How Coke DESTROYED Mexico's water supply

Hey homies :)

[pleasurepanda]

Deaths from diabetes has skyrocketed in some areas of Mexico

[danylo]

It's like in medieval Europe people had easier access to wine or beer then water

[VolksWagenbeetle]

As a mexican, i have like two 1.5 liter coca cola bottles in my fridge so its true

[nxusnxus]

What's even worse is, because they weren’t maintaining the pipes Mexico is not gonna have any water soon. Drinking soda all day instead of water is really bad for the kidneys.

[dkc]

I love when the government completely fails and people will just blame most random thing

[Heraldoftheword]

This isn’t Coke ruined Mexico’s water. This is just Mexico ruined Mexico’s water and Coke saw an opportunity.

After 1 year. algorithm reminded me you existed, i used to watch your videos when i was depressed

>Mexican government is horribly mismanaged and charges its citizens extremly high prices for water
>Coke sells cola for cheaper than the government's horribly mismanaged water supply
>Blame coke

[snaketanker]

Blaming coke for the government’s incompetence: the short

[T--M]

As a Mexican myself, pretty sure this man blamed Coca Cola for the Government's negligence, but Coca Cola saw an Opportunity

[wooooaaaaaahhh]

they didn’t exactly make it dirtier they just made a cheaper option right?

[ffswege]

I love how first thing they cut down on is litellary DRINKING WATER in country that is DESERT like

[dettective]

Hey, this reminds of what the ancient Athenians did with wine, they drunk wine mixed in with water because their water was very unclean

[wilianrodrigues]

The Mexican Government: *fails to maintain their water supply*

The Mexican Government: *cuts the water budget, making the supply worse*

The Mexican Government: *cuts the budget yet again*

Coca-Cola: *Becomes more economically viable than ordinary water because of the insufficient funds to maintain the Mexican water supply*

The Short: Why is Coca-Cola so evil?

[diamondore]

at that point, i won't even blame Coca-Cola, they just saw an opportunity

[averageJoe-qqep]

Fun fact: the #1 bottled water company in Mexico(Ciel) is a subsidiary of the Coca-cola company

[Hhifix]

Correction: Mexico’s corrupt government gave everyone poop water

[Hydra_Scale]

My experience of Mexico is they don't have whole city water pipes but large massive water towers that still aren't clean enough to drink but work fine for cleaning plates, plants and taking a shower. My dad decided to bury one and is planning to buy a pump since the large water towers are super dangerous.

[LillianMix]

Yup my mother drinks at least 1L of coke every day. I feel bad because it’s not healthy for her but she loves the drink. This happens to A LOT of mexicans.

"don't worry it gets worse" hit me so hard
