Oh no, mold outside.

You realize in general means not in every case? In Canada and the USA, that’s not the case, they make their own syrup and fills cans and bottles.

Sure other countries may outweigh it, but large countries don’t operate that way.

Source, I’ve installed blow molders for bottling plants that mix their own syrups.

They have multiple lines, usually one for pop machine, two for plastic bottles and one for cans. Depending on the size and location they may also distribute stuff like Monster as well.

Now if you’re talking like a small town somewhere, shipping syrup is cheaper, so in specific cases (not in NA) it can make some sense to ship syrup and then add the water.

Pepsi-co more or less operates the same as well, they have blow molders on site for plastic bottles.

Coca-Cola atleast some plants have blow molders for plastic bottles. Making cans is a massive ordeal and requires its own plant, so if they have the space they could probably do it as well. A plastic blowmolder is under 100sqft. Makes more economical sense to ship in blanks and make your own than shipping 10x empty air volume.

Coca-Cola Canada makes their own bottles and packages cans and bottles as well, they also make their own “syrup” on site. IE they make their stuff for pop machines. Canning and bottling is only watering down that mix and carbonating it.

I see no reason why Coca Cola plants in the US wouldn’t bottle and can their own stuff as well. And also no reason why they can’t have a blow molder to make their own bottles. They aren’t that specialized pieces and the units less than 100sqft.

Caring for a family member (caregiving isn’t actually just limited to family members FYi) includes but not limited; dealing with financing, scheduling, transit, meal planning and prep, etc. you’re the persons care taker, you do everything they would normally be doing. There’s every day tasks that are relevant to every job that’s out there. There’s a reason why people can’t hold jobs while being a caretaker after all… or does this mean absolutely nothing to people?

Tell me you think being a caretaker means sitting around doing nothing all day….

Dealing with finances, scheduling, planning and transit aren’t relevant to a sales position? That’s an interesting take.

Do you not realize what being a caregiver involves?

Actually, caring for others, is quite a relevant work trait for even software engineering. Don’t want a bunch of people who can’t handle communicating with others or can’t get someone to do something.

It’s all I how you spin it, and clearly you aren’t using this for anything but a lie if you think it’s not valid work experience.

Being a caregiver is its own work experience, you should list it. How is it any different than the paid jobs that do the same thing?

It also shows your willing to put your own stuff aside and help.

I guess if you’re just using this as a lie, you wouldn’t realize all the actual benefits something like this could do for your resume.
