Anywho. I also just came back from grocery shopping with my mom. I kept having to drag her away from sweets and boxes labeled "free gift inside," which reminded me of this episode:
This was in Saudi. Saudi was the land of the weirdest combinations of "free gifts." I remember buying a lot of sliced cheese because my mom wanted the Looney Tunes glasses that came with it. We also bought a giant bag of Uncle Ben's rice once because it came with a knife. Knife? Rice? Um, okay.
I have no idea what we did with the six bottles of ketchup. We don't even use that much ketchup. Maybe we just gave them away . . .
Anyway, German classes resume today. Level C2, here I come! (eep) I hope the new people in my class are nice.
toi, toi, toi!
ReplyDeleteYour mom is kinda cute :)
I'm afraid I get like that too, especially with collectable glasses and mugs. Not as crazy as my mum though: "Mum, if you don't use the bought products then you'll have paid for the gift as well in the end!"
ReplyDeleteI use about half a bottle of ketchup for ketchup fried rice. Bit too late to give as a tip though. XD
Good luck with the assignment!
R: Haha! She can be a bit insane but generally fun. :D
ReplyDeleteT: Oh man! It IS a mom thing! Or an Asian mom thing? HAHA. God, I really have no idea what we did with the ketchup, but if it happens again, we will be making a lot of ketchup fried rice. But half a bottle at a time? That sounds like a lot...
