Giant Bounty Fresh chicken installations give motorists something to smile about

Traversing the usual EDSA traffic can easily turn travel into an irritating driving experience. And as the sea of red lights becomes the highlight of the day, motorists can’t help but to look for something that could ease their frustration.

EDSA fixtures that have people smiling as they drive by are giant, inflatable chicken installations courtesy of Bounty Fresh.

One of Bounty Fresh’s giant chicken installations located at EDSA-Magallanes (south bound) has brought smiles to motorists.

These towering, cute, and cuddly chicken giants have surprised and brought smiles to motorists and onlookers in SM North EDSA in Quezon City and in EDSA-Magallanes (south bound) where amused netizens have mostly captured images to share online.

Apart from serving as a respite from the usual glaring billboards along EDSA, the giant inflatable chicken installations also emphasizes the “Laking Farmfresh” thrust of Bounty Fresh. With the brand, customers are assured of superior-quality chickens that have been raised in clean, spacious, and well-ventilated hatcheries and farms.

These chicken giants also support the “Laking Farmfresh” concept that Bounty Fresh lives by, providing quality products that bring an extra fun surprise
With the giant chickens gaining positive traction among the public, motorists can’t help but wonder if there will be more inflatable chickens surprising more people along EDSA and other major thoroughfares.

Because regardless of how peculiar they may look, the Bounty Fresh installations have served as a welcome, refreshing sight to anyone stuck on the road.

Gearing up for this season’s feasts

When the months in the calendar start to end with “ber”, here in the Philippines, the mood quickly changes into a more festive one, as malls begin to play the old Christmas tunes that everybody loves, decors suddenly become very shiny, and soon enough Christmas items from the groceries pop up in bundles or in baskets. And it wouldn’t be long until parties start to flood company schedules instead of meetings and the much awaited Christmas vacation will just be around the corner.

The season brings a lot of people together— colleagues in the office who are in need of a break, old friends from way, way back, and the extended family that has grown bigger from the past year— and it is always a must that these gatherings are complemented by a big feasts. It is quite easy to ask for a caterer to do all the cooking for everybody, but Christmas is also a time for everyone who are talented in the culinary arts to show off some skill in the kitchen. Potlucks are good as well for the budget and everybody gets to have a share on what is going to be on the table, but cooking for a big crowd is still one tough feat.

Hosting a Christmas party or get-together is all a different challenge all together, especially when it comes to stocking up all the necessary ingredients for the feast. Playing Tetris in the refrigerator trying to fit in everything from meats, fruits, vegetable, and other ingredients could be a daunting task— not to mention getting food spoiled because of leaks and being too cramped together. Fortunately, the world’s leading consumer appliances manufacturer, Midea offers yet another home solution that would ease up the challenges in stocking up on everything that is needed for a feast - after all, its products are meant to be surprisingly friendly at home.

They have an array of refrigerators the suits everyone’s big needs for big space, especially this time of the year. They have a 19.4 cu ft Side by Side Refrigerator that can fit up 20 baskets of groceries, that’s more than enough groceries to feed at least two batches of a hungry crowd in a get-together. With that much space, all of the ingredients are assured to be kept safe and fresh before they go into the hot kitchen. And this refrigerator’s Multi-Airflow feature enables uniform cooling which protects food from sudden changes in temperature, keeping it fresh all throughout.

Its electronic control makes it easy to keep the refrigerator at a desired temperature, while being energy efficient, which cuts down electrical consumption by almost half— making it also cool with the budget too. Most of all, its stainless steel finish gives it a very stylish and elegant look, which could be a conversation starter with the guests at the party.

Midea has a version of this Side by Side Refrigerator which has a Multi-functional Dispenser that gives out ice water, ice cubes, and crushed ice. This makes it easier for everyone to get a cold glass of water or ice for their drinks, while the Home Bar on the refrigerators opposite side could take care of other beverages. Its Super Cooling and Super Freezing functions takes no time to keep ingredients cool and fresh while it churns out ice and chills beverages.

Midea’s 20.1 cu ft French Door Refrigerator on the other hand has more unique features that would definitely make it easier to stock up and keep all of their grocery items fresh in the fridge. It can also fit up to 20 baskets of groceries and cut down electrical consumption by half with its turbo inverter. It has the same Multi-airflow that ensures uniform cooling throughout the refrigerator with High Moisture Retention Technology that maintains an optimum humidity level to keep food fresh for a longer period of time.

Its Dual Cooling System has Smart Sensors that accurately controls the ideal temperature in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, while its Photosynthetic Preservation function uses UV light to promote photosynthesis and removes pesticides from fruits and vegetables, prolonging its lifespan in the fridge. And very much like its Side by Side Refrigerator counterpart, it has a stylish and elegant look with its stainless steel finish.

With all of these big and spacious refrigerators in your kitchen ready to take in everything that will be needed for a one big feast this season, Christmas parties, reunions, and get-togethers will be a lot easier to deal with especially with handling all the preparations for the food. Everyone can enjoy meals with the freshest ingredients thanks to Midea’s solution in keeping all of it fresh and crisp before cooking. And after all of the festivities are done, you can be sure that there will still be some space for leftovers which you can enjoy the next day.
