Once Most Wanted,Now...?

Recently got an SMS which goes like this...."Don't forget to drink a cola after eating a cadbury chocolate...Why?Because worms are killed by pesticides....Issued in public interest."

One of the popular beverages company is undergoing a bad market since the presence of pesticides is found in the product.I could remember an article in the newspaper about the use of Coke&Pepsi as pesticide in the farms of Tamil Nadu.Farmers opinion on this---"cheapest pesticide".

Same trend for the cadbury company too once an worm was found in the cadbury chocolate.But later they advertised as purity,sealed,.......




















But after all these issues,have the people stopped using these products?

After this issue,sale of fruit juices have grown up.Frooti,maaza started having new packs in bottle similar to coke & pepsi.

Marc said...

Well No! I am only with Scotch,V.S.O.P.,vodka,rum and all the other good stuff. LOL! Kidding. I drink more of bottled water than any other form of liquid,but if comes to juice it's only apple juice.

lakshmi-nice awareness blog that seemed quite revealing..alarmed that folks still drink this stuff..........

Archana Ramesh said...

No.....but its very rare that I drink. Moreover a sip or two would just be it. And the Cadbury's thing, I actually found worms in the chocolate in Bangalore!!

Btw, you were in Bradford??

worried to see the pictures on fake colas...first time seeing it...
I think all these pesticide stuff is only hapening in the indian market...these colas are the big business in gulf & other countries where they have stringent health constraints... they would have not allowed these if they had harmful components in it...Only in India the manufacturers take people for granted...afterall we have enough human resources?

dunno if this is true..but ..in arab countries...it is said..pepsi n coke are first poured on the telephone boxes in the desert bfore they are repaired...this is to remove the rust on it! stopped drinking them after that!

Filtered sambar --
When this news was very popular in India,many indians stopped using the product & me too.

veejay --
Craze has come down a bit and that's why they lowered the price of coke& pepsi by half the rate.

ramo --
Ofcourse,manufacturers take indian customers for granted.

lakshmi said...

godolphin --
Oh!a different issue in arab countries? I guess each country has something to tell about these kind of products.

Keshi --
