Coca-Cola
Reviews and Complaints

YUCK! We bought two cans of Stoney ginger beer from Nando's in Bruma last night and as I opened my can to pour my drink a big white slimy 'thing' with a green something through it came sloshing out into my glass. the can was sealed and didn't look tampered with so what COCA COLA are doing I don't think I want to know. It was disgusting and there was no way I was going to drink that can of Stoney after that. Cold drinks are not exactly cheap these days, you'd think someone like COCA COLA would have the decency to be a bit more careful with their hygiene.

Client manager.

I've purchased 2x2 litre coke bottles (new gold cap bottles) from a shop in Benoni on Saturday afternoon. We noticed one of them had something floating on top...to our disgust we saw it was two flies with what looked like worms coming out of them! The bottle is still sealed.

It would have been easy to take the bottle back to the shop and ask for another but my concern is that there might be a contamination somewhere it coke's production line which is of great concern to me, seeing I buy almost a bottle per day.

I have left a message at your quality toll free line [protected] (on saturday) but still have not received any feedback.

Seeing, on this website, all the complaints about 'change in taste' with regards to your new gold cap coke bottles is concerning and makes you wonder...

Went to the coke zero competition site to get my 5x Nandos vouchers for 7500 points, only to find its no longer available. Now I can only get 1x voucher for 2500 points. (2 vouchers less for the same no of points).

After going through the expense to accumulate points for what was promised, only to find the criteria to redeeming them has changed (the vouchers are not sold out, just redeemable for more points), this is very misleading and wrong.

What is happening with Coke thesedays!? Not only are we paying huge prices for their products, and funding all their events, but they are arrogant enough to give us subpar products! Having been a 'loyal supporter' all my life and knowing the taste, even the 'mixed-a-little-with-sprite'taste they sometimes had, I have reached boiling point with the ***taste coke has nowadays! Nowhere did I read that the gas will be missing completly or out after opening once, nor did I read about the new (OLD) fruity taste that wil accompany the regular coke taste! Even KEG coke taste better than the canbottle taste! Yet we are forced to pay even more than ever for 1 can!

last 2008 the code of busines conduct was introduce to us by Pres. Nivell isdel. this COBC is to protect the integrity of the company and last May 2010, the new Company rules and regulation was being put into act, replacing the old CRR.
But!
The question now lingers in every employee(s) who are following the COBC and the NEW CRR is very disappointing...
Still many employees and even people who holds key position in the company are violating the COBC and the NEW CRR...
We are questioning ourselves is the COBC and NEW CRR applicable to rank and file employees, who can easily be apprehended by these High ranking personnel in the company...
We have tried reaching our local HR, but still no actions are being done...
Eng'r Giovanni M. Tanaid and some employees at Coca-Cola Davao Plant are engage in money lending...
Eng'r Tanaid, who is now the Production Superintendent at General Santos Plant is engage in money lending, and during Pay day he comes to davao to give the salaries of those employees, may it be regular or under in different agencies in davao whose ATM Cards are being pawn to Eng'r Tanaid.
I hope that the Coca-cola COmpany in the Philippines is sincere enough in adapting this rules...
Good day and God Bless!

i have purchased a mazza 200ml bottle but before the retailer could open it i saw many dirt particles inside the sealed mazza botlle..i stopped the retailer from opening it and 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.

My friend recently bought 2 boxes of Diet coke which were on offer at Tesco's and i decided to buy one of him. This box i then left in my garage un opened until I decided to drink one. Two days after purchasing the coke from my friend I decided to open a can. On opening the box and taking a can out, it exploded right infront of me which you can imagine came of a shock to me which on impulse I turned my head away and dropped the can which was empty as the contents had sprayed all over me

Luckily i was not harmed in any way but my clothes were drenched and so was my face and hair. However if this had been a child then the circumstances could have been alot worse.

The rest of the cans i have taken out of the box and placed on my garage floor which I am glad to say that the experience didn't repeat itself.

Maybe there was a fault in the metal on this particular can but it did shake me up.

I have retained the can if you would like to see the evidence.

Yours

Coca cola int (winning notification 2010)

I opened up a can of Coca Cola straight from the fridge. It was unusually foamy. After about a minute of watching it froth up and recede repeatedly, my wife grabbed the cellphone to record it. We recorded for approx. 3 minutes the continuous bubbling up and back down into the can. We then poured the beverage into a clear glass. It had little fizz and cloudy; like apple cider. When compared to a newly poured coke (from the same carton), the difference between them was extreme. We will keep the can in the case that you contact us because you might be worried if the batch is dangerous, or not. We have documentation if you would like to review.

Note: Did not taste the questionable coke.
