Uncle Chips Sells Out !

Uncle Chips Sells Out : Lays chips, has bought out Uncle Chips.
It is indeed a sad day for us all.

…That's one small step for PepsiCo and one big-ass retrograde step for Uncle Chips.

1:

I can imagine how the events must have played out.
Some Yankee sitting in PepsiCo's offices in Atlanta must have picked up the phone and said, "ssup homie dogg, gemme the number of Mr. Uncle. I just found out that my wife is blowing the neighbour and my therapist says I should let out mah feelin's by takin' over another dude's company".

But where does that leave Us? Don't our sentiments matter?

Pamela Anderson couldn't see her feet for different reasons. But here, in India, for us, it was Uncle Chips. I take one look at my huge tummy and get this warm fuzzy feeling, knowing fully well that Uncle Chips is responsible for each for those 52423668557 Billion molecules of saturated fat. That's right !! An Indian chip.

Where is the Hindu right-wing when you need them the most?
Where are all the Indian products?
I mean what's next in line?

Today:
Doodh si safedi,
Nirma se aaye
Sabki pasand Nirmaaaaa…
Washing Powder Nirma .. Nirma !!!

Tomorrow, we got Britney Spears endorsing Nirma in push up's:
Romp in the hay – all night – all nii-iight
Nirma is Just plain Right !! – plain rii-ight
Cos there ain't nothin' better…
PPS. Join our war on terror

Wherever I look now-a-days:Tide, Surf, Pepsodent, Harpic, Lux, Bata, Timex– All foreign brands.(though I don't feel bad about using Harpic – comes in handy cleaning shitpots).

But then, this is globalization. Unsuspecting foreigners trying to get their cable TV to work dial a local number and get connected, to an Indian sitting in Pune, halfway across the world.
And, and unsuspecting housewife buying the new Tide detergent, only to send a part of the profits halfway around the world.

Peace.
