Oh No! (Brand!)

It's closing season.

After M&S, here's another international brand that's closing in the Philippines.


Yup, No brand is no more.

Part of me really isn't surprised. They don't have stand-alone stores this big in Korea, so I'm surprised that they had it here. At first, it looked promising, but when they started populating the store with non-No Brand items, it looked like they were losing focus.

What they should do is follow the Korean model of selling the brand inside Robinsons supermarkets. (They sell it inside Emart in Korea.) At least, we won't completely miss out on these no brand goodies.

Takis (not) cheap

So, it's true that they're finally carrying this Mexican classic in Robinsons Supermarket.

Got to check it out, and was surprised at the price. A big bag is around P450! Gosh, this just cost around $1 (both in Mexico and the US), so this price is a bit surprising.

Much as I'm into Takis, I'm not sure if I'll bite.
