Slurp!Differentiating your bubblegum product from the ka-jillions of different chewing gums available in the market is a tough task. Wrigley’s, Extra, Boop!, BubblePop, Ding Dong, Tiger are just some of the many MANY types of gum available today in local stores.

They’ve tried everything: slap-on tattoos, lucky draw-like schemes, exotic car stickers, hot babe stickers etc have all been done to death. So what could be done now to secern a gum product?

Dan Pak of Pakistan came up with a new idea. Read about it, after the jump!

The concept of Dan Pak’s ‘Bubble Your Name’ is that there’s a different name on every ball. They thought having a ball named after you and then eating it must be quite pleasureful. So it’s very exciting you see!

Apna naam ball par pao! Aur 10 mazeed free balls pao!I’ve Got The Balls

The company that produces these balls used this deal to promote their product that said: “Apna naam ball par pao! Aur 10 mazeed free balls pao!”*. I’ve had my name come out on two balls. That meant I would get 20 news balls. FREE BALLS!!

I showed the two named-after-me balls quite blatantly to the guy at the shop. And he here’s what he had to say,

“Sir, yeh aap kya keh rahein hein? Koi faida nahee hai! Mein iss tarhaan ek waqt pay aap ko itnay balls kaisa day sakta hoon?**

I knew at once that it was some fake-balled deal. So I read the fine print on their poster outside a shop. It stated that I could only win those extra Bubble Your Names IF and only IF I gave them back to the shop I bought them from. And it also only supported some of the larger outlets!

It was confirmed. I was screwed for my Rs. 2 by the people at Dan Pak. They must laughing at me having taken their bait. And I wasn’t the only one who was caught in their net of lies and betrayal. My little brother likes these more than I do!

The Stuff Balls Are Made Of

Ingredients: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Gum Base, Glycerine, Anti-Oxidants, Acidifier, Artifical Flavours, Artificial Colours.

That is surely not good for anyone’s health. The only thing that sounds healthy are the Anti-Oxidants. But considering the magnitude of unhealthy constituents,  I’m pretty and sure that they harm more than heal our bodies.

I cannot even fathom it’s noxious effects!

Though yes, you must give it a try. For all juicy things must be tried in one place or the other. Like this poor little girl did.

Staying away from the Balls,

*Find your name on the ball. Win 10 more balls!
** Sir, what are you saying? There is no point! How can I give you so many balls at once?
