Filler Post #2

Just got back from Genting's. Really exhaustive, 3D2Ns.

Anyhow, it was worth the trip, more details on my next post.

As for now, as the title says, i fill something up to indicate my existence still lingers.

Ever wondered really awkward and odd advertising from other businesses? And some that really puzzles you what they are really trying to sell?

It was quite some time back already, where i had a meal with my gf's group of friends in Sunway Pyramid (not at Phase 2 mind you) , they were stopping by at the wash closet and this poster just seem to grip my sight without haste.


Appealing as it is, i drew my phone out and started snapping pictures of it. My girlfriend stepped out of the washroom and was curious with my actions. As soon as she had a glance of the poster with my detailed presentation of my perspective towards the poster, she was disgusted and demanded to depart from that area.

Anyhow, I shall present my detailed perspective of this print ad,


Firstly, I hope that this is not the owner of the restaurant, otherwise this ad can prove to be deadly. With that sort of stare towards your eyes, even the males will feel that it's an obligation to add more security towards their sacred area.

"That's a rapist stare, without doubt."

My girlfriend rolled her eyes and wanted to me to put a halt on continue analyzing the poster. But i can't just end here, because,

the headline was too magical to look away.

A rapist stare and a magical dining experience .. what a fascinating combo.

A few steps away from that poster, apparently, they had sequel to it :-


At first glance,

"It's not that bad .. "

But wait, have a closer look,

" I can read your every movement .. "

Putting the body copy aside, adding on their prequel of this ad and wa-lla!

This entire ad campaign can prove to be either a real attention grabber for a dining place or a secret passage to a den of rapists.

I hope my review isn't too harsh, but that is it for now.

Thank you for your time.

God bless, cheers.

Filler Post # 1

Free publicity? Maybe.

Perhaps, the fact that the location of the outlet is rather out of place balanced this post of publicity charity.

It's located at the 2nd floor, along the row of burger king and yoshinoya (Yes, i noticed, publicity for them too.) at 1 Utama shopping complex. Yet, the contribution from the nearby outlet at The Curve seem to do a good job. Despite the drawback of the location, many PJ folks would identify the trademark with haste.

My,my, i just realized it is rather difficult to find the logo on google.com ..

Anyhow, here it is,

By the way, this wasn't taken from google ..

Yup, the current all time frenzied donut.

Me and Gary still can't comprehend the sudden craze of PJ folks over these
donuts.

Yet, if you observe close enough on the image above, you will s
eem to notice a rather unfamiliar phrase beneath the logo,

Was Big Apple's slogan - "Always Fresh Always Tasty"?

With the power of an index finger, the truth is revealed,



And with decent skills of peeling stickers ..


Well, well.. what do we have here?

In this sort of scenario, a few speculations can be made..

1.) The Owner of Big Apple was a secret admirer of PappaRoti franchise and wanted to give tribute to the Cafe in disguise.
2.) The factory that was responsible for printing the paper bags of Big Apple messed up with their order along with PappaRoti. Instead of reprinting, they decided to cut their loss by producing Big Apple stickers and paste them over the PappaRoti paper bags.
3.) Rotiboy was obedient and did not follow PappaRoti's footsteps.
4.) It's a peel and win contest, who finds the Pappa first wins a life time supply of donuts!

As far as i'm concerned, these paper bags was distributed at the 1utama outlet. Yet, honestly speaking, it would be a horrible decision to cut cost by distributing such bags for the trade of branding power.

I strongly believe, you can never find Starbucks doing anything like that.

Bear in mind,They are hoping into the bandwagon too .. as in the frenzy. Big Apple better treat their branding power lightly, although i have yet to see any J.CO donuts within my sight.

Last but not least,
You better start buckling up, stale and empty filled donuts won't bring you far in the competition. The days where i had joyful childhood memories of dunkin donuts seem to be erased . .

Pardon me for the absence of mouth watering images of donuts. Due to the fact that my pockets are not filled with any green by posting this post up, this is as much as i will go.

Thank you for your time.

God bless, cheers.
