People who have sensitive stomachs always choose to buy bottled drinks. They believe that bottled drinks have undergone several procedures to thoroughly clean the containers. Aside from that, consumers don’t even think that bottled drinks are dirty since they are being sold in large grocery stores. Surely, the slightest bit of contamination would be equal to a lawsuit against the company manufacturing the products.

But don’t be so comfortable with the thought that bottled drinks are safe to drink because one woman proved that they aren’t.

Facebook user Livy Barros Ddm posted photos of a C2 drink she bought for her thirsty kids. According to her, they were going grocery shopping at SM Hypermarket East Service Road in Muntinlupa when her kids started to get thirsty. Since they were already in the grocery store, she purchased a 1-liter bottle of C2 apple and let her kids, aged 5 and 10 years, drink it.
On their way home to Marikina, they noticed something moving inside the now half-empty juice bottle. Upon closer inspection, they noticed white viscous material floating inside the drink.

Since they were already far away from SM Hypermarket East Service Road, they decided to bring the contaminated drink to SM Hypermarket in Riverbanks. However, the manager of the store told them that since they didn’t purchase the drink in their branch, they wouldn’t be able to do anything about the incident. The store manager told them instead to go back to Muntinlupa to file a complaint.

Livy and her family were already too tired to go back to SM Hypermarket in Muntinlupa so they decided to call the branch instead to inform them regarding the incident.

According to Livy, she didn’t want to cause a commotion. All she wanted was for the store to check their products, particularly the bottled drinks to prevent the same incident from happening again.
