The other day, my father bought a huge pack of Snek Ku pillow biscuits. You know, the ones that are puffed up like a pillow, and empty inside? (Just take a look at the bottom-right part of the photo if you don't get it.)
Anyway, what's interesting here is that the package has so many different snack names on it. Usually when you see this kind of printing on a package, they are for different languages. But all these were in Malay!
I know the pic isn't clear enough to see all the words, so here are the different kinds of snacks listed on it:
Keropok berperisa ayam
Keropok berperisa bercili
Keropok berperisa biji cili
Keropok 3 in 1
Keropok berperisa ketam
Keropok berperisa udang
Keropok berperisa udang biji
And at the very bottom, just above the bar code, we see:
Keropok berperisa ketam
Why put all the descriptions/ingredients of different snacks on one packet that only contains one kind of snack? At first I thought they were using the same packaging for all the snacks, and this would allow them to do one-time printing for everything. But if the bar code and snack name is different at the bottom... it means they have to print the packaging separately too!
This is beyond my comprehension.
By the way, I really wonder... what is keropok berperisa udang biji?? Keropok berperisa biji cili is weird too... but at least you could assume that they use chilli seeds to give an extra "kick". Udang biji, on the other hand....
P.S.: I took additional photos of the packaging, actually... because I wasn't writing this immediately and I needed this for reference. I wasn't going to post them, but if my readers are curious enough and want more information... the ingredients can be checked below! :P
