(I live in Nepal, regardless of what this flag sys, though I am from the US-ofA)

So I have recently learned of armed police (police with blue uniforms, steel hemets and assault rifles) battering down the doors of a prominent sweets and pastry shop chain, the Nepali military is a bit dysfuncuional, but they take things seriously.

Apparently the chain (a local one) has been raided in a mass-group-of-raids against fanta, Coke and candy factories, when the police arrived at the procesing, there was a Direct pipeline without any filters whatsoever, form the sewage ditch to the mixing vats.

yes, they have been using sewage and ditchwater for their pastries and other stuff.

before you claim BS, this is the third world, for many chains, they don't care whether their customers get sick. they gross one million rupees a day.

now to the bottling factories.

The bottling factories of sodas such as fanta, Sprite, even milk refineries were raided earlier this week. when the HealthDept armed police arrived, they trawled the bottoms of the syrup tanks and found over three hundred dead roaches in each tank. when the contents were stirred up, several rats that had evidently drowned floated up.

next time you holiday in Nepal, bring your own food.


This has been confirmed as 100% true, by dozens of police, Government officials and bystanders.

what do you think of all this?

Sorry to spoil this for you but the military wear uniforms a lot...
It's kinda their thing.
Incidentally why do the Health Department have armed police?
And frankly the fact a company would do that is shocking.

('Armed police' that is a branch of the police that forms a bridge between soldier and cop. the HealthDept is a lot different form the one in the UK and US, they have troops for 'quarantining')

Did I? Damn.

So all these peopel get sick over 13.5k USD a day?

Damn, corrupt companies are cheap in Nepal.

Kaka-Kola. It's the real thing

Drink Sprite! it's gak!

Seven Throw Up

I really should be in marketing.

Curse you swear filter, gak doesn't rhyme!

yeah. It really is appalling.

I saw the gutters they got it from. there are frogs and the water is almost mud.

That is one way to help kids lose weight.

Pssh what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, this just confirms my suspicions that Coke has been trying for years to manufacture its own army of Napelese Supermen!

We are a hardy people.

We have to be. the bugs here are huge.

and the river contains two-headed fish.

I'm still in a state of shock that Nepal has Fanta. I mean come on Nepal was enlightened and all that . Fanta is like the sticky armpit of soft drinks.

Fanta is more than the sticky armpit now, it is the sticky sewagey armpit.

And yeah, the 'western stuff' gets here easily.

Do you have a source? I'd like to read an article on this.

I will try to find one, but it will probably be in Devaneghiri...

Wait the Kingdom of Hyrule exists why didn't anyone tell me this. Now all I need is a master sword so I can slay Ganondorf who's obviously behind all this.

I don't know, that sounds like a half-baked scheme. Though their profits may rise, they aren't going to have enough dough to pay for the lawyers they'll knead.

They would likely lose more money than they would make...

Until they find an alternate source of fat.

I've been to Nepal and this story doesn't shock me at all. Nepal makes India look like a Utopia. I became a vegetarian when I went there after seeing a few of the butcher shops in Thamel. I only drank Tuborg canned in Denmark and the bottled water they sold everywhere. I also got to witness a few heavy beat downs done by the authorities, who seemed to be everywhere.

Nice to hear they are trying to stop the pop manufacturers from using water with human gak in it.

Where do you think they got the water for those bottles?

This is how they toughen up their people so they can become a Ghurkha.

ineptus astartes you need to man up and drink your carbonated cockroach and rat juice if you want to realise your dream of becoming one of Her Space Majesties loyal soldiers.

The water is bottled in/near the Himalayas. The big soft drink plants are in Kathmandu. The rural areas might not be up to 'code', but their source of water would have a lot less human feces, decomposing bodies, garbage in general than Kathmandu. Seriously, Nepal was the year 1100 AD with cars that all needed oil changes.

*edited once for horrific grammar mistake.

I think they're hacking; since it's well known you can only hold 255 Rupees. Even if they found a way around it, damn, that's a lot of breaking pots and shaking bushes.

When the Brittanic Space Empire becomes a reality we will need all the people we can get to make sure we hold on to what we rightfully took from other people because they were silly enough to try and fight us.
