Why do take aways sell foreign coke products?!


Question:

Why do take aways sell foreign coke products?

When I get a bottle of coke or can of coke from a local take away they are usally bottled over seas such as Canada or Georgia or someone where else miles away is this legal and whats Coca Colas stance on this in England as ive noticed the UK products now say GB on them. Do other countries Coca Colas have diffrent blends?


Answers:
These are known as parallel import. Goods manufactured under the same name usually by licencees. These are then imported into a country and compete against the goods manufactured there.
The take aways buy them as they're cheaper. The original manufacturers don't like it but can't complain due to competition laws.

please speak english when asking a question and then you will get a good answer

yep...depends on who bottles....Mexico puts real sugar in the Coke...US...not so much...corn syrup likely

They will probably buy it cheaper?

cause thy are cheaper my friend

its still Coke, jus with foreign writing so what does it matter?

The simple answer is that take aways in the UK sell foreign coke because it is cheaper for them to buy. It is usually, end runs or over stock that is sold cheap!! Same stuff so don;t worry!!! Just spelt different

here in australia the coke bottle labels say
bottled under authority of the coca cola company owner of the coca cola trademarks - its bottled in australia

guess that the takeaways in the uk have somehow shipped in coca cola from other countries (cheap supplies maybe)

never noticed anything but coca cola uk on bottles before in the uk

Where are you from? Georgia is not overseas from the U.S.!!! Louisianna is not a sea, its a swamp.

They buy cheap. Look at the sell by date. With the open market you can buy a job lot in bulk if you can move it fast

its probably cheaper i wont buy the foreign ones there disgusting

To increase their profir margins.

As Coca-Cola is such a well known ubiquitous product, who gives a 4x if its bottled in Eastern Europe so long as the drink is the same.
