funny thing happened while shopping at the store :-)

so, in korea they offer some pretty sweet action things when you buy a product.

sometimes the pairings are weird, for example a roll of paper towels when you buy 4 cans of spam. and sometimes they are the coolest things ever.

back in january we went to e-mart and i saw a lady giving away free snowman ear-muffs

all you had to do was to buy some febreeze (which we didnt need at the time) and the cool ear muffs were mine . . . guess who bought some febreeze that day :-p

so then that takes us to this weeks shopping. we went to buy some awesome cereal, but we had a choice, either get the normal box that looks like this . . .

or get a box with something random and free attached to it. the choice was obvious, we choose the box below . . .
we didnt know exactley what was in plastic bag so delicately taped to the box, but we knew we wanted it (and by we i mean me (daniel) so i got home and immediately opened the bag, and this was in it:
and this is a picture of our fan . . .

apparently you are supposed to put your fan in the bag like this:

and then you are supposed to zip it up. if you look closely you can see a handle, to carry it?

i dont know why you are supposed to do this with your fan. koreans are a firm believers in "fan death" so maybe this is supposed to help with it? (if you sleep in a room with fan on then the fan someway somehow kills you) i dont know, but at least we got a bag for our fan. something we have been missing our entire lives, and now we dont know what we would do without it :-p

  1. OHHH..KAAY ? ! ? Hmmm...

    Very strange marketing techniques....VERY strange....Weird about the fan cover ~ but more importantly perhaps ~ is your need, Daniel, since LAST JANUARY, (??) to own those snowmen ear-muffs for yourself !

    I am sooo glad you have some vacation time coming soon ~ 'twould appear it is desparately needed ! :-)

  2. Ok, so I've heard of a man bag, but never a fan bag. You learn something new everyday. LOL
