Recently, a Coca-Cola can delivery to Northern Ireland went awry, according to the Belfast Telegraph. Empty Coca-Cola cans were to be delivered to Lisburn, Northern Ireland, to be filled and subsequently sold there. However, in the middle of the night, the machines came to a standstill. The reason? Constipation. Some of the supposedly empty cans arrived already filled in Lisburn. What you found in these full doses is incredible!

In the delivered cans one has allegedly found "human waste". The Coke cans are delivered without a lid to be sealed, shipped or sold in Lisburn. Where the "human waste" come from, the police have not yet found out or there is no information for tactical reasons, but it will continue to be determined in the case and the responsible persons sought.

A spokeswoman for Coca-Cola also commented on the incident: Coca-Cola takes the safety and quality of their products very seriously and is already cooperating with PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland). According to the Food Standarts Agency (FSI), there is no evidence that any of the "manipulated" Coke cans have come onto the market. The affected cans have not been sold, of course, and have no effect on the shelved products that have been released for sale.
