Two back profiles of KSRTC. One the left is a premium class - the Super Deluxe Air Bus, and on the right is the common man's Super Fast! Wish some sense prevailed in the body building shops..
From my Multiply blog.:
After over a YEAR (more?) of ill-mourned absence from supermarket shelves, my much-yearned-for Del Monte Banana Ketchup has finally appeared again!!
Now I can have my fried chicken, meatballs, and lechon kawali tasting EXACTLY as they should! Viva Del Monte!

We in the advertising business always talk about brands and products and how we want people to relate to them, to have an emotional and visceral response to them. Sure, once in a while some cynicism creeps in, and the random "are we just BS-ing these people?" thought whisks through one's head.
But it's incidents like these that affirm how much certain products DO affect us emotionally. I never realized how much I'd miss this damn DM banana ketchup until they stopped stocking it. Sure, sure, there's Jufran and UFC and Papa banana ketchups, but they're NOT. THE. SAME. (Mind you, they have their own multitude of uses too -- I cannot conceive of Max's Fried Chicken without Jufran Banana Ketchup, for instance.) But certain dishes you've grown up with DEMAND that they go with the sauces you also grew up with.
Am I being too fanatical? I don't think so. Look at any random plane-load of OFWs arriving at NAIA. Look closely at their eyes -- that manic, ravenous look in their eyes, nearly murderous, secretly and wordlessly screaming: "JOLLIBEE CHICKENJOY!!!!"
I think people each have their own products that they (perhaps unknowingly) will mourn over if they ever get discontinued. I'm sure if I tried, I could find sizeable communities of fanatics for any product -- Starbucks coffee, Auntie Anne's pretzels, Jamaican patties, Jollibee's Peach Mango Pie, Chowking's Nai Cha, even Choc-Nut and Storck Menthol Candy.
Other discontinued products continue to leave small but real voids in our lives. Did you notice that they no longer stock PLANTER'S Cheese Curls and Cheese Balls anymore? What do you do when you have a 3am craving for Planter's and the nearest store selling it is in Los Angeles, California?
In a very real way, our youth is enshrined in the products that we grew up with. I would probably give up a sizeable chunk of my savings for an authentic 1980's-style one-liter bottle of Magnolia Chocolait -- the original GLASS bottle (with the cardboard cap!) that you'd need to shake before opening, because you can clearly see that the chocolatey goodness has settled on the bottom of the bottle.
But for now, I'll settle for my current obsession: Kopi Roti coffee buns. Someday they might discontinue these too; I'll just have to make sure I get my fill before they do...
What's better than smoked baby back ribs cooked low and slow? That would be baby back ribs accompanied by Cherry Bomb Bar-B-Que Sauce! Talk about a flavor explosion - this sauce will light up your life with a sweet, spicy & savory complexity of flavors featuring bing cherries and honey in a Pinot Noir based sauce. I combined an unusual array of spices and flavorings to make this truly a one-of-a-kind sauce that pairs perfectly with the ribs. So, light the fuse now… because it's "The Bomb"!

"Back!" Two girls on a fat bike are turned back by traffic controllers and take a different route. The girl in front is busy with her phone.
Shot with a vintage Polaroid SX-70 (Model 1 folding SLR) using film from The Impossible Project (see also the Impossible Collection).
First experimental shots with Impossible Project film and restored SX-70. The medium is the message.
