Britannia's cream cracker better with jeera



Britannia is extending is product portfolio in one direction aggressively. Health products like this one with

79% cereals . The one product you see in the pic is really hard to swallow if you are not drinking a tea/coffee.

Recently they launched the same biscuits with jeera as well .It tasted good.Good  package.

Worth every penny .

A fantastic soap rapped in a thick paper



I happen to buy  this very bathing soap which is transparent and has a nice smell and I am enjoying using it.The package has two layers , one as seen here a box. I was shocked or amazed I am not sure yet. But the soap was rapped in a thick white sheet ,which was an poster of an film . It makes me wonder . A good product with a very good box to pack, why a thick sheet of filmi poster? This may lead to asking questions or doubting about the product. This seems like digging ones own grave in marketing sense.

Copy cat or a fast rat

C

I happen to taste a small packet of Rs 5 of Kurkure Desi Beats one on your left.
The most amazing thing about this product tasted as if the bingo Mad angles by ITC  .
The taste was as good as Mad angles. I am taken aback.And I am shocked.
All the R&D done by ITC  was cool. Is there any violation. I don't know. ITC just lost out on the first mover advantage.

Do care for us , we are after all customers/consumers.






This week kurbaan a hinid movie staring Saif and Kareena released.

Myself and a classmate of mine happen to be there watching the movie.

And I stood in the qeue to get the tickets. The ticket counter for balacony was a mess.

The humidity was immense since it was raining. There were no ceiling fans either.

We stood in the line as long as the lazy ticket issuers comes to the counter and issue tickets.

Sometimes we forget the smallest of the things. Don't pamper us but do take care of us.

Other time we were in theatre and in the middle of the moving the a/c is switched off.

That is annoying.

If the service providers will not care for customers who will.

Please don't blame piracy or bad films if the theatre does poor business.

Chance Pa Dance. Best of Discounts.





Recently we happen to be in Big Bazaar. Big Bazaar seems to have become an "Adda" to few of us.
Once in a while we make a point to drop in. Buy atleast something. For me buying black grapes as become a sort of ritual.

 As ususal lot of schemes to lure the customers. There were books at good discounts.
60% off is really cool.

 There were dictionaries, word power, some fiction, social intelligence by Daniel Goleman a copy which I have.I settled for "It happened in India by Kishore Biyani" .

Folks we got to look out for discounts and schemes to get the max value of every single penny we spend.

Power of Rs 5




I recently notice the power of Rs 5.

ITC came out with Rs 5 packet of Bingo [wafers] and Sunfeast [Biscuits].

Parel did come out the pack of frooti for same prize.

Parel did even come out with a packet of biscuits i.e., parel G for Rs 1.

Currently talk time is available in the least denomination of Rs 10.

I am curious to know when will the telecom companies be smitten by  power of  Rs 5.

Now Lays is also available in Rs 5 .

Possibly the companies are trying to understand the spending pattern. And capitalizing on it.

May be people don't mind spending Rs 5.

Little hearts, 5 star, all are available for Rs 5. That's amazing.
