Just to remind you about NBK’s annual walkathon. This year it’s on Saturday March 23rd, and registration is open till Thursday March 21st.

It’s basically a walking race with 4 age categories each for men, women, and children. The distance is 6 kms for women, and 8 kms for men. Kids will have fun and sporting activities, plus the race itself, in the Green Island.

Registration is held at NBK’s tent just before The Scientific Center in Salmiya. It’s one of the biggest sporting events in Kuwait, and is usually a very fun and exciting day.

This year, KDD celebrates its 50th anniversary, or Golden Jubilee. And how do we celebrate this historic occasion? By banning their products in co-ops, and replacing them with Saudi ones.

Shortage of KDD products in Co-ops

December 9, 2012 by buzfairy 5 Comments

The Co-Op union is in dispute with KDD again, and has banned some or all of its products. KDD replied back that it hasn’t increased its prices in 5 years.

I’m not sure who’s right here. KDD is a large corporation and it wouldn’t be making such a statement if it wasn’t true. Besides, the co-op union has no right to ban products from consumers. Let the consumer decide what price they feel OK with.

In any case, there’s a bunch of other places that sell KDD products, like TSC and LuLu Hyper. Check the above ad for the list. In addition, you can order what you want from their free home delivery service via Tel. #1802277.

Twinkies is dead, Hostess goes belly up

November 17, 2012 by buzfairy 1 Comment

Hostess, the maker of Twinkies and CupCakes, announced its bankruptcy. The Co. is shutting down operations after more than 80 years in the baking business.

Their chocolate cupcakes are my most favorite dessert. It hasn’t sold in Kuwait since pre-invasion, but I still get them from my friends in Saudi Arabia and from American camps in Kuwait.

I’m bummed by the news, and I’m sure Twinkie lovers are even more depressed than I am. Hostess is a stable of american foods, just like Kraft and Nabisco. It’s a sad day to see it go.

This means you can now transfer your mobile number between different phone operators in Kuwait. The news is quoted by Al-Rai newspaper, so it should at least be a bit credible. We’ll have to wait (a few days) and see if all this is true, coz this news just sounds too good to be (this easily) true.

Ramadan gift from VIVA

August 1, 2012 by buzfairy 1 Comment

I received a beautiful box of chocolates from VIVA today, filled with different shapes of golden chocolates. The chocolates were in a huge Arabic Coffee cup (فنجان قهوة عربي), adorned with ancient Arabic calligraphy.

The chocolates are from my favorite chocolate place in Kuwait, Kakao. That made VIVA’s gift even more great.

As you can see, the box is still closed shut, on account of us still fasting. But believe you me, Kakao’s chocolate is the best. Can’t wait for fe6oor time to start digging in.

Thanks VIVA for the nice gift.
