    one thing i have noticed thru the years: the locally-sourced ones are less distorted than those sourced thru other means.
    but one has to remove the SM markings from the external surfaces, if one is to pass them off as pasalubongs.
    That means the locally-sourced ones had good cold chains.

    Iba talaga doc lasa ng US made chocolates. I think this was discussed several times at the board, even Pringles and Doritos much better pag US made Unfortunately most that are sold here are from asia or middle east ata

    Used to work in Nestle.

    Iba ang formula for Asian market

    same sa Maccas. Taste is adapted sa host country

    is it possible,
    the asian variety have some "tweakings", to cater to local taste as well as to weather?

    also,
    freshness counts. what is the market turnover rate?

    as confirmed by bmacavanza it's a different formula nga

    and I suppose some ingredients are sourced locally? When it comes to Cadbury I like UK made. Ferrero Germany (never tried Italy made pa)

    It was in 1995

    Ideally yes, However, not in my experience

    It took me 7 interviews in different days

    Two background investigations, literally

    We're having our bodega converted into a small house for our driver and his family. Sa foreman namin pinagawa since may structure na and they just need to replace the roof, install ceiling and kinis the walls and paint and fix the bathroom

    Nakaka asar kasi last month hindi pa simula work e nanghihiram na pang bday ng anak niya, Feb ang work, Jan humihiram na siya. Today naman first day of work hiram agad P5k. I don't get it kasi relatively malaki naman kita nila. Hindi naman sila minimum wager, doble nga e! (P1500/day)

    My Mom said ugali daw talaga ng mga construction yan kasi when we had our house in Laguna fixed panay advance din. Yung All around kasi namin na more than 10 yrs na samin bigla nag AWOL. Yung driver naman namin one time big time humiram (construction of his house in 2017) but then again years na samin work

    Ang ingay ng apo ng driver namin, I think she is 2 yrs old. Is it normal for that age to scream like a freaking banshee for HOURS at a time? I don't know if I live in an "old" village because I don't remember any screaming babies in my life. Sobrang jet lagged ako and have not slept in a bed for almost 48 hrs and I have to endure this. Buti fat lab ko can sleep through all this noise.
