Saba Pink Salmon
Saba Pink Salmon is the only canned Pink Salmon manufactured in the Philippines. Also a market leader in its category. SABA Pink Salmon is the most premium of the premiums among the SABA SEAFOOD product lines.
I just needed to hear that because being a salmon lover myself, it is a welcome treat to find a salmon product that is conveniently packaged so that you can store it and bring it anywhere you want it. And the taste? It wasn't exactly the taste I expected from a salmon but still not bad in the palate department. I will definitely see myself buying this salmon product in the near future especiai when the price of fresh salmon is quite steep.
Daisy Condensed Milk
I encountered this Daisy Condensed Milk in a grocery in Caloocan City. I just knew I had to buy because I am such a fan of condensed milk which I use as a spread in pandesal. It's a lot cheaper than the other popular brands which made me to think that there might have been a lot of compromises made...like the taste? But when I did get home to try it on for size...I wasn't reallt disappointed. Daisy Condensed Milk could definitely be a cheaper alternative for all condensed Milk lovers out there.
Kool Aid Strawberry
Kool-Aid is a brand of flavored drink mix now owned by Kraft Foods.
Kool-Aid was invented by Edwin Perkins in Hastings, Nebraska, United States. All of his experiments took place in his mother's kitchen. Its predecessor was a liquid concentrate called Fruit Smack. To reduce shipping costs, in 1927, Perkins discovered a way to remove the liquid from Fruit Smack, leaving only a powder. This powder was named Kool-Aid. Perkins moved his production to Chicago in 1931 and Kool-Aid was sold to General Foods in 1953. Hastings still celebrates a yearly summer festival called Kool-Aid Days on the second weekend in August, in honor of their city's claim to fame. Kool-Aid is known as Nebraska's official soft drink.
Kool-Aid is usually sold in powder form, in either packets or small tubs. The drink is prepared by mixing the powder with sugar and water (typically by the pitcher-full). The drink is then refrigerated and later served. Additionally, there are some sugar-free varieties. Kool-Aid is/was also sold as single-serving packets designed to be poured into bottled water, as small plastic bottles with pre-mixed drink, or as novelties (ice cream, fizzing tablets, etc.)
Kool-Aid Man, an anthropomorphic frosty pitcher filled with Kool-Aid, is the mascot of Kool-Aid. The character was introduced shortly after General Foods acquired the brand in the 1960s. In TV and print ads, Kool-Aid Man was known for randomly bursting through walls of children's homes and proceeding to make a batch of Kool-Aid for them. His catch phrase is "Oh, yeah!"
Starting in 2011, Kraft began allocating the majority of the Kool-Aid marketing budget towards Latinos. According to the brand, almost 20 percent of Kool-Aid drinkers are Hispanic, and slightly more than 20 percent are African-American.
Gardenia Whole Wheat Bread
Gardenia redefines corporate social responsibility
Aside from making breads known for their freshness, good taste, softness, oven-baked aroma and nutritive value, Gardenia Bakeries Philippines, Inc. (GBPI) is also a staunch advocate of social development and “gives back to society” by contributing its resources for the welfare and development of Filipinos to uplift their quality of life.
Through these various CSR efforts focused on four areas like health, livelihood, education and environment, Gardenia redefines what corporate social responsibility (CSR) is all about.
Healthy people for a healthy nation
Gardenia’s “Daily Bread” program provides more than 10,000 loaves weekly to women and children and other marginalized sectors to help curb hunger and malnutrition, while the “Gardenia Nutrition and Wellness Tour” conducts free nutrition counselling in various offices to educate employees about the value of nutrition despite their busy work schedules and lifestyle. Aside from that, Gardenia’s School Nutri-Tour, which makes the rounds of various select schools, teaches kids on proper eating habits. Additionally, Gardenia employees often participate in medical and dental missions and donate blood to help save lives—and remain healthy in the process because of fresh blood in their bodies.
Gardenia also helps, through their “quick response” team called Gardenia E-CSR, victims of typhoons, fires or earthquakes in order to alleviate their sufferings, with the help of organizations like the Philippine National Red Cross, Department of Social Welfare and Development, law enforcement and military personnel, and even TV network foundations.
Teach them to fish
To “help teach man how to fish,” Gardenia launched its Territorial Distribution (TD) Franchise Program, targeting housewives and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who want a business of their own. The Pedicart program, meanwhile, pushes micro-entrepreneurship via a minimal investment but with good returns for those who want additional income. Internally, Gardenia also regularly holds soap making, candle making and other livelihood seminars that can help provide employees with supplemental income.
Street kids like the abandoned, abused or with criminal tendencies are also supported by Gardenia through the Tuloy sa Don Bosco Foundation, where they are taught the values of discipline through sports, skills training and education. Gardenia provides for their bread requirements, financial support, and even on-the-job training or possible employment to help them regain their confidence, rebuild their lives and become productive members of society.
Another beneficiary is the Girls’ Home, a temporary shelter for underprivileged young girls 3-16 years old who were abused, orphaned or abandoned and given the chance to regain hope and self-belief through learning activities. Aside from the weekly bread donation, Gardenia conducts a yearly outreach activity where residents are treated to a day of fun, food, games, presentations, plus school bags and fresh supplies.
Feeding the mind while young
Education is also vital for Gardenia. Its high-tech facility in Biñan, Laguna is a favorite tour destination among schools, professionals and community-based organizations. The plant tours showcase to its visitors this truly world-class baking facility that is fully automated where they can learn how modern baking is done in the country.
Genuine care for the environment
Lastly, Gardenia makes sure that its manufacturing processes do not harm Mother Earth. The company uses non-air pollutants in baking, treats waste water before discharge, and enjoins employees and plant visitors to observe recycling and segregation—all for environment’s sake.
“For Gardenia, CSR is not just a 3-letter acronym on paper. Our business is not just about making breads but also serving and enriching the lives of people in the community. We make sure our employees not just understand CSR and its value, but also they should take an important part in it to ensure continuity,” explains Simplicio Umali Jr., President and General Manager of Gardenia Bakeries, Philippines, Inc.
