      I guess because there is plenty of Ukrainians living there and they want to be inclusive. In Poland, there are bottles with Ukrainian names as well, although they are spelled with Latin alphabet.

    2. I went to London in 1999 and bought a Coke that had a green ring around the top, printed on the can, talking about how it was important to recycle in the city of Toronto. I looked on the can and it said made in Canada and was in English and French. I travelled to Europe to drink a Coke I could have gotten from my own fridge back home.

      People buy and sell whatever is the cheapest and available at the moment. Maybe someone got a good deal on a whole bunch of them and shipped them in.

      My guess would be that corner stores have weird suppliers that source products in weird ways to keep cost down. I am in Spain and in my corner store, I can find soda and energy drinks with Russian, Ukranian, Hungarian, Bulgarian etc. labels alongside Spanish as well.

      I’m pretty sure it’s people driving around Europe in vans and trucks trying to get the cheapest possible offers on shelf-stable products and then re-selling them to corner stores.

      Similar to how some countries do not have IKEA, but there will be some weird stores that resell IKEA furniture. That’s because some people regularly driving to a neighboring country and filling their van or truck with the most popular IKEA furniture.

      Probably grey import. Lots of products have lower prices depending on the market. So coke is probably cheaper in Ukraine so they import it. Which big stores cant do because its against contracts they have, but a random corner store can.

      Global Supply Chain. The Logistics algorithm will find the closest supply with the minimum cost of transport. etc.

      It’s not a new phenonmenon – seems like time to time they get a crate of juice from somewhere on the cheap. Certainly better than the usual ’38 seconds from sell by date’ stuff.

      Coke does name campaign type things every once in a while, they ship cases with bunches of names on the label instead of their normal “Coca Cola” thing.

      It’s marketing, you look for your name or your friend’s name…and you buy one anyway even if you don’t find it. And odds are you share a picture of it either way, as you did, which is free marketing for them because someone ELSE will want to go and see if they can find a meaningful name for themselves.

    8. They usually buy these in bulk elsewhere where cost of living is lower. We often find polish or other eastern european branded coke or beers like desperados in these little cornershops.

      In the UK you can literally find anything in a British corner shop <3

      Bought a job lot for cheap from some geezer in Southhampton called Yuri…

    11. Like someone already said someone’s importing it from Ukraine due to price spreads existing for various reasons. Tbh the importer theoretically doesn’t even have a right to do this without the product owner approval.
