When Was The Last Time You Used Matches?

When was the last time you really used matches? The match became an almost unused object.

Still, you won't believe it when you see the price of some matches. Of course, most of them are so expensive because they have historical value, that is, they now turn into antiques or collectibles. Here are a few examples of them;

Introducing the world's most expensive matchbox. The price is 6.000 USD. It was prepared as a souvenir for one of the famous dinner parties of Charles Lindbergh, one of the famous figures of the 20s. By the way, 4 matches were missing. Details

Here is another work of art; This matchbox from the 1930s went on sale at an auction price starting from 2.000 USD.

It contains 40 matches. The matchbox was prepared in Germany with lithograph printing. Lets See

By the way, there are a few more examples. Although these have no historical value. But they are quite assertive on some issues. Eg; UCO Stormproof Matches. The price is not much 8 USD.

KitKat Japonya’da Neden Bir Numara?

KitKat Japonya’da piyasaya sürüldüğünde Japonlar hemen birşey farketti; “Kitto Katsu” Japonlar ya da genel olarak Uzakdoğu toplumları uğur, uğursuzluk, lanet konularında hassaslar. Örneğin “4” sayısı. Herhalde Asya kültüründeki en talihsiz sayı 4 . Okunuşu, “si” şeklindedir ve “ölüm” anlamına gelen “şı”ya benzer. Bunun yanında “8” (hachi) sayısı, zenginlik, servet anlamına gelen Çince sözcüğe benzerliğinden dolayı Asya kültürü’nde en sevilen sayıdır . Pekin Yaz Olimpiyatları’nın açılış tarihini hatırlayan var mı? Söyleyelim; 08.08.08 ’de saat tam 08.08.08 ’de. Bu işin avantajları da yok değil.

UNILEVER'S HIDDEN X9 FACTOR

Unilever is preparing to release a new shampoo in India. While preparing the labels of the shampoos, a mischievous worker adds a statement saying “Contains X9 Factor” on the label. This last minute change added to the label is overlooked and all shampoos are printed and dispatched with this label. It will be difficult to collect millions of shampoo bottles and print labels again.

E-mails filled with anger from customers begin to fall; complaints, reproaches ... In fact, nobody has the slightest idea of what the X9 factor is.
