Coca-Cola
Reviews and Complaints

I have to use pliers to open some of the bottles because the "cap" does not have cuts that are deep enough to allow the top to separate from the ring. Even some of my young sons have difficulty opening the bottles. I do enjoy the drink once I get it open. Not all bottles have this problem and it is parent that it is just one machine that needs correcting. I would appreciate having this adjustment made so I can more easily enjoy your product.

I am a 100% coke customer for the holidays I purchased 16 6pack bottles they were on sale at Krogers . I had a very large Thanksgiving dinner planned when we opened the first bottle it was flat. So I thought nothing of it and opened another flat also. Every bottle was soft and a fresh one is hard. I'm not sure what or why but of course I didn't think to keep register recipe never had a problem with a coke product. But her I set with 16 6 Packs that are not drinkable. Just thought Coke could send some kind of coupon to help recover a portion of my loss. Thank you I will still continue to buy Coke as I think its the best.

I am an owner of a small store in a community in my place. last Dec. 4 in the morning I noticed there is something cloudy black and other residue roaming around inside the bottle then there's also very visible object moving inside the bottle a black color. it moves like a small thin sheets of something like a black paper and other object somewhat like a bundle of dust. and I'm afraid that my customers in my store will discourage and have doubt regarding the sanitation and cleanliness of product specially this particular name.

I'm an Atlanta native, and I'm appalled at how Coca Cola does business in SF. Our business requested a soda gun install on 10/25. After countless follow ups, we have yet to receive the courtesy of an appointment. I've even signed the contract for the gun. I'm having trouble justifying coke for pepsi at this point. Our Ops team is screaming for us to make the switch, and I'm the lone hold out. This kind of unprofessionalism is a full 180 turn from Atlanta operations, and quite frankly it's a sad display of your brand. Email correspondence is below:

I never disputed the existence of emails or follow up visits. My problem is fulfilling a customer request in a timely manner w/ out any update on an execution date. At no point during any email or visit have you offered any solution to that.

Hello Kendrick,

My apologies again for this process taking so long. I spoke with our account coordinator today and he said he would be giving you a call before the end of the day to schedule an install date.

In regards to it being a lack of follow up during this process, I spoke with you via email, phone and I came into Spin on two occasions to speak with you in person regarding this installation and to again apologize for the delay. We often face these challenges when it comes to equipment installs due to our small team and I should have let you know initially that our 2-3 timeline can at times change. However, Kyle will be able to give you a confirmed time and date today when he gives you a call.

Regards,

Chidi

I still haven’t heard anything on when we’re going to make it on the calendar despite the fact that we’re sitting on 4 weeks since I requested an appointment. Who else can I speak to regarding the install of this gun? This is in no way reflective of the Coca Cola brand that I became familiar with during my 30 years in Atlanta. The pile of contacts who I worked with handling private events @ the Coca Cola Headquarters as well as accounts around Atlanta would be ashamed at this lack of follow up.

I find it extremely frustrating that we haven’t so much as made it onto a calendar or received a single update in 4 weeks. Am I to believe that the account coordinator hasn’t added anyone to the instal list since the day I reached out on 10/25? Please forward this message to whoever your supervisor is as well as the account coordinator you referred to below as I’d like to discuss with them.

Thank you in advance

Hello Kendrick – My apologies on this, our install team is pretty backed up right now which is what’s causing the delay. Our account coordinator is out for the day but I will follow up with him on Monday and see if we have your bar gun addition on the calendar yet.

What’s our outlook on getting this gun installed. We originally discussed a 2-3 week window, so I’m just trying to see how far out we are.

Thanks!

I believe there's one other 'flavor' or at a least another button that we're not currently using. We'd like to make that button cranberry juice. As is we have a Q and a T.

Three cans of coca cola, although not opened, were pretty much empty.
All three seemed to have leaked from the bottom, it looks like some kind of acid ate through them! Ruined my shelving as well. More so, wondering what is in the cans... what is in the coca cola if it can eat through aluminum cans! Will never ever drink it again and planning to put it on facebook to warn other people. The pictures will speak for themselves!
My quustion is: what causes this to happen, what ingredient in coca cola makes this happen?

i have purchased a pocket mazza pack from retailer and after open it i saw a big dirt particles inside the sealed mazza pack. i took the bottel under my own safe custody for the proof.if the co does not take the necessary correct action then i will file a case to consumer forum as i have the proof with me and also will ask the common people not to have any more of the mango drink mazza so called hygenic.

Today, Friday, 11-18-16, i purchased a 12 of coke at Walmart. When I got home and I opened it I discovered an issue with 6 of the cans. See photos. The bottom of the 6 cans are dented outward. This prevents them from standing upright. I have attached the receipt and a picture of the boxes codes. Hopefully this is an isolated issue. A refund would be appreciated.

