McDo's Taste of Korea lineup: Still Expectations versus Reality

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Find your new K-faves in McDo's Taste of Korea lineup! Experience K-poppin’ flavors that will make you say #SaranghaeyoKoTo! 

Mcdonalds Philippines launched their NEW MENU. The K-Chicken and K-Beef burgers, Strawberry Banana Sundae and Honey Butter Fries.

Does making the buns black, among others, change the taste? What else is new?

Ano ginamit to make it black? Squid ink? Or just black food coloring? 

"So I tried the new Korean Chicken Burger from Mcdo and my verdict is...

Keri lang haha I mean the color made it kinda different pero it tasted like your average chicken burger hehe."

Taste like ordinary chicken burger? The expectation is still high, especially when you see the ad and the visual menu but the reality still is underwhelming.

Chicken is a bit better. Juicy in fairness! I don't like the beef, it tastes like Sausage Egg Mcmuffin. And yes it is messy because of the sauce. I don't recommend it ordering via food delivery, wasak na yan pagdating lol haha.. It's not the best, but we now have another option aside from their McChicken. 

Para sa mga curious sa lasa nito, yung Korean chicken burger is chicken fillet na nakacoat ng samjang with kimchi and veggies.

The K-Beef and K-Chicken Burgers' only difference is the beef had a fried egg, but both have the same sauce and garnishing (I never noticed the cheese), including the black buns with sesame seeds that made it look appealing. Though the chicken was thicker compared to the beef, but the egg made them worth the same amount of P160. Take out the special sauce, waley na lasa...bland na.

Yung honey butter flavored fries lang nagustuhan ko. I ordered the family size that costs P149. Who doesn't love newly cooked french fries regardless of its flavor?

I always love fries naman kahit crispy or soggy na. The two sachet of Honey Butter flavored powders were just right for the family size fries that I ordered. Taste was acceptable, and will considering ordering it again. 

Same with the strawberry banana sundae (P35), I can substitute it for the chocolate or caramel flavored syrups. 

Can't get enough of Luis Manzano wedding cry memes

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

After four years of being a couple, Luis "Lucky" Manzano just got married to Jessy Mendiola. 

The couple announced the good news by posting their wedding video on Jessy’s YouTube channel. The two have been married since February 21. They tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at The Farm at San Benito in Lipa City, Batangas witnessed only by family and select friends.

Both of them can be seen crying as Jessy walked down the aisle. But Luis could not help but bring out his funny side by starting off his vows with the lyrics of Gary Valenciano’s “Warrior is a Child.” 

In the exchange of wedding vows, Luis told Jessy, "Even on those days na pareho tayong hindi kamahal-mahal, I will choose to love you."

Jessy meanwhile has uttered: "Today is the beginning of our journey, our lives together. I choose to spend today, and all of my tomorrows with you."

Luis is 39, Jessi is 28. Their gap is more than a decade does this mean the rest of you out there still have a chance with an older or younger mate? 

The couple is eyeing another full wedding celebration this year. 

Luis, the one who has FHM Beauties as his list of girlfriends, has tied the knot to his latest men's magazine cover syota.

He was said to have cried during their civil wedding. Thus out came a lot of memes showing other reasons why a grown man would cry.

Kudos to Luis Manzano, at least he is embracing it in stride. Sign of maturity and security.

Yung akala mo utot lang, pero tae lumabas?

Yung pinabaranggay ka dahil di daw essential yung lugaw mo.

Yung sinabihan ka ng "Mind your own business" pero wala ka namang business.

Yung may nakita kang maganda pero maganda din gusto

Yung pumunta nanay mo sa mall tapos pag uwi walang dalang pasalubong

Yung sinabi ng friend mo na "Pre! ikaw muna mag bayad wala akong barya.." . 

