Small cans of Heinekin - on the way out?

Featured Replies

It may seem trivial but are small cans of Heinekin on the way out?

My local Big C. hasn't had small cans for about 6 weeks. I have been to other branches and the same.

Ok, I decided to go to Foodland. Plenty of large cans but no small ones.

I found some small ones in Seven Eleven, but have no idea how old they are.

I seem to remember Carlsberg being in the same situation a few years back.

Oh: I asked the staff at Big C. The only answer I got was "mai mee" (we don't have any.). So asked when they would come. Reply - "don't know"

Look on the bottom of the can where they have best before dates printed.

..... but sometimes after a couple of big cans I only need a small one.

I saw some small ones in Big C last week and they were them stupid looking tall thin ones.

Yeah I see small cans that are the tall thin ones just like some of the soda cans.

Heineken has now repackaged the can to a smaller size. Any original size cans are now outdated. The new size can is available everywhere.

Sounds like a very straight forward, realistic answer. Did you really expect some low-level employee at Big C to have ready information on product size availability for one of thousands of things they stock?

If it's really that important to you, call the distributor.

Have similar problems a few months ago trying to find the small bottles in Big C upcountry. Large bottles get warm too quickly in this hot weather.

Found only small number of cases in local Makro and cleaned them out.

1st world problems in a 3rd world country.

Well how about just recapping the large bottle and putting it back in the fridge? If it gets warm too quickly, you are not wearing a condom on the bottle or you drink too slow.

Open a bottle, pour the beer into a glass which is in a condom and put the bottle back into the fridge.

I find a bottled beer is so much nicer than the canned beer .

If i am unfortunate to have canned beer i look for a glass.

Cans always remind me of the tramps in the parks.

Sounds like the story of our life when we are in Thailand, every time i ask This is the answer.....

Shops even Big C, Tesco, Makro have poor inventory control on many products and are

out from time to time. You may go in in another 6 weeks and the small cans are in stock

again, maybe, maybe not. blink.png

Amen to that

This is why Singha have infuriated me with this changing of the large bottle. A sad day :(
