When Maggie Meets MAGGI





When Maggie Meets MAGGI

Flashback

It is like a midsummer’s day on a wet and squally Sunday morning at 8 a.m.

Papa and Ma are going to give their child of two her own bowl of Maggi Noodles.and decide to have some fun while doing so.

Papa adjusts his camera and he and bro are already at the dining table.

Ma gives some final touches to the MAGGI Noodles and gives Papa and brother their bowls of noodles.

Baby cries out loud as she walks as quickly as her feet would take her. “Maddi,” she cries and climbs up her chair. But where is her bowl?

The others are eating as if nothing is wrong.

When baby protests loudly, Ma gives her an empty packet of MAGGI Noodles (Oh, dear!)

Baby looks at it and then them with their bowls and her protests grow louder and louder. (Oh, dear, again)

The family are chatting and cracking jokes but are oblivious to her plight.(Tsk, tsk)

Papa hasn’t touched his food because he is doing something with his phone. So baby dips both her hands into the bowl...

...and drops the noodles everywhere but into her mouth. (Dear, dear!)

The family is silent. 

Baby eats MAGGI Noodles for the first time. The family is quiet as they observe baby  registering the taste...

...and then salivating with joy, she reaches for the second scoop.

Mission accomplished, the entire family’s thrilled all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Yay!) The baby’s happy ‘coz everybody’s happy.

Ma is angry but she is also laughing as she kisses baby. Baby cannot understand as Ma wipes baby’s mouth, changes baby’s clothes and gives her a large bowl with little noodles.

Baby eats with both her hands holding the bowl unperturbed of the mess she is creating. 

Maddi. I love Maddi, she seems to be saying, salivating all the while.

“Yes,” said Ma, “that is why from today we will call you Maggie.  The Maggie who loves MAGGI Noodles. The entire family seems to agree.

Personally, I do, too. 

How about you? (Wink, wink)

Can Maggi Help Mother


Baby’s Not Eating! Can Maggi help?

Flashback

It’s 7 p.m., on a rainy Saturday evening.

Ma is having trouble feeding baby khichadi. 

Ma shows her the dog, quick a spoonful of food into her mouth. 

Baby wants to get down. Mother holds her tightly and then she shows her a kitten, food inside her mouth. (Tsk, tsk) 

Baby protests, okay, let’s count cars, food in her mouth (Tsk, tsk)

It takes one hour to give her five teaspoons of food. (Still more tsk, tsk)

Ma is tired and frustrated (Oh, dear)...

...all of which is recorded and uploaded in YouTube (Dear, dear)

Papa, a mute spectator, has a suggestion: cook all the vegetables that she doesn’t like and put it in Nestle’s Maggi Masala Noodles.

Ma thinks it is a wonderful idea. But will it work?

Will it?

What do you think? 

(Wink, wink)

Nestle’s Nescafe And Maggi Noodles Saves The Day





Nestle’s Nescafe And Maggi Noodles Does It Again ( Heh heh)



It’s a hot and sunny Sunday morning. 

At last, a holiday (Ooph)

A couple of young lads enter a restaurant, one of whom has been identified for a good-natured prank by the management and Nestle.

The young man signals to a waiter and asks, “What is special today?”

The waiter beams and says, “If you drink ten cups of coffee each, within an hour, you will get another five free. And that’s not all, you will get a free cup of coffee everyday for a full year on the house.”

The men are excited. They accept the challenge.

The waiter leaves and the boys laugh. Remember college? They guzzled booze like drinking water. What’s ten cups plus five? (Hah!)

Shortly, the waiter arrived with...
...wait a minute, those cups were very, very big! (Tsk, tsk)

They had the first four easily and then began to feel sick! (Dear, dear) all of which was recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Dear me!)

After another two rounds they looked jaundiced and accepted defeat.

The waiter went inside and came out with a bill for 15 cups of coffee each. The men were too weak to protest. (Oh, dear)

The men were about to leave when the manager arrived and said that a prank was played on them by the management and Nestle and that all of them could have their money refunded and that’s not all: they could get a free cup of coffee everyday for the whole year with best compliments from the management and Nestle’s Nescafé. And would they be so kind as to each accept a hamper of Nestle’s Maggi Noodles?Thanks for your sportsmanship. Have a nice day,.

The happy guys shared their story with all their friends and family. 
What a way to make loyal friends, no? (Tee hee)

Nescafe Saves The Day Though Maggi Takes The Cake



Nestle’s Nescafe Saves The Day, Though Maggi Noodles Takes The Cake


It’s a hot and sunny Friday morning. 

Thank God, it’s Friday.   (Phew!)

A middle-aged gent enters a restaurant. He has been identified for some good-natured prank by the management and Nestle

The gent wipes the sweat from his face while a waiter puts the air conditioner on full blast. The gent expresses his gratitude and asks for a hot cup of coffee. The waiter makes a quick exit..

...and comes out quite quickly. The waiter tells the man that it’s Nescafé. Does he like the art on the cup of coffee? 

The man says sure, it looks like a logo of Nestle. 

The waiter goes in and comes out with the bill and a file.

The waiter presents him the bill and a fine.

The gent is perplexed. What fine, he asks.

You drank the logo, says the waiter

The good gent splutters and he begins to sound hysterical.

The waiter is unmoved. Would you drink our national flag? No, no? He opens the file and shows him some legalese. Company policy, Sir.

The gent turns an ugly blue. He wants to see the manager asap (oh, dear!) all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube (dear, dear)

The manager comes in nervously wringing his hands

“How can I help you,” he asks.

The gent gives him an earful and threatens to take them to court. (Tsk, tsk)

The manager apologises and says a joke was played on him by the management and Nestle and would he be so kind as to accept a hamper of Nescafé and Maggi Noodles with best compliments from Nestle. Thank you, vannakkum. The gent is happy and leaves. 

All’s well that ends well...
...until the next time...(wink, wink)
