Investigation Reveals Fake Coca-Cola Sold in Novosibirsk for 120 Rubles

Residents of Novosibirsk were surprised to find a bottle of Coca-Cola produced in Russia being sold in retail. The 0.9-liter plastic bottle indicated that the soda was poured on February 3, 2023, at the Aleksandrovka farm in the Rostov region. The label showed that the manufacturer was Coca-Cola HBC Eurasia, with permission from The Coca-Cola Company. This discovery comes seven months after the brand officially left the Russian market.

The local branch of Coca-Cola has since been renamed Multon Partners, and the drink is now produced under the Dobry Cola brand at the same factories. A journalist from the NGS.ru website visited the place where the old new Russian cola was being sold. At a fruit stall, 900 ml of soda was being sold for 120 rubles. The seller was unfriendly and did not disclose the source of the product. The quality of the drink was also subpar, with the buyer describing it as diluted and having a strange smell.

Furthermore, there were noticeable issues with the bottle itself. Compared to Dobryi Cola, the label on the Russian Coca-Cola bottle was poorly pasted, as if it was done by hand rather than automatically. NGS.ru conducted a blind taste test, and surprisingly, the Coca-Cola from Russia-2023 outperformed Dobry Cola and two types of original cola from Afghanistan and Kazakhstan. However, the scores for the Russian cola were controversial, ranging from 1 to 8. The authors of the investigation believe that the sample from the fruit stall in Novosibirsk is a fake, as Coca-Cola has truly left Russia and no longer produces the drink under its world-famous brand.

The question remains as to who would buy a liter of Coca-Cola for 120 rubles. In other news, there have been three terrible advertisements for substitutes for Coca-Cola and Pepsi, including a rap by “Chernogolovki” and Yegor Creed for Coolcola.

What are the possible reasons for the presence of a counterfeit Coca-Cola product in Novosibirsk, Russia, despite the brand officially leaving the market?

Residents of Novosibirsk were in for a surprise when they discovered a bottle of Coca-Cola being sold in retail, despite the brand officially leaving the Russian market seven months ago. The bottle, a 0.9-liter plastic container, indicated that the soda had been poured on February 3, 2023, at the Aleksandrovka farm in the Rostov region. The label showed that it was manufactured by Coca-Cola HBC Eurasia, with permission from The Coca-Cola Company.

However, there were some noticeable discrepancies with the bottle and the quality of the drink itself. The label on the Russian Coca-Cola bottle was poorly pasted, appearing as if it had been done by hand instead of automatically. A journalist from NGS.ru visited a fruit stall where the “old new” Russian cola was being sold. The seller, who was unfriendly, did not disclose the source of the product. Upon tasting the drink, the buyer described it as diluted and having a strange smell.

In a blind taste test conducted by NGS.ru, the Russian Coca-Cola surprisingly outperformed the local brand Dobry Cola, as well as two types of original cola from Afghanistan and Kazakhstan.
