Those were the days

Nestlé’s baby food brands including Cerelac and Nido added sugar in the form of sucrose, in lower and lower-middle income countries including India — but not in the products sold in Europe or UK, according to a report by Swiss investigative organisation Public Eye and International Baby Food Action Network (IBFAN). The research was conducted at a lab in Belgium, and examined Nestlé’s baby food products from Asia, and Africa branded as Cerelac, Nido, Mucilon and Dancow. These contained an average of 3 grams per serving, and in some cases up to 6 grams. Similar products tested in the European markets showed no added sugar. A Nestlé India spokesperson has attested that the company has reduced the sugar content in the baby product portfolio by 30% over the past five years, NDTV reported. In 2022, the sales on these products exceeded Rs.20,000 crore in India alone. Nestlé has been under the scanner in the past for similar violations in several African countries. Reports from the 1970s raised the alarms on their unethical marketing practices in an effort to push artificial feeding over breastfeeding.

I’ll go first, getting that old PSP, the one which had WiFi in built. Or maybe PlayStation 2 which was like 5k-6k back then. Now, I could get a PS5 or buy games to play on my PC, but the feeling is lost. Just like my childhood. I guess I lived a part of my childhood today. Went on a walk and had a Cornetto IceCream, which back then I didn’t have the money for and had to buy an Orange/Cola IceCream. Then, I walked around my society. Saw a few kids playing football and instantly teleported back to when I was a kid. Now that child is gone and the dream has too. But still, it feels good remembering that 5 year old me would be proud of adult me, and that’s what truly matters. 🥰

How do you not hate yourself? What value does this syrup add to your tastebuds? We as a society despise you and wish to ostracize you (with all due respect) I would rather drink vim liquid soap Their ads are also equally dumb I know its a personal choice but bhai wtf

Recently got hooked to this product from Paper Boat cuz of zero sugar and great taste. I quite like it. Whats yours??

I’m really curious to know what exactly the Marketing Team does cause in the previous two organisations that I worked at , The Marketing Dept was kinda meh. So I wanted to know if it’s the case everywhere or does an actual good Marketing Team exist as the ones I’ve interacted with their lead generation and marketing was trash.

Doesn't need to be branded

The only sensible explanation is all the survey participants were non-Indians. Link for reference: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/food-news/from-achappam-to-malpua-the-list-of-worlds-worst-indian-dish-is-quite-shocking/articleshow/111510861.cms

Brand people, Marketing and advertising people, what do you think the reason is ? Will there be any next Piyush Pandey?
