  • That's the problem with selling addictive and unhealthy products, you always have to find new markets to stay in business. I hope their store sinks.

  • They're at it again

    I guess they think everyone has forgot about the mother's milk formula thing in africa.

    SMH. They have no shame

  • algum brasileiro pode por favor me explicar o que eles estão querendo dizer?... porque nao pode vender chocolate aqui? qual o problema?

  • a specific type of food does not cause people to become diabetic... It's obesity that does and that all comes down to how many calories you consume. It doesn't matter if the food is packaged or fresh, it makes no difference.

  • Nestle chokito is real nice, why not spread the sweets.. It's only food

  • Nestle is also buying up fresh water in poor countries and shipping it to the U.S. leaving the poor without enough clean drinking water, Evil corporation.

  • @bradistic LOL,Nestles dont need new Markets to stay in buisness,they`re f*ing gigantic,seems they buy out anyone they can,lol

  • we're not victins of corporations like monsanto with your shit, sorry i mean food..

  • that's stupid

    in brazil we dont eat shit like united state citizen or "americans" like the idiots around there call'em

  • i doubt this floating supermarket is going to make anyone in the amazon obese. Obesity is definately not a problem there.

  • That is horrible!
