(Ac)Me Time

For the longest time, the term “Acme” was often seen in Looney Tunes cartoons, particularly Road Runner. This is the brand of equipment that Wil E. Coyote would use to try and trap our beep-beeping hero.

Who would’ve thought that it was a real brand. In the Philippines, to boot!


It turns out, there used to be an Acme Supermarket here in Manila! It’s a factoid I learned while researching for one of the projects that I’m working on.

Oh, the things you learn while on quarantine! Harhar!
