Turn of the Tide
They say a picture is worth a million words.
This one was discovered in a discount household store in Newyork.
So far we had only seen Indian stores selling stuff with prices printed in rupees. A non desi store selling Tide detergent for Rs 23 was, let’s just say, exciting.
(Just to clarify, these prices might be printed in rupees, but the beauty is that you pay in dollars, and the dollar price has no relation to the conversion rate)
God bless whoever thought up camera phones!
