Post by: nookiebear on April 17, 2014, 04:29:29 PM

Haven't seen any for about 6 weeks..........Rumours abound they have ceased production & are promoting Coke Zero instead!

Funny, I posted a thread like that on the secrets forum recently. 

However, just bought 6 six packs from Makro yesterday.  No cases available, only 6 packs.

Cheers for that Keith.............The reason I brought the subject up was because I have recently read a couple of letters that had been in Bangkok Post suggesting it had gone for good

What, no comments on pic in Makro? 

However, these were taken with my phone, my camera was at home.

Probably at Makro 2-3 times a week.  Our snack store probably has the most variety in the village as about all we sell are snacks, drinks and noodles.  Everything to try to keep the internet customer content.  Our business has basically doubled in the past month since school let out. 

I will get up in the morning and often find that several shelves cleared from the night before.  Remember that sh!thead thread I started?  Like last night there were probably 20 young males smoking and joking outside our shop.  Other than being typical teenage boys, the are basically behaved and respectful to us.  Teenage boys can eat a lot of snacks. 

I also buy cases of noodles, Thais eat a lot of noodles. 

So there have been times I go to Makro in consecutive days.  We went Wednesday and literally bought a truck load of stuff, could see out my back window because of all the potato chips stacked up in the back seat.   Then went back last night because we needed some stuff and had to make a home pro run, so we were in the area.
