Evidence that the Lobster even rules the snack world!
if you had read my earlier post on the lobster and crab then.. here is part 2 ish
OBSERVE.
To perpetuate this myth ( BY WHO? well me suspects our innate whoring to structure or precedent that has no real precedent ) eh? ....of lobsters being of a much higer monetary value....see attached picture of a bag of lobster crakers next to a bag of prawn crackers. Why do the lobster crackers have to be that BIG?, do we find some comfort in the fact that this reconstituted lump of deep fried flour and rotting seafood actually will contain some lobster because it is long, big and expensive looking? And while most crackers curl up on frying, oddly these lobster crackers stay flat and elegant, regular, crafted. and when packed, are stacked neatly in an oversized bag.
Even the label on the bag of lobster crackers informs us that there are 9 pieces.... Here we buy some keropok and we have an inventory list! hmm .... just as you would find on legit well designed food packs. ( eg : contains 25,000 grains of rice etc ) What a high code move! obviously we can count the number of blinking crakers cos they are so huge, but all the same, i think the guy who designed the label is paying attention to the value references although his graphic skills fall short of the mark. 2 colour print is so lo fi. I personally think that when dealing with such expensive crackers better to be above board and transparent to avoid political fallouts in the snack industry. right?
the prawn crackers on the other hand are small, irregular, curved, and the label fails to tell us how many crackers there are in each bag cos perhaps the factory really does not give a toss how many goes into a bag, cheap ,plentiful, knock yourself out
both bags cost $2 each
one you munch and get crumbs on your shirt
the other should be eaten with a knife and fork on plate of some sort.
