I have only one question about this story. How could one know the difference between fake instant coffee and real instant coffee?

Three in one coffeemix is full of sugar and whatever that white stuff is made of. It is as unhealthy as Coca Cola and other sugary drinks.

I hope UNODC has a programme to prevent trafficking of this product.
