Pizza Hut management probably thought this was a joke...

That looks like it would go well with a bottle of mice wine.

Have to find an area where snake laws are lax. Here in CA you can't raise poisonous snakes.
Had to check the video again...and yes 1 guy sells 5mil usd of snakes a year. The small city has 30 million snakes being raised. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2qU8...e_gdata_player |
Good God they are advertising this pizza on youku. Someone notify pizzahut management this isn't a joke.

LOL, TIC.

On a related topic, I highly recommend the book "KFC in China", which explains how those guys got rolling, and ended becoming the largest restaurant chain in the country (by a huge margin). Unlike McDonalds, which prides itself on delivering consistent products globally, YUM likes to cater to local tastes, which means using local suppliers (i.e. far cheaper COGS until McDs became localized 10 years after entry). This strategy paid huge dividends for KFC (because Chinese love chicken), and worked pretty well for Pizza Hut (i.e. skimp on the sauce, and nobody would care) because the concept was such a luxury idea when it was first rolled out... it still retains some of this cache to this very day.
However, Taco Bell really was an epic fail during its brief existence: -no refried beans because their focus groups told them they were gross -they gave all of their dishes a bit of Shanghai flavor -margaritas that were basically straight tequila served at room temperature The vast majority of the expat community despised that place, and while we weren't the target market, most Chinese that I know would never contemplate the idea of going to a Mexican restaurant unless they went with foreigners first (e.g. Cantina Agave -- packed all the time, the patrons of which are now 70% Chinese, but certainly weren't in the beginning because expats liked it). |
I see the recent CCTV 45 day chicken broadcast as the start of Yum and Mcdonalds
demise in China. A push to remove multinationals is on the horizon. |

Given the predilection of the Chinese for selecting live creatures, I suppose I couldn't go the easy route and just ship frozen meat and skins over. Probably have to figure out how to get them over to China in one wriggling live piece....Snakes on a Plane! :eek: :D
