Fake instant coffee seized in godown in Pathum Thani

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Police seized about two million baht worth of fake instant coffee in raid of a warehouse in Pathum Thani province on Thursday.

 

Armed with a search warrant issued by the court, a police force led by Pol Maj-Gen Chavalit Sawaengpuet, deputy commissioner of Central Investigation Bureau, and representatives of Nestle raided a rented warehouse in Tambon Klong Phra-udom following a tip-off that fake instant coffee was mass-produced in the premise.

Most likely tastes better than the original.

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 !!!

 

 

[taichiplanet]

at least they used coffee and not something else.

[Brer Fox]

No one should be complaining. It's what the PM calls "innovation".

[Pimay1]

If it was fake coffee then what was inside the packages? What ingredients?

[Emster23]

Even the "real stuff" is fake....

I am sure they had used Black Ivory Coffee as a substitute for the real expensive Nescafe.

They were busy managing their fake Heineken factory at the time.

 

 

They'll head over to the police station for some questioning in 2019.

[DLang]

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.

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.

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

Maybe those cars were imported from Cuba.

Most of the old Yank Tanks in Havana have Japanese engines now.

Given the choice of the original or a Toyota UZ or UR, I know which I would choose.

Caught on camera!

[Bluespunk]

"Police found nine foreign migrant workers working in the godown, over 89,000 packs of fake instant coffee, over 280,000 empty packs, 19 sacks of mixed instant coffee awaiting to be packed, four mixing machines and four packaging machines."

 

So what was fake?

 

The branding?

[ableguy]

On a recent trip to India I saw a fake fakir, my friend told me the fakir was fake , jeez you just never fracking know as they say in the oil industry.

[Prbkk]

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.

[Gainsbourg]

A nation who calls 3 in one coffee deserves this fake crap. This being said. Not surprised. Fake everyting around here. Guy on my local market sells "100% natural coconut water" laced with a kilo of refined sugar. Lol. Waaaaaaaaaaàn.

[Stargeezr]

I used to drink that coffee. Well I will not be doing that any more.

  Geezer
