It's So Tasteless

I have been taking so many shots recently using my recent phone. Regarding to my last post here on Mildly Infuriating, it is to get myself used to my phone. So As I have expected before, most of them are still bad but I am getting better at this.

Ok let's talk about one of the shots I have right now. Anyway do not expect them to be great!

This is a shot I took last week. An Avocado ice cream. Some would say that this is an Avocado Sundae, but the avocado they put there was a real fruit, a scooped avocado. We could call this sundae if both of them were ice cream.

Here is another angle on how this product looked like. double scoops of chocolate Ice cream, a wafer and avocado. I am getting used with this phone and I realize that the biggest weakness of this phone was the distance... It is very bad at close range photography.

Because I use Hive Suite, they cropped or downsize my photo automatically. So it's common if you find this one is a bit more blurry than the real shots, and I can assure you that there are already some lack of focus on the real ones.

Ok now the real reason why I put this one on Mildly Infuriating community...

This could be a good dessert at 1.2 USD . They used a real fruit there, so I would not mind about the taste regarding to the price. They would not use organic avocado so the taste would not be great. Again, that's not the issue.

The real issue or their biggest mistake was using mainstream famous fast moving consumer goods. The wafer was a tango wafer, a famous wafer here in Indonesia. From single bite, I was very sure it was Tango... because I had it at home too and I was so familiar with the taste.

The ice cream? Campina Ice cream, for the same reason, I had it at my fridge and even now I still have them in my fridge.

This is not coincidence, both of the brands are the top of mind of the goods. If you ask random people on street about their preferred Ice cream from any convenience store, their first top of the mind choice would be walls or Campina... About the wafer? definitely Tango, and the second one Khong Guan would be far left behind.

So this is why I do not understand what they are thinking about... You can not use mainstream FMCG on your cafe and expect people will enjoy it. When I tasted their ice cream, I felt like I was an idiot because I could just ate this at home, or made the same and bought it in my Tupperware box.

If they could not make it themselves, at least used non mainstream one... Do not let your customer know what it is and how it is made just from the first scoop!
