Marketing Gimmicks

Only a few days left before Christmas and I was running a little late in my shopping so I asked my sister to help me out.

She told me that she was going to do most of her shopping at a place selling imported Chinese products. I thought that since most products nowadays are made from China, I guess it was okay. So I gave her the money and told her to use her best judgment.

I was a bit amused at the things she bought as my “gifts”. Don’t get me wrong, the toys were okay (my godchildren will at least enjoy them for a couple of weeks). I just found that logos, banners and instructions on their packaging provided additional entertainment as well.


A toy car is described as “Wantable” and “Modern OK, one’s strong suit.” Another one is promoted as having “Superior Manufacture, High Quality Workmanship” which can “Break the Technology and Overstep the Future.” I guess you can never go wrong with such words as “Hot Shopping” and “Flash Entering” depicting a product. Bet it’s of top quality too since it claims to “Had Best Masterwork.”

But what floored me was the unique guarantee of a facial cream my sister bought. It promises to “One minutes dispel horniness”. Go figure.
