a shortage.

after all if factory's can produce regular coke or pepsi, why can not produce the diet drinks

PS. in friendship its 13 baht /can but no large size bottles

Thanks for the update. I tend to see Pepsi Max more in the single cans (no 6-packs) rather than the bottles. I don't need it so badly that I will buy it 1 can at a time. It's quite puzzling to me as well what could be causing this continued shortage. Then when the stores do have stock it's on sale. Makes no sense to me.

Another item I use that has been in major short supply since the floods in the carnation milk in the cans (non sweetened version). For a while, it was impossible to find non-sweetened canned milk (for coffee or baking). They only sold the thinker heavily sweetened version. Even now when I do find it in the supermarkets I fill the cart.

Cans and small bottles have been available most of the time,but who wants to pay 13 Bht for a 33 cl can if a 1.25 liter bottle is 23 Bht.

What I don't understand is that if they can produce expensive cans and small bottles,why they can't produce big bottles.

Ooops found the answer myself,GREEDINESS

Good,one less we have to share the limited stock with.

[phl]

just thought will update fellow pepsi max lovers.

i was able to get some from tops supermarket on pattaya klang and second road

they had cans and also large bottles, i did buy the lot, but i think they brought out more after i left (they must have been scared i would clear out their stocks.

To make it more funny, i was on a bike, so imagine trying to carry 30 large bottles of pepsi max and 40cans

[Jayman]

My wife just loaded up on pep max bottles at lotus north pattaya.. of course they are on sale. Get it while it lasts.
