Seasons a changing

Durex-Lychee

Spotted these at the checkout counter while at super market:

Me: you know it's summer when the lychee flavoured condoms hit the supermarkets...

(snigger..)

C: yeah... what do you think were the winter flavours?

Me: kumquat lemon...

C: ginger....

Me: steamed milk!!!

(all seasonal drinks that are pushed in Hong Kong in winter...)

They should really look at segmentation and consider premium flavours such as bird's nest and hasma for those who are willing to pay more... (i know this isn't really food related... but what the heck...)
