I keep seeing these kinds of videos and all I can think of is how cool it would it be if guerrilla unionizing was a thing. If I had stupids amount of money how fun would it be to come here and tell everyone I'm going to pay them better, with better conditions and just generally raise the quality of life there.
I briefly worked in a North American bottling plant. 1. The raw syrup *will* eat shoes. Barefoot is actually cheaper. 2. It all comes out of the same nozzle. The mixed stuff during the change over from one batch to another is bottled up and sold as something niche. 3. This place looks safer and less hellish to work at.
How different is the syrup in the plant from the syrup feeding a soda fountain? I worked in a movie theater as a teen and we unhooked syrup containers and took "shots" in the back... I still have my own legs...
The stuff in the plant has hazard markers and is super bad to get on you. Stuff in restaurants and theaters is more watered down even before it gets watered down to make the drinks.
I think most pre-WW2 bottling plants, which almost every large town in North America had, worked like this. Then probably into the 50s and 60s they all either got automated as regional centers or closed.
Coming in under the top comment with facts and source: This is Pakistan - probably Multan or southern Punjab. The blue crate is marked “Pepsi Shamim Company.” which is Pepsi’s Multan bottler and distributes across southern Punjab; “Benz” is also a Pakistani beverage brand. The pink version is probably milk soda flavored with Rooh Afza or another rose syrup - plain Punjabi doodh soda is normally milk + lemon-lime soda and would be white in color.

If you don't want to know what you've eaten that you didn't know you ate, don't read the FDA guidelines on acceptable levels of various biological contaminants in food...
If you drink from cans and don't wash them you've definitely had your lips on dried up rat piss and shit, the cans can sit in storage for quite a long time and those hairy fuckers get and piss everywhere.
I was thinking this. If you go to a restaurant and drink from a glass, and think you don't sometimes get one that has been cleaned like this or wrose, you'd be fooling yourself.
Yeah, rule of thumb: never drink from the jug/glasses of water they have lying around at the bar. Ask for a glass of soda water (if you like soda water) from the gun. And even then, pray the lines get cleaned regularly.
I (long ago) worked at a pizza place; if a pie hit the floor they would just throw it back in the oven for a couple of minutes "to kill whatever". Likely a more common practice than we want to know about.
Yep, seen that myself too. I always tend towards "be extremely nice to the people that make your food" because there's already a good chance your food has been ... modified even if you do.
This. Caps have those ripples on the side as a result of a flat round piece of metal being cramped onto the neck of the bottle with a special tool. That’s why they’re airtight. It’s metal forcibly wrapped around the neck.
Those were cramped before. It’s like putting the cap back on the bottle. If you opened it carefully and didn’t warp the cap, you can do it. But you’ll notice that it’s not airtight anymore.

Too many feet in this process for me.

this is basically the manual no gloves version of how all soda is made. Syrup + carbonated water + cap seal.
sneakypoo
I don't think anyone is questioning the syrup+water thing. More the sliding around on the floor, bare feet and general questionable hygiene.

Yea that too is how normal Soda is made everywhere

My Western ass is not prepared for it. A local that has been living in that environment is probably more suited for these food borne trials.

That still sounds like a bit of survivor bias. I'm sure many locals are or were not well suited to those dangers.

I somehow don't see that as the biggest problem with this filling process, just be happy they are using new caps (I hope).
DrBrutalov
New and unused caps I’ve seen in a brewery were completely flat.
Yasashii93
This. Caps have those ripples on the side as a result of a flat round piece of metal being cramped onto the neck of the bottle with a special tool. That’s why they’re airtight. It’s metal forcibly wrapped around the neck.
Those were cramped before. It’s like putting the cap back on the bottle. If you opened it carefully and didn’t warp the cap, you can do it. But you’ll notice that it’s not airtight anymore.
Those Pepsis will go flat real quick.
BarryTheCyborg
The machine probably recrimps, so it should still form a seal if the plastic isn't damaged, but it won't last as long either way.

I believe “crimp” is the word you are looking for rather than “cramp”.
