Tsingtao beer loses its fizz in South Korea after video of worker appearing to urinate into beer tank

Appearing?  Hey, he had to go!

Restaurants and consumers in South Korea have quickly lost their taste for Tsingtao beer, according to media reports, after a video that appeared to show a brewery worker urinating into a tank at one of the firm’s plants in China went viral.

The clip, which has been viewed tens of millions of times on social media since it appeared last Thursday, shows a man wearing a helmet and blue uniform clambering over the side of a high-walled container and apparently relieving himself over its contents.

Tsingtao, China’s second-biggest brewery and a major exporter, said it has contacted police after learning about the video. “Our company attaches high importance to the relevant video that emerged from Tsingtao Brewery No. 3 on 19 October,” the beermaker said in a statement.

    A poem by Francis Bret Harte

    Which is why I remark,
    And my language is plain,
    That for ways that are dark
    And for tricks that are vain,
    The heathen Chinee is peculiar, --

  4. Live video of the perp receiving a sound caning to his bare ass cakes would do wonders at restoring the public faith in the company and it's products.

    I want to see many hot, crimson ribbons all over that ass.

  5. Read another case of product tampering in China that might have been a protest against the government, possibly this one too?

  9. Similar story I heard 40 years ago from someone working in the optics business. Might have been Kodak. Security guard retired, and a couple weeks later, company reps visit him and ask what he did to the vats of chemicals. Seems nothing is working right since he retired after 40 years. Told him nothing would be held against him, just tell them what. So, he told them he pissed in the main vat every night. They got a sample from him to figure out what adjustment to the batch was needed, and left.
