Among all of them, soft drinks are undoubtedly the most important item as it is a must whenever visitors come over for a visit. But are you willing to fight with other shoppers in landing your hands on soft drinks sold at an unbeatable price?

Yesterday, Facebook user Wayne Lee shared a video and a few photos of shoppers jostling with each other to snatch up cartons of Coca Cola and 100 Plus.

Another video uploaded by Sing Jia also captured shoppers furiously clearing cartons of Coca Cola off the shelves with little regard for the SOPs at an unspecified Econsave outlet.

Buy Coke on sale, free Covid

These scenes have disturbed netizens, who were scratching their heads over the shoppers’ behaviour in securing cheap soft drinks.

Many were also concerned that it might lead to a new Covid cluster, especially with the Omnicron variant already present within the community.
