*******

I've noticed that Coca Cola has changed their 500ml bottles to 440ml for the same price, for a companies that makes billions how much money do they want, this is pure greed. As it is things are getting more expensive and the economy is tough but Coca-Cola South Africa wants to give less for the same amount of money.

The people involved in making this decision are a bunch of ......., you can fill in the blanks.

Hi Kavesh,

Thank you for your message.

please accept our apology on the delayed response.

We recently made changes to two packages out of our portfolio of more than 76 beverages, which exist in 36 pack sizes. This is not unusual and we regularly adjust our pricing, packaging and product mix to adapt to market conditions and consumer demands. We apologize that we were not as clear as we should have been about the changes. We could have communicated more extensively to our consumers at point of sale and through the media. Our company remains committed to serving South Africans with the choice of beverages they enjoy

For more information please contact *** or ***.

thank you and Best Regards

Calvin.

Good Day The packaging had changed to much less yes but the price remained the same and normally when coke goes up its maximum 50c a year or so, now not the case the bottles are going smaller and I've heard that the 1lt is also going to be effected soon but as usual no notification of such changes are made know so u guys do as long as it brings in more money for the company, stuff the consumer they must pay, that's the attitude it feels like coca cola is showing. In Botswana they have a 600ml for the same price as our 500ml, well used to be 500ml. Funny how that works.
