Eat your vege Maggie!

I was on Kesas Highway at 6pm today and spotted this advert on a lorry.  Very striking and effective I must say. It was evening rush hour so the exposure must be good.


But I think it is rather odd that an instant noodle brand would carry such a health conscious message. Perhaps out of guilt, considering the negative health effects instant noodles have on our health if consumed continuously.

Or perhaps they want people to associate their brand with a healthy image, some kind of branding strategy to shake off that MSG persona and 'waxed noodle' myth. Has anyone heard of law suits against instant noodle for hair loss?  If they can't remove MSG from the equation, maybe the government should implement warning images of hair loss patterns on the noodle packaging, much like the ones on cigarette packs,

Now we can add one more request at the mamak's; "Magi goreng lebih sayur" to pair with "Teh Tarik Kurang Manis"

Whatever it is, the message is noble, albeit the actual motive behind it.

Now eat your vege Maggie!

  2. Typical of advertising messages - the reality is the opposite of the impression.

    Your new header is great, Agus.
