A photocopy is a Xerox
Noodles are Maggi
Post it-s are 3M
Quality sound system is a Bose
Sunglasses are Ray-Ban
Santa is Red
Christmas is merry and new year is happy
(I had a friend who used to wish Marry Christmas and I asked
him if I should divorce the New Year 😉)
Mickey is a mouse
Donald was a Duck till one Trump came along
Bottled water is a Bisleri
Baby products are Johnson and Johnson
(maybe Asbestos now ☹)
If you drive fast you are a Schumacher
And these things change with time too
If you were a footballer in
60s and 70s, you were a Pele
In the 80s, a Maradona
Around the noughties, a Beckham
Now a Messi or Ronaldo
Like the song Knockin’ on Heaven’s door recalled
A Bob Marley or
A Eric Clapton or
Guns and Roses
Depending on your age!
And such conditioned reflexes make for this interesting game
– you can impress the ones who do not know about this.
- Think
of a number from 1 to 10.
- Multiply
that number by 9.
- If
the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together.
- Now
subtract 5.
- Determine
which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with
(example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.)
- Think
of a country that starts with that letter.
- Remember
the last letter of the name of that country.
- Think
of the name of an animal that starts with that letter.
- Remember
the last letter in the name of that animal.
- Think
of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter.
You can then ask them if they
are thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?
Drum roll and cue to jaw drop!
Please remember that it works only with English speaking
people. I tried it once on my Romanian fried and she started with Deutschland
for D and it was chaos!
