I’ve been drinking beer imported from countries with a deposit return scheme for years.
The logo is on the product, but the deposit isn’t charged if sold in a country that doesn’t have such a scheme.
So could you buy it in the north and pay no deposit but claim a deposit in the republic?
Wait, the people of the north don’t pay a deposit. How will they recycle? How will they help save the planet?
Sneaking bottles across the border could be the new way the IRA funds it’s operations…🤔
Careful! This could collapse power sharing 😉
One advantage of Coke having its Ireland bottling plant in the north
Please update us if it works. I’m in Newry every other week!
lol we’re copying pfand now? man our government is unoriginal af
I will hold my hands up. I’ve been doing this. It’s enormously satisfying. (They go in the recycling bin at home)
I’m in a WhatsApp group where scans of bar codes are uploaded. You just print it on a sticker and stick it over the bar code on any can or plastic bottle and the machines take them.
The unionists won’t like that
This is why we can’t have nice things. Fuckers always looking to screw the system.
The cost of a United Ireland just keeps rising, smh
They’re also popping up in Scotland. Manufacturers have just chucked them on all labels to save on the cost of having to print two different ones, I think.
like Newman and Kramer driving to Michigan in a USPS van.
I was having orange juice in my cousin’s house in England and their Tesco bottle had the Re-turn logo too.
This is perfectly normal btw, we’ve had German green dots (the circle with up and down arrows) on our bottles for years, maybe decades, and it technically means we could fly over to Germany and get a few cents per bottle.
But yeah, if I lived in Newry I’d probably sneak down to Dundalk with my bottles and get money for nothing 😂
