Magic Powder

Lots of knockoffs in the Philippines. Fake Nikes, fake Louis Vuitton handbags, fake you name it!  Then there is appropriation of other companies logos or characters. Having a large cast of characters to choose from makes Disney especially vulnerable in this regard. All one has to do is slap a picture of a popular Disney Princess on their product and it is sure to sell. Like this Magic powder.

What does Magic Powder have to do with Elsa and Frozen? Is the powder supposed to be like shaved ice? Like snow? That would be weird because Olaf is hanging onto the hem of Elsa's garment as they ride off. Is she taking that singing and dancing snowman to the factory to be ground up into Magic Powder? Do you want to eat a snowman?

The ingredients are all sugar. There is no magic at all! What a gyp. Or maybe the magic is that if you share this candy with your sister you will be friends again? But Elsa is giving her too trusting sister Anna a rather devious and unfriendly look. Did Elsa poison her? Is this Magic Powder poison!?

Despite being only 5 pesos, a mere pittance, I did not buy this laughable product. Who knows what is really in this Magic Powder. Happy Star Food Manufacturing Marketing Corp. is listed as the distributor and they are also likely the maker. If you look them up you find the following:

Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) have arrested three illicit trade violators in three separate areas in Northern Mindanao. 

Suspects Ricardo Rabago Jr. and Melodina Sabala  of Gusa were separately held while in the act of selling 6,000 and 4,000 packs, respectively, of fake Mighty and Marvels cigarette brands in two different locations of Barangay Poblacion, San Fernando, Bukidnon. 

Aside from the packs, NBI agents also seized a sales invoice of the fake cigarettes issued by a certain Happy Star Food Manufacturing and Marketing Corp. to Rabago.

A food manufacturer that also manufactures fake cigarettes? In the same plant? Does it really matter if they manufacture them or are just the middle man? Why is this company allowed to be remain in business? The FDA and DTI should take their business permit and Let it Go.
