Swift Ready to Eat Carne Norte

Amazing how this country can “sachet” everything from toothpaste, shampoo, liquid detergents, shoe polish, and now corned beef??  And mind you, the new creation of Swift is that it is corned beef in a sachet PLUS it is READY-TO-EAT. This would be perfect if you are going on a camping trip or fighting in a war but under normal circumstances, I prefer my corned beef fried with garlic and onions please.

The sachet revolution that swept the Philippines is due to the fact that Filipinos (especially those in the lower economic segments) prefer small cash outlay and thus, FMCG companies’ solution is to re-pack their products in smaller sachets to accommodate this demand. Though this is not necessarily practical because it comes out more expensive if you compute price per gram.

Swift Ready to Eat Carne Norte comes in 60g (Swak Pack) to 150g with the former at only P10! Can you believe that you can eat a meal for only P10 and let’s say a cup of rice at P5!! Though I would expect that daily eating would eventually cause some damage to whatever innards due to high preservatives content but with the price, I can see how this can be a staple “back-up” food to be stored in the cupboard.
