LucidLucifer Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Soon to be followed by Coke advertising hoardings adorning every single conceivable space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 so does this mean that they never had any Fanta as well? then what did they do for cold, fizzy drinks? inconceivable in a hot climate... maybe there is a 'Mandalay Cola' produced by some corrupt local industrialist associated with the military...

Tywais Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 It's not a proper country until it opens 7-11's every few hundred meters apart. Oh wait - 7-Eleven stores to open in Myanmar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I quote, "There are more than 40,000 stores across the world with some 45,000 staff, it said." So with 39, 998 of them in Thailand, I wonder where the other couple are located?

And with about 6 staff in every 7/11 here there must be quite a few that are without any staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Allowing coke in- they'll be sorry. Followed by all the other expensive fat laden fast food chains, no doubt. Still, who cares if the obesity and diabetes rates soar, as long as the stockholders get rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superyacht Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Been here for a couple of years and never had a problem getting Coke, Schwepps tonic is a problem as they keep running out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they always had Fanta. What would all the spirit house dwellers do without red Fanta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_mike Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Shame Coke can't sort out their distribution issues in Thailand. After all the floods were over 6 months ago. Or am I the only one having problems finding bottles of Coke Zero larger than 500ml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had a problem finding sugary drinks in Burma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DagonKhan Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Two versions of Coke sold here, either from Thailand (cheaper) or from Singapore (more expensive). It's been that way for at least 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) how can anyone have forgotten the imperialist threat of the coca-cola company? an unstable burmese coca-cola?...god help us all!...

householder Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The hoardings are everywhere and Coke were the exclusive drinks distributor at the recent 80,000 capacity concert - but since USAID were funding it, no surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
