I entered a mall in Toronto to.buy coke and the amount will amaze you. Two dollar and forty nine cent ($2.49).

Using the price of 50cl Coke in Canada versus Nigerian which is about Four Hundred naira (N400), I am suspecting that the ingredients are different combination. It means the Coke sold in Nigeria malls and shop are adultereted or of less ingredients.

I have attached the receipt of the Coke for verification in case you doubt..

Read about a case some few years back, a man bought coca-cola in quantities and shipped abroad, thinking of the profit he's going to make, when the consignment got to the designated country, it was shipped back to Nigeria , declaring it unfit for human consumption. so the man sued coca-cola bottling company. The following conversation took place
Prosecutor:Why did you produce a substandard product for me to export, there by making me to lose my resources.
Defendant:we never knew you wanted to export it, the drinks we produce in Nigeria is made for Nigerian market and not for export.
So you see, the coca-cola might look same but not the same quality. Mind you this really happened in Nigeria, it's no fiction .

What the man did was illegal. Multinationals such as Coca Cola usually have policies where a certain factory will serve a certain market i.e Coca Colas concentrate factory in South Africa serves the African market.

Just read up "grey imports."

I really do not like commenting in topics like this because most times they make no single sense....That $2.49 is technically just 2 unit of their currency..can 2 units of nigerian currency buy you that anywhere in Nigeria or Canada?

Don't mind them. It's post like that and how you see plenty of people agreeing to it that usually makes understand that most of our "Nigerian youth" don't actually understand left from right even as they claimed to be educated.

They are clearly seeing that a 2 unit of their currency can buy them a bottle coke and for ours to buy same bottle, you will have to have hundreds of our own currency and still they thinks we are having it better!

Do you think you are talking to illiterates?
All over the world
Coca-Cola has very little nutritional value, primarily consisting of sugar and calories. A 12-ounce can contains approximately 140-155 calories, mainly from sugar. It offers no essential vitamins or minerals and is considered an empty calorie beverage.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Calories: A standard 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola contains roughly 140-155 calories.
Sugars: The primary component of Coca-Cola is sugar, with a 12-ounce can containing around 37-39 grams of sugar.
Fat and Protein: Coca-Cola has negligible amounts of fat (0.9 grams) and protein (0 grams).
Other Nutrients: It contains small amounts of sodium, and trace amounts of other minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron.
Caffeine: Coca-Cola contains caffeine, which can have a stimulating effect on the body.
In essence, Coca-Cola provides energy in the form of calories, primarily from sugar, but lacks essential nutrients found in whole foods and nutrient-rich beverages.

just Google it. punch carried the story

100% lies. Which country will allow you bring in goods that will interfere with the ones in their markets? They will be sizes at the airport if he landed with them. If he intended to ship them in, did he get an import licence? If he got a licence and paid all the import duties on the goods, there's no way he can sell it cheaper than market value. You think it's easy to take a mega cooperation to court? Those that successfully did had solid cases and the funds to follow through. The story is pure fiction

.

just Google the case, and when you confirm it do well to let others know it's no lie

Coca-Cola of Mexico is the sweetest and it is sold in US.

Sweetest diabetes àbí 😏

Poor editing job!

Why is the receipt showing unit price and tax in pounds, yet the total is in dollars?

The GP you see there is Gross Price not Great Britain Pounds!

It actually happened, the bases for impounding those shipments was that when tested the ascorbic acid was much higher than the regional approved standard therefore very unsafe for human consumption. About four containers of goods were destroyed.

Sometimes, try reading about something before you geared up an opinion.

All coke is bad but theirs is worse than ours. We use sugar, they use high fructose corn syrup. Bad as sugar is corn syrup is worse!

What you displayed there is an inferiority complex plus arrogant ignorance!

Above American coke
Below Nigeria coke

Also note the amount of sodium in their coke compared to ours!

Don’t allow slave mentality to lead you astray, not everything foreign is good!

My advice to you: stay away from American foods. If you must consume foods from multinationals pick the one Made for the European market and avoid the one made for the North American markets. American market foods are all chemicals!

I go to supermarkets and I see all these groceries from America and I think to myself “my people suffer from lack of knowledge”. Avoid processed foods but if you must pick the one for the UK or European market and avoid anything food from the US!


Th last picture is coke from the UK. As you can see it is sugar not HFCS. They have higher standards for foods in the UK and Europe.

Remmember as a rule: if it is food and from America don’t buy! Canned milk is not milk and indomie is chemicals, it is not food: You will thank me in your old age when you are not dealing with cancer!

EDIT: I’ve just realized they have changed the formula for Nigerian coke and have added sucralose. It used to be sugar alone…..Avoid!

Give us the link. Don't just tell me to Google it. It will be very wrong to export coke to any country. The amount you will spend on transportation ue even enough to drive you away.

duduade:
OP are your sure you have international port sef

You mean Nigerian port?

If we should work with Nigeria rate, that Coke should be around 9 dollars

Baawaa:
Two dollars means Two naira , Tinubu has finished this country

Your analysis is very myopic and unintelligent. How can you equate value of currency to unit? Why are people in USA or Canada receiving 70,000 naira as minimum wage?

motymop:


This is the dumbest stuff I have ever read in a while.

It is obvious you have no idea about minimum wage or the concept of money

pls explain.

motymop:
There are many reasons why coke is expensive in some countries and why they are cheaper in another and also why they taste differently.

Why are they expensive. Production cost, tax and also logistics cost( moving them from one place to another) one important stuff is foreign exchange fluctuation when importing the base ingredients.

A 50cl coke cost around 300 naira in Canada like you write down 2.49( 400 naira)

It is obvious that cost of production will be higher in Canada than in Nigeria, wages are also lower in Nigeria.

Also the only reason coke taste differently in Canada and Nigeria is simple. Most times, they make sure to adapt to the local taste.

The base ingredients are the same but they also try to adapt to our loca taste in of sweetness. Making it too sweet here in Nigeria might make them lose sales while in another country if it is not sweet they won't buy it.

It is the same way KFC in New York will have different taste from the one in Japan.

Also the shop that guy bought that coke their stuffs are always expensive. Dollarama is more cheaper. Might be less than $2 there.

they sell Nigerian coke / alomo etc at African stores in uk/canada . Its very expensive and was not imported to compete with local products. Its for people craving the 9ja ones.

Ok, noted.

Thanks!

I see people who compare prices of goods in Nigeria to any abroad price as people who are not realy economically and financially intelligent.

You bought coke classic and you want to compare with nigeria

I entered a mall in Toronto to.buy coke and the amount will amaze you. Two dollar and forty nine cent ($2.49).

Using the price of 50cl Coke in Canada versus Nigerian which is about Four Hundred naira (N400), I am suspecting that the ingredients are different combination. It means the Coke sold in Nigeria malls and shop are adultereted or of less ingredients.

I have attached the receipt of the Coke for verification in case you doubt..

the price it relative to income. The ingridents are different but based on regional taste (less or no carbination in Nigeria, more sugar)

Shoppers drug mart is a store. Might be big, it's not a mall.

There's no difference. Naija own seems better in my mouth. Canada Coke and naija Coke are same.

I am seeing Ezurike Pharmacy on your receipt? Is that an Igbo word?

Yes, Nneka Ezurike is certified pharmacist in Canada

Well in Europe, 1.5L is about €1.95 , with Pepsi, also...
No much difference in prices among stores.

First things first, what's the minimum wage in Canada, compare it....also check the inflation rate in both countries...then we can draw our conclusions
