Short Bites

Bite size quotes of the “perspectively challenged” in the advertising industry:

“Internet only reach the younger audience. Those older above 30 years old don’t use the internet

“I don’t see the strategy. I see internet more of a sustaining media and not for launch”

” The launch needs new innovative media that’s impactful. The billboard space at xxx is innovative as ABC brand use it. We have xxx budget (usually small!). Agency please explore and recommend. “

“Nobody will click on ads on search engine as I never click on them.”

“I don’t want my ad in that shopping malls, the 30+ year olds don’t go there”

And I’m not kidding when I say that these are REAL quotes from those in the supposedly marketing industry. *Roll eyeballs*

Chicken Skin Man

Category: Food

I was at Phrom Phong today and usually, this is where my favourite chicken skin man lurks. This guy has been really elusive. It’s hard to find him. And all I want is to buy a few packets of deep-fried chicken skins from his mobile stall! I have tried many a deep-fried chicken skins in Bangkok and the best tasting one is from this elusive man. It’s been my mission to specifically look for him everytime I’m in the vicinity. I’m definitely onto this ninja, man!

The case for catnips

Category: Cats

Barcajax asked if it seems cruel to give cat nips to cats. It seems like it is some form of a drug and it’s similar to making your friends drunk on purpose just for kicks. Hmmmm….

Cat nips generally trigger strange behavioral changes in cats when they come in contact with it. It’s the chemical that’s present in these perennial herb belonging to the mint family, Labiatae, with an active ingredient called Nepetalactone. The cat’s response to this chemical is mediated through the olfactory system that cats have a special receptor for. This chemical is thought to mimic the effects of a pheromone to cause a variety of behaviors. And that’s just the more intellectual answers gathered from the web…

The actual answer really is that, we get a kick out of it! :p It’s really hilarious to see your cats go all crazy and nutso even for a few minutes. It’ s not toxic and they’ll stop when they have enough. It’s a natural stimulant. Andy somehow reacts the same way when she smells coffee and start rubbing herself silly on the coffee cup!
