梅子甘味, 解便秘方



爽呀 ! 真係無得頂 ! Do you know why the Japanese have a life span of 82.9 years on average ? Because they don't suffer from constipation ! And this is the ancient secret : they use plums to solve the problem. 大將軍豐臣秀吉都話 :「爽呀!」 According to my limited health knowledge, plums could possibly relieve constipation. It just so chooses to sell this plum essence in an exaggerated and over-claimed way in order to charge consumers a higher price. Selling at HK$18.5 per bottle, this thing is not cheap and product cost could only be HK$3-4. 作大Ｄ, 賣貴Ｄ Somehow this is the mentality of many health supplement manufacturers. Sigh ...

I always wonder why people are willing to spend nearly 20HKD to buy a bottle of so-call "health supplement".

20HKD can buy a lot of things; several oranges, a big brunch of bananas or kilograms vegetables, which are all scientifically-proved good for digestion and prevent constipation and will not leave any side-effect.

maybe, a well-known saying is true: It is easy to make a profit from a product or service targeted on female.

Giordano's frog

One student asked me why Giordano re-uses its frog logo from ages ago. I said I know don't know. Really ! Giordano is a value-for-money brand. If it prints its logo onto the T-shirts and jeans, be it the frog or anything that says "Giordano", will sales increase ? Probably not. Giordano is a brand you wear but you don't want to admit. It's not a brand like Nike or LV that can uplift your image after all. So if it puts the frog back onto its product, there may be adverse effect on its sales. I haven't visited its store at the time of writing but according to its website, it hasn't added back the frog to its products. I wouldn't do that either. So what is the point of having the frog back in its print and advertising materials ? To remind us of its good old days ?

HKET fan page

Image
Ask yourself as a FB user or a user of any social media : under what circumstances would you share a page, a video or any news ? Either you find it useful or funny for others to enjoy. So in this case, if you don't find the HKET page useful, you just won't share it. Would such lucky draw boost the number of people sharing the page ? Some people may be attracted but I suspect most of us won't really bother. Try paying people to become a fan of your page ? You will need to pay more. LOL
