Is this means Coke, Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite will have a RED label? What about DASHA MULA Arishtaya, Nelli Syrup, etc?
Yes, this is a very good decision.I think this will be implemented 100%. Giving a colour code to this too is a very good thing, but I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO USE THE BOTTLE LID FOR THE CODE which will make every one to identify this at a glance.
But our favorite drinks like Kassipu, Well Beer and Pol Arrakku etc are exempted.
Colourless for those for kasippu, mal bothal , ect .as Sri Lankans are eminent.
