Dana 7.11.2023. Večernji list i Index.hr objavili su članak o osobi koja je završila na hitnom prijemu jer je zadobila teške ozljede sluznice i želudca uslijed konzumacije vode Romequelle u jednom riječkom kafiću. Građani su upozoreni da ne konzumiraju proizvode koje pripadaju Coca – Cola company.
Odmah smo posumnjali da je članak lažan jer autor članka nije poznat. Zatim smo pratili situaciju i nitko u našoj okolini nije povukao proizvode Coca Cole company iz prodaje.
U međuvremenu se javilo 30 -ak ljudi s Riječkog područja prijavljujući tegobe. Psihijatar, doktor Stipe Drmić izjavio je za medije da je riječ o psihogenoj reakciji te psihosomatskom reagiranju na vijest zbog čega se mnogo ljudi prijavilo sa simptomima trovanja. Stvorila se atmosfera straha i povećala anksioznost opće populacije.
Potvrdu da je vijest lažna dobili smo samospoznajom jer država nije poduzela određene mjere u vezi ovog slučaja, a Konzum je dana 10.11.2023. objavio vijest na društvenim mrežama da se svi proizvodi Coca Cole company smatraju ispravnima te da su dostupni u prodaji.
S obzirom da nitko od nadlažnih institucija nije pravovremeno reagirao, prepoznali smo da je riječ o lažnoj vijesti.

On November 7, 2023, Večernji list and Index.hr published an article about an individual who ended up in emergency care due to severe injuries to the mucous membrane and stomach caused by consuming Romaquelle water in a café in Rijeka.
Citizens were warned not to consume products belonging to the Coca-Cola Company. We immediately suspected the article was false because the author was unknown. Subsequently, we monitored the situation, and no one in our vicinity withdrew Coca-Cola Company products from sale. In the meantime, around 30 people from the Rijeka area reported symptoms.
Psychiatrist Dr. Stipe Drmić stated to the media that it was a psychogenic reaction and psychosomatic response to the news. An atmosphere of fear developed, and the general population’s anxiety increased, leading people to report symptoms of poisoning. We confirmed that the news was false through self-awareness because the state did not take specific measures regarding this case, and Konzum store announced on November 10, 2023, on social media that all Coca-Cola Company products are considered safe and available for sale.
Given that none of the relevant authorities reacted promptly, we recognized that it was a fake news story.
