Extra long?

Tadi pergi kedai tengok frozen chips ada sale so I pun jenis greedy giler, ambik yang ‘extra long french fries’. Dalam hati masa tu dah terbayang2 kesedapan makan french fries yang sangat lah panjangnya. Sure kalah makan french fries McD kan! Hehehehe…. And for sure makan sikit aje dah kenyang sebab panjang2 kan! At the same time, I dok terbayang, besar manalah kentang yang diaorang guna untuk buat extra long french fries ni. Kalau kentang tu species bantut or the politically correct term ‘vertically challenged’ macam I, sure awal2 dah kena reject kan! Hikhikhikhik…..

Nak jadi fries pun ada selection criteria…

“Kamu pendek and chubby, tak boleh nak masuk dalam ‘extra long french fries’ package. Kamu kena pergi factory sebelah. Diaorang buat mashed potatoes, sudah semestinya they will want you!”

“Kamu tak lah pendek but tak lah panjang sangat so pergi kat factory ‘regular fries’ tu ye!”

“Wow! Look at you, so long and well proportioned. Welcome to the ‘extra long french fries’ pack!”

Muahahahahahaha……

Tengok, tak percaya cakap I! Extra long french fries dia tulis kat pack tu.

But, bila I bukak the packet……

Uwahhhhh, sungguhlah rasa tertipu I ni…

I said to The Other Half “if these were what they called extra long, I sure wouldn’t want to buy their regular chips!”

Then The Other Half said to me, “That’s the problem with you. You always think when people say extra long, you really picture it to be extra long. No wonder you are always disappointed! :-D”

I somehow don’t think he was solely talking about the fries….Hmmmmm…..

So, tengok lah the fries that came out of the packet Tuan2 and Puan2…

Lagi panjang McD nya fries kan!

That’s only a medium sized muffin case and most of the fries are only as tall as the case aje. You rasa diaorang tersilap packing ke or memang I tertipu? Sungguh lah cisssss!!!!!!

    Kak Ain,
    tu lah yg I dok terbayang gak, betapa besarnya potato tu kan nak buat fries yg extra long ni, hehehe

    Ain,
    Memang sungguh rasa tertipu tapi tak terbantut pulak selera I makan fries tu tadi, hahaha

    Jaja,
    Wakakaka...I tak baca fineprint dia ye. Actually plastic dia yg extra long ye bukan fries nya, hahaha

    Gluck,
    tu lah, tu yg I tak boleh bayangkan dia punya normal size fries, sure kemetot habis kan! Hahaha

    Mrs. Adam,
    Tipah tertipu dgn marketing strategy dia, hehehe

    Ratu M.K,
    Agaknya ini gang2 illegal immigrants tercampak kat factory 'extra long' tu, hehehehe..

    Kak Azie,
    hahahahahaha....

    NenekPenne,
    Memang hubby I tu, otak blue sentiasa! Tak larat betul, hehehe

    Rima,
    Eh, otak kita yg blue or memang everytime double meaning yang keluar from their mouths ye? Wakakakaka....

    Juliana,
    dia tak boleh nak sumbat dalam packet tu, tu yang terpaksa di potong kontot! Hikhikhikh....

    Kak Yati,
    I think they are 'extra long' in the land of the pygmis kot, hahahaha.....
    I nak aje beli another packet to see if they mistakenly put the short ones into that packet or I was definitely scammed! Hehehe

    Kak Zai,
    we all kat sini kalau harga kat rack murah and then bila scan mahal, boleh claim harga murah tu sbb false advertisement kan. And diaorang memang akan bagi harga murah tu :-).
