    Off topic I know, but in Indonesia, you can get rice with your BigMac! The staff also had a big sign reminding them to put salt on the fries. It tasted grand to us all the same!

    Is there still an EU wide ban on parallel imports from outside the EEA?

    I guess the middle east coke could be considered a "grey import"?

    Nope. It's everywhere and been going on for a long time. They would want to be hijacking trucks on daily basis.

    It would be impossible to do. McDonalds doesnt taste the same everywhere. They have a policy of using local suppliers i.e. irish potatos and meat in Ireland, polsih potatoes and meat in Poland. That's why even if the recipe is the same, end product tastes differently.

    In France they guarantee that their beef is either French or Irish, complete with Bord Bia posters all over the place. No wonder the French farmers keep burning Irish sheep......

    Re. Imported Product

    Dear ******

    Thank you for your recent enquiry to Coca-Cola Bottlers Ireland regarding the imported Coca-Cola which you recently purchased.

    As I am sure you will appreciate, we have no control over the importation of foreign product onto the Irish market once the retailer is in compliance with trading standards legislation. However, we will bring the matter to the attention our Sales Rep for the store in question.

    I can assure you that Coca-Cola is produced to the very highest of standards worldwide. However, the water & sweeteners used in the production process can affect the taste of the end product. Accordingly the taste of imported Coca-Cola can be noticeably different to that of Coca-Cola produced in Ireland to a regular Coke drinker.

    We trust that this meets with your satisfaction, and thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention.

    Kind Regards,

    *******