I recently purchased a 24 pack of coca cola cans.
Very very disappointed. After opened they go flat within 5 minutes. Also gave my 13 year old son very bad tummy pain and diarreah.
There is something seriously wrong with these cans. I can not take back to shop as i threw away my receipt. Also i dont drive so had to carry this large box.
I would like you to look into this urgently please

I was drinking 6 or 7 cans of Coke Zero a day and started having chest pain I would not go away / I cut out all the bad things in my life / smoking / sugar and still had chest pain / cut out Coke Zero and it stopped immediately ! I had Aspertame poisoning ! And I wanted you to know about it - you need to tell ppl that drinking accessive amounts of your products can cause heart disease

My name is Caroline Makau, I am a small entrepeneur who supplies the retail stores in Namibia. My friend who used to work in Coca Cola introduced me to the SA regional manager as I was interested to get sole distributorship of Mazoe(Schweppes) in Namibia. My friend intimated that I will get support in terms of growing the product as it is produced in Zimbabwe and I import it to Namibia. I was told Coca-cola likes to work with women trying their luck in business. With that in mind as the sole distributorship was not coming as first and I was eager to proof that I can work I agreed to start buying hoping that the sole distributorship would be granted soon after. The bottler in Namibia had to be asked before they could grant it to my company House of Quality Rice. I provided all the information required and verbally I was told that the then bottler was not interested which made me work hard. But 3 years down the line the SA regional sales manager still calls me a trial and I have invested alot. No marketing assistance is offered as I am a trial. My husband wrote to say that now we are interested to go ahead with the sole distributorship which is what we wanted from the beginning for us to be outlined the requirements as we are tired working not knowing when big brother coca cola will flex they muscles and take it from us after we have grown it. We want to know who is responsible for what and how the business engagement is going to work. An attempt to ask for sole distributorship is faces with a cold response that we are a trial basis and we were not guaranteed that we would get it. Now am distributing Mazoe the whole of Namibia, I have done Marketing for a brand that is not mine and can be taken from me any time. How do you deal with this issues? Coca cola is such a big company, Zimbabwe where Mazoe originated there is a budget for marketing, I was asking for banting, Shelf strips and shelf talker. We are told there is no budget, even stock is send without barcodes and we are told there is no budget for barcodes. We are a cash customer monthly am spending close US$ 18, 000 (in africa that is not small change though it is for cocacola) to import the juice, the exchange rate US to SA rand is very erratic, There is no volume discount if I buy bulk in advance. New Mazoe is infiltrating Namibia from South Africa yet this is my territory, yet all I hear from my contact is that am a trial, with all this money am spending I cannot be just a trial want to know there way forward. Now it has been pegged on the African Bottler who is yet to be found. This is feel is a big company sucking dry a small company, I have dont my part only Coca - Cola is dragging their feel. This leaves me at limbo not too sure if all the investment is in vein. To penetrate a new market needs marketing, I have done that and now with infiltration from south Africa where there is no exchange rate issues, the new distributor will have cheaper products and will simply ride on my hard work. When I asked about the infiltration I was told am a trial and no guarantees. This very unfair and just in case the Mazoe has grown enough it will benefit this SA regional sales manager as it will be added to coca-cola range to be distributed by the bottler. All my effort with have been in vein. How different am I from the women you assist in you 5by20? Am trying to get redress for something that has disturbed me over the time period. I only have contact to Schweppes who I pay and they send the product, they tell me they are hopeless as its a coca cola product so am between a hard stone and a rock. Please give me a transparent way of becoming a distributor and what is expected of me?

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please note the following urgent observations of normal Coca Cola (non-diet/non-Vanilla) servings in the 1.5 litre pet bottles sold in Malaysia, since August 2016 :

1. The flavour is not as 'spicy' as it usually. It is unusually bland and similar to Diet Coke.

2. Not as 'gassy' as it has always been. Similar to drinking from a pet bottle which has been unsealed and opened 24-48 hours earlier.

Complaint no.2 was previously observed in Malaysia in 2010 and a written complaint was logged through the distributor, Tesco Malaysia.

Thank you.

Hisham K.

