This one will still make you fat

Kung may tingi-tingi na gin sa Maynila, eh sa Tokyo rin tingi-tingi ang beer. A 135ml shot of beer!
A lot of things here are also sold in small quantities, but one big difference between our version of "tingi" and the Japanese version is the quality of packaging. It has also been said that the reason why "tingi-tingi" is prevalent in the Philippines is due to the shrinking peso, while in Tokyo, things are sold in small amounts due to the cramped living space, walang pag-lalagyan kasi. There are refrigerators here that have doors that open bothways, like you grab the left handle, the door swings open to your left, and vice-versa. I don't know if this is popular elsewhere, I am just amazed, why would anyone design something like this unless it is a necessity!


Isn't this a cutie?
