I am a chips lover. I just can't stop myself from buying a crackling packet of fried potatoes. I just can't. I was an ardent lover of Lay's (Lay's chips has been marketed as a division of Frito-Lay, a company owned by PepsiCo since 1965) until the amount of air defeated the amount of chips in a single packet. I mean I do admit we all pay for the air when buying chips but there is a limit to the amount of air I want. Then started my boycott of Lay's and switching to Doritos ( brand of seasoned tortilla chips produced since 1964 by the North American food company Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo, Inc.). Sadly enough, Doritos left a tragic dent in my pocket.
Dramatically, deshi chips came to my rescue. Today, I had the privilege of tasting another magical production of Bombay Sweets (God bless them)- Alooz. Due to lack of careful observation, I missed the Bombay Sweets logo and due to preconceived notion, I assumed Alooz to be an Indian brand of chips. Somehow, the shop opposite to my office sells Alooz like people never had chips before. The shelves are adorned with the colorful wrappers and I decided to finally give it a try after months of ignorance.
Yum. The taste made me look at the wrapper again. Bombay Sweets does it again! And the best part? 15tk worth of a packet filled with chips. Yes, my friends, chips..not air!
Munching on the chips, I got lost in thoughts of reverence for Bombay Sweets. I wish this company lasts forever and ever. But I wonder who does their creative work! Cricketer Mahmudullah misses a flight for the chips? Puh-leez!
Good to see articles on local brands and the last line of criticism. wish they read you...