Yung taeng tae kana kaso kailangan mo mag tiis kasi may tao pa sa CR

Yung di ka naman ang kumain pero ikaw parin nag hugas nang plato

Yung ang daming nag "Mine" sa live selling mo pero walang sumipot during the meetup

Yung umiyak ka tapos maghihiwalay din pala 

Yung nakita mong kaibigan mong marupok  na nakipagbalikan sa ex niya

Yung pumunta ka ng birthday tapos hindi mo naabutan ang shanghai

Yung naiyak ka sa tuwa dahil yung gustong gusto mong pink isuot mo sa kasal mo natupad

Yung naipit ang bayag mo dahil sa mabilis na pagsara ng zipper

Yung pinilit kang ikasal sa babae kahit alam nilang lalake gusto mo

Yung feeling na naiiyak ka sa mga sagot mo sa modules

Yung ginagago na kayo ni Duterte pero DDS pa rin kayo

Yung sure ball ka na perfect ka or more than pass pero paglabas ng score epic fail pala because you didn't follow instructions

Yung nakabili kana ng swimsuit para sa swimming ninyo tapos biglang naglockdown

Yung ang tagal  mong hinintay nung 4k pesos bawat pamilya pero biglang nag iba na naman ang guidelines ng IATF

2021 is the year of Love indeed! 

Jessy Mendiola and Luis Manzano - Married 

Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez - Engaged

Derek Ramsay and Ellen Adarna - Engaged

Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson - Lovers 

Arci Muñoz and Jm De Guzman - Bff to Lovers 

Seriously, congratulations to the couple. We hope your marriage would last and not be among the list of divorced celebrities.

Julie's Bakeshop joins the Oddvertising trend

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

HERE WE GO, AGAIN! From RC Cola to Mega Sardines to Julie's Bakeshop. The Weird Filipino Commercial Trilogy is complete. 

Have you seen the newest commercial of Julie's Bakeshop with the #StopTitaShaming? 

Julie’s Bakeshop kneads, dusts, cuts, bakes and serves. Tita shamers get eaten like pandesal. Their slogan — “Pwedeng fresh pa rin kahit 40 na.” — is giving me life! 

The Philippines' commercial industry is entering a new era and idk if I'm living for it.

Alam ninyo, 'di ko na rin alam ang trip ng brands these days. Julie's Bakeshop, baka hindi ako makatulog tonight. 

What happened to feel-good #advertising concepts? Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako o kikilabutan sa advertisement ng Julie’s Bakeshop.

Advertising helps communicate what your brand stands for. Add value to your company and it resonates with your audience.

The Julie's Bakeshop ad is relatable in its own way. Not everything has to be sunshine and daisies just so it could resonate with the people.

Julie's Bakeshop, Mega Sardines (or Tuna ba) and RC Cola's ads are today's version of Wansapanataym of the Batang 90's

How tito can you be? 

Thanks, Julie's Bakeshop for this demonstration of how the body of Christ was formed. Lol!

Those who cannot appreciate the new ad of Julie’s Bakeshop (and RC Cola and Mega) cannot appreciate advertising, or art. 

That Julie's Bakeshop commercial sure is creative ah! I love that "fresh pa rin kahit 40 na" tagline.

If there's something to take away from the Julie's Bakeshop ad, it's that y'all need to date my old friend dahil pwedeng fresh pa rin kahit 40 na. 

People who don’t know the importance of branding would definitely like Julie’s Bakeshop new ad. But the reality is, kawawa yung brand after this. Paano yung brand value? What is the brand message? Na mukhang maasim yung bread? Lasang sweaty guy? 

This is little thread on absurdist advertising (or oDdvErtisIng) no one asked for, but we need our fun little projects to distract from existential dread. 

Julie's Bakeshop made some points here. When men annoy you, turn them into bread.

Is it cannibalism if the human turns into a bread? WTF Julie's Bakeshop!!!! Stop messing my brain!

Julie's bakeshop decided to celebrate their 40th anniversary by ending auntshaming through baking offenders (I wish I was joking).

Turning an asshole into bread makes sense in my fantasy. Let's all learn from this Julie's Bakeshop ad. When men say stupid shit, turn them into pandesal. 

This was nightmares-level weird but well played, Julie's Bakeshop. Valiant effort to keep up with these weird times.

Pretty peculiar! But if the aim was to be the talk of the town, then it definitely hit the goal

So now when I look at bread I'll be reminded of this nightmare. Thanks, Julie's Bakeshop.

Did I understand the point of this? Vaguely. But will I buy from Julie's Bakeshop? Yes, because I'm gullible.

At this point, just treat it as an abstraction and make your own interpretations lol.

Julie’s Bakeshop really said eat the tita-shamers‼️ Great to see how PH advertisers are now upgrading their attack to the Filipino public.

Let’s not be afraid to change landscapes: today the ads, tomorrow the pinoy series and next year the government.
