You're Not "Potato-ed"

Mister Potato! Everybody loves it! (Yeah, we all love junk food, don't we?)

A few packs of Mister Potato were lucky enough to have been sent all the way to Japan. They're not merely finger-licking good potato chips but also come with a surprise!

You see, Mamee was having a scratch-and-win promotion. You find a card inside each pack of Mister Potato, scratch it, and stand a chance to win a Nokia 6233 or an LG Plasma TV. Ooh, aah... Cross your fingers and pray hard!

"Gores! Kalau kentang anda menang!" it says. Literally translated, it means, "Scratch! You win if you're potato-ed!"

Knowing that the chances of winning a scratch-and-win contest are slimmer than getting squashed by Godzilla in New York City, we scratched anyway.

As expected, we're not in luck.

"Anda tak kentang. Cuba lagi." - You're not potato-ed. Try again.

And, as a consolation, there was a ridiculous conundrum to keep you entertained.

"Benda apa kalau gosok, lepas tu jadi tegak?" - What becomes stiff after rubbing?

Oh, you're dirty-minded. The answer is "seterika", iron. "Gosok" in Malay language has a couple of meanings: brush, rub or iron. As for "tegak", it can mean: straight or stiff.

Oh, here's another one.

"Which kind of bird doesn't feed its offspring?"
Well, "bird" can be an euphemism for you-know-what. But in this case, it means the real bird.

"Belatok bird. Because it only feeds his grandfather." (Bela: feed, atok: grandfather)

Global warming sure is driving people crazy, eh?

Oh, I wonder what's in the other packs of Mister Potato...
