Exactly. So why are you if Indians themselves do not?
There's only a tiny percentage of people who are really pissed off at Coke, and the rest of them just go along buying it up as usual, not caring that the coconut farmers can't show off their supposed sophistication with irrigation systems.

Did it ever occur to you that the Coke might be being EXPORTED, numbnuts?

Coke doesn't export Coke around much, especially not in a
billion-consumer market. They build factories where the demand is high because they are global, or contract out to local bottlers. The Coke you drink is probably made nearby, within 100 km, especially if you live near a big city.
Sure, that Coke plant might be servicing a few neighbouring countries, but the local market always comes first with a product like Coke.
India has really strict trade controls and an ass-backwards transportation system. If Coke were to export anything in that region, they would do it from somewhere else like Thailand or Singapore, otherwise Coke would cost $30 per bottle in some places, making it totally useless for any consumer.
Bottom line, no Coke plant in India if India wasn't consuming said Coke.
