May 23 (Reuters) - The Venezuelan bottler of Coca-Cola has halted production of sugar-sweetened beverage due to a lack of sugar, a Coca-Cola Co spokeswoman said on Monday.
Venezuela is in the midst of a deep recession, and spontaneous demonstrations and looting have become more common amid worsening food shortages, frequent power cuts and the world's highest inflation.

Venezuela is in the midst of feeling the Bern, right up front and in their face.

“I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
But I can’t because there’s no food here in Venezuela and I had to eat my cat and I’m wiping my behind with leaves.
It’s the real thing!”
A deep recession?
Trying, yet again, to slip a rubber peach to a gullible child.
It’s in a evil, failed communist revolution that will take years - and piles of dead bodies - to climb out of.
“Venezuela is in the midst of a deep recession”
Yeah, “recession” that’s it.
yeah— Yahoo isn’t biased are they-
The current citizens of Venezuela:
A. Are on WATER rationing- every other day!
B. Electricity rationing- Whenever!
C. Toilet paper HOARDING is an Arrest-able offense
D. they beer distillery’s are now in SHUTdown mode!
E. now NO Soda-
Yeah sounds like a “recession” to me
sarc
First they run outta beer. Now Coke??? They are literally feelin’ the Bern.
Don’t they have Stevia plants there?
Unbelievable. I know I’m paranoid but I do believe this could happen to us if we’re not careful and don’t develop a conscience and morality in our young people.
I heard that a company has started production again - except both the beer and the coke are green in color.
When I left the army and went into business (no small transition) my first personal assistant was from Chile. Going to school at night, working with me during the day. I asked her during the initial interview what she thought vis-à-vis Pinochet vs. Allende. Without batting an eye she said “Viva Pinochet!”. She graduated school, moved to San Antonio, has her own title insurance business, one son is an architect in Dallas, the other is running a Sam’s Club. Both do over 6 figures, as does she. Quality matters.
There’s Maduro’s key mistake right there: even in the worst depths of 1950’s Soviet planned-economy communist privations, the apparchitiks made sure there was a steady supply of vodka in the USSR, sliwowice in Poland and beer in East Germany & Czechoslovakia. You have to give the proles some means of escape from their misery. It’s the lack of beer that will bring this situation to a head.
Don’t worry. Maduro’s relatives and some of the military have enough coke to keep the nation happy for a long time.
Oh, the article was talking about Coca Cola. Sorry!
From “One, Two, Three”
Peripetchikoff: No formula, NO DEAL!
C.R. MacNamara: OK, NO DEAL!
Borodenko: We do not need you! If we want Coca-cola, we invent it ourselves!
C.R. MacNamara: Oh, yeah? In 1956 you flew a bottle of Coke to a secret laboratory in Sverdlosk. A dozen of your top chemists went nuts trying to analyze the ingredients. Right?
Mishkin: No comment!
C.R. MacNamara: And in 1958, you planted two undercover agents in Atlanta to steal the formula. And what happened? They both defected! And now they’re successful businessmen in Florida packaging instant borscht. Right?
Peripetchikoff: No comment!
C.R. MacNamara: Last year you put out a cockamamie imitation “Kremlin-Kola!” You tried it out in the satellite countries, but even the Albanians wouldn’t drink it. They used it for SHEEP DIP! RIGHT?
Mishkin: No comment!
C.R. MacNamara: So either get down to business or get off the pot!
RE Stevia plants. They are using them for toilet paper.
They doin’ the Obameconomy doublespeak.
Leftists make me sick, people are starving, rioting, no medical services open and it’s OLNY A DEEP RECSSION
