Does anyone else think that Nescafe coffee isn't the same as it used to be?
It's always been my favorite instant coffee and I've been buying it for years.
The last few jars of it though have not tasted as nice, too weak or too bitter, and it seems to have lost it's original flavour. I wonder what has happened to it.

I have never been a fan of Nescafe instant coffee to be honest, I know I have a Dolce Gusto coffee machine which uses coffee from Nescafe, but they are ok, not that I use it that often these days.

Kenco produces some nice instant.

Ours too. Nasty company.
Mind you, the loss of Shreddies and Smarties was very sorely felt!

Is this one of these they do things we don't agree with ban?
A mate of mine keeps putting companies we should boycott on his facebook page because of different things they do or don't do, if I took any notice I would be buying nothing at all and living in a cafe.

It's because it is a sickeningly evil company, that indirectly kills infants in poverty stricken countries
through its extremely unethical marketing of processed baby milk formula in the Third World. That
seems to be the main reason why Nestlé is one of the most boycotted companies on the planet,
but is also seemingly responsible for several other nefarious deeds.

Wow, that is one long list of shockingly unethical goings-on.

They target breastfeeding mothers in third world countries with "scientific" advertising to persuade them that their powdered milk is better than breast milk. They do this with full knowledge that such places don't have a clean water supply to mix the powdered stuff. Result - dead babies.

They're not in a deal with Mr Eugenics himself, Bill Gates are they?

Company that behaves this way ought to be closed down in my opinion!

Is there a reason they seem to not have been gotten rid of by the authorities?

No matter how tasty that particular drink might well be, it's a drink of pure evil!

You may think so, but millions don't or don't care, because the company is still in business

I don't just think that. It's a fact. Millions may not care, but they damn well should. Anyone that is aware of
the unmitigated evil this company is responsible for, and still doesn't care, has blood on their hands.

This odious, nasty, repugnant company absolutely does not deserve to be in business.

Well they are and so are other companies who may have things under their belt which people don't like.

It seems like everyday there is something we should boycott or something we should sign against. A mate of mine is always on the rampage about something or other, chicken houses, roads, trees being cut down, CIA, chem trails, that we should use renewable energy , there is always something on his facebook page to sign against and to be honest it gets too much. i don't know where he gets all this stuff from.

The problem is how can you boycott companies unless you don't eat and have any services. Lots of companies own different companies and you never know unless you really look into it.

True. Nestle owns or has large stakes in quite a few companies. They own the pet food company Purina,
and they have a 49% stake in the cosmetics firm L'Oreal. I was shocked to learn earlier this year Nestle
also owns Buxton Mineral Water. It's ironic one of their bottled water brands is called "Pure Life" ... !

'Blood on their hands'? Bit strong isn't it?

Not at all. It's a perfectly adaquate description for anyone that is aware that Nestle's unethical marketing
is killing infants in impoverished countries, but still continues to buy Nestle products despite that fact.
If you knowingly fund a company that kills babies, you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.

If their actions are so blatant why does no-one do anything about it?

I buy Nestle products, I'll have to get some bleach to get the blood off my hands it seems.
