Jdietz Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Most likely tastes better than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldroj Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 While "... Police found nine foreign migrant workers...", there is no mention of the people running the show. Hardly worth being armed with a search warrant issued by the court !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLang Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) So that's fake Nescafe. Fake L'Oriel shampoo. Fake Heineken. All in original packaging in the last few months. What's next, fake women or visa stamps? Better check yer new Benz to see if it isn't a Kia engine wrapped in cardboard.

Rancid Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Instant coffee is a nasty chemical concoction, would assume though this wasn't about fake coffee, rather about fake branding. Amazing though the variety of things that can be faked in pursuit of a dodgy profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm have you not been around in Thailand... You can find and abundance of fake women, especially in Pattaya. Fake visa stamps has been a problem in the past. So far I have seen 2 Mustang Mach1 and a -59 Chevy with Toyota engines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prbkk Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 When it comes to coffee, the ultimate fakery is the so-called creamer that remains so popular: full of casein, unhealthy Palm oil byproducts, sugars: poison, totally unrelated to cream. Dreadful crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainsbourg Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 A nation who calls 3 in one coffee deserves this fake crap. This being said. Not surprised. Fake everyting around here.