Before this company took over, I could order weekly if needed. When they took over they switched us to ordering biweekly. I adapted to the new system. Over labor day weekend my delivery date was changed to Tuesday after the Monday Holiday which I understand. The delivery came late Tuesday night we were closed. We are a golf course, we close at dark. I in the past told the rep that the deliveries need to be here before 7pm. Nobody bothered to call me to see if the delivery still needed to be sent later in the week. I called and got the order to be delivered the next Friday the 9th. Today the 14th of September somebody called me for an order I was not in at the time. My previous order date was Thursday for Monday delivery. Without warning it got switched to Wed order for Fri delivery. I am not sure what is going with this company. Miles Kara Food Manager

I bought a 20 oz coke out of coke machine. Notice Share a Coke and song on it. The Song was "No Flex Zone". It caught my curiosity. I went to you tube and started to listen to it. This is not a very nice song for Coke to be advertising.

"No Flex Zone"
(Some of the Lyrics)
I treat these Hoes special, now ya ho jealous Freak Hoes, got several, they tens or better I'm a trendsetter, I'm a go-getter!
###s throw sets and gang bang
Free everybody in the chain gang
Never heard about you, all my hoes they so rude

My friends coke had "Aint No Mountain High Enough"

I always think of Coke as All American product. I do not think you all would want to associate Coke with such degrading words. It gets even worse the F word is used. If this is the song that you all are referring to. I am very disappointed. Shame on the Marketing people that decided on this song.

I am a cashier at a liquor store and we received a delivery from coke today 6/28/2016 at 10:13 a.m. The driver/delivery people were extremely rude and I did not appreciate it, they mixed up dates and did not put the stock away. When I was checking in the stock there was a mix up so I went to go grab my manager just to make sure I wasn't messing anything up and the guy (African American) was yelling at me saying I didn't have to go get him just being very rude. When I got my manager the guy was still being very rude yelling at both me and my manager. I just thought that I would bring this to the attention of the company. I love coke and it's the only soda we drink at my house so it's very disappointing when the people who work there act this way.
I unfortunately did not get the guy's name but here is some info that I hope helps Driver: 0930
It was at star liquor in Maple Grove Mn

A recent shorage of Coca Cola original flavor is taking place right now in Quito, the Ecuador's Capital and one of the most populated city tourist in the country. The Supermarkets' Client Deparment says it may be due to the last government approval of taxes, those which have been applied to food products containing sugar and also because of the new I.V.A. tax regulations. They say we have to consume the local brand "COLA" instead ot, but we don't like this brand because it tastes no good...! Those other brands are gross...!

Here you are a few of the most popular Market places in Quito where you have a shortage of Coca Cola products:

- Megamaxi -- (El Giron, Iñaquito, El Bosque)
- Santa Maria - (all of the branch offices)
- Supermaxi - Megamaxi (El Recreo, Quicentro)

Please, despite I am just one of the millon Coca Cola custumers of my country, I mean I feel we need an explanation of this situation, an actual explanation we do not receive for the local subsidiary...frankly...!

My regards to you..
Affectionately..

Juan Delgado

Thanks.

I want to know it is real or fake. please give me a right answer as soon as possible.
I will give my personal information:
Full Name: Saquibul hasan
Home Address: radio colony, savar, Dhaka
Sex and Age: male 26
Nationality: Bangladeshi
Tel/Mobile No.: +[protected] or +[protected]
Occupation: student

If it is true how can i get my certificate please inform me.

I cannot contact Coca Cola regarding this problem. Their online WebForm doesn't work.

I became violently ill last night after consuming, of all things, Minute Maid juice from frozen concentrate.

I just purchased this juice a couple of days ago (have receipt). Within minutes of consuming a glass, my stomach felt "off". That changed to heartburn, then really bad heartburn, then escalated to a full scale rejection via any available opening.

I was violently sick all night. I'm sure you don't want the details.
I am absolutely 100% positive it was the Juice. No doubt about it.

I have photo's of the label and the top of can's Product numbers, no one else should have to go through the 8 hours of Hell that I just went through due to this. I'd really like to know what was in it? It tasted fine...was it bacteria of some sort? What have I ingested?

I am sad and upset regarding mycokerewards. I have been entering codes for many many years and using points, but wanted to try to get it high to see what I could get at that level. Well, I am ready to use my points after spending years buying Coke products and now I can't use them. The reason, some "person" came up with a way to block us customers, STATUS. I, and others who have high points should have been grandfathered into the supposedly status categories that are needed now ro ise the points, which is not fair. No email, no notice stating to spend your points because in January 2015 you won't be able to due to this "status". This whole change is "shady" in my opinion, take their/customers money for years then block them out from using their points. I want my rewards, and not worry about "status", since my points were there before it started. Someone please help, I just want what I worked hard for for years.

Why have a contact number that consumers cannot contact? Bought 4 cartons of Coke to join an on-going local (Malaysia) contest. Been trying to contact the printed number 03 [protected] for enquiries but to no avail. Called over 2 days, more than 20 times and left 3 messages and no reply whatsoever. Please answer me. Thank you
