The latest Advances in the COVID-19 stance 

Recently, two siblings from Lahore developed a smartphone app that considers artificial intelligence to help patients diagnose the novel coronavirus. With a brief medical history and symptoms, the app can identify if the person is infected with COVID-19 or not. Talat, a student of software engineering, told in the news report.

Artificial Intelligence and Coronavirus

The AI tool can help detect coronavirus in patients without physical testing in the labs and hospitals. This technology is helpful for proper screening, tracking, and predicting current and future patients. As a result, the load on hospitals and diagnostic centers can be reduced with an increase in the infection rate. AI can help diagnose the patient without exposing the patient to the environment. This can be of great importance as this can lead to fewer chances of the patient infecting the people in his surrounding.

Further, it can predict the number of positive cases and death in any region.AI is helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 infected patients and their proper health monitoring. A few countries such as China are working on a similar AI system for coronavirus diagnosis. However, the data or AI framework is not available as open source.

When Power Meets Speed: POCO Launches Two Flagship Phones “The Real Beast” POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro

Lahore, Pakistan, 4th April, 2021 – POCO Pakistan today launched two flagship smartphones – The Real Beast POCO F3 and the new and soon-to-be-coveted POCO X3 Pro.

Sporting the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 870 5G Mobile Platform*, POCO F3 immediately grabs attention as the brand’s most commanding device to date. POCO F3 is also equipped with a 6.67″ E4 AMOLED DotDisplay with 120Hz refresh rate, as well as the Dolby Atmos® audio**. Powerful yet slim and light, POCO F3 is comfortably in the league with high-end flagships.

POCO X3 Pro maintains the top-notch features that made its predecessor a prime choice for hardcore gamers and techies, but boasts an even better performance with one of the most powerful 4G mobile platforms currently on the market: the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 860 Mobile Platform. With upgraded speed, storage capacity, and RAM option, POCO X3 Pro takes gaming experience to a level unparalleled at this price point.

“As of Feb 28th, 2021, POCO has shipped a total of 13 million smartphones since the initial launch of POCO F1 in 2018.

And specifically, global shipments of POCO X3 NFC alone have surpassed 4 million units within 7 months,” said Kevin Qiu, Head of POCO Global. “This time, we will continue POCO’s success by bringing exactly what you need, and MORE.”

“We are excited to support the launch of two amazing new products, POCO F3 and POCO X3 Pro, featuring the Snapdragon 870 and 860 respectively. These platforms are designed to deliver a reliable and powerful connectivity experience, elevated game-play, and brilliant camera capabilities to support premium mobile experiences for users around the world, ” said Kedar Kondap, Vice President of Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

POCO F3 – The Real Beast

Beast performance: Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 870 5G Mobile Platform

POCO F3 plays in the big leagues with the brand’s most powerful device yet, powered by the Snapdragon 870 5G Mobile Platform. The device features an upgraded Qualcomm® Kryo™ 585 CPU prime core clock speed of up to 3.2 GHz, which is an industry-leading prime core clock speed. Along with the ultra-fast Qualcomm® Adreno™ 650 GPU, POCO F3 delivers superb game-play experience. Paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, the flagship setup guarantees faster read-write speeds for multitasking. The boosted performance is embodied in its high efficiency 7nm processor as well as the LiquidCool Technology 1.0 Plus which allows the device to deliver sustained peak performance.

POCO F3 meets all the latest benchmarks in connectivity, sporting a Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System for the lightning fast 5G connectivity* with support for the majority of global network bands. The device also supports Wi-Fi 6, putting it comfortably in league with high-end smartphones.

Beast 6.67″ AMOLED display & premium design

POCO F3’s 120Hz high refresh rate provides unprecedented smoothness when gaming on the large 6.67″ AMOLED display. This beast also features one of the tiniest dots in the industry at just 2.76mm.  Additionally, the 360Hz touch sampling rate and the fine-tuned touch algorithm allows the phone to respond extremely fast to the touch of a fingertip. The MEMC technology, adding up to 60fps, further enhances the smoothness of video content.

The HDR10+ certified display, along with the True Display and True Color features, provides a truly eye-pleasing viewing experience with vibrant, highly accurate color.  More than that, the upgraded E4 material brings the screen’s peak brightness to 1300 nits, and helps reduce power consumption by 15% compared to the last-generation E3 material.

Crafted from a non-slippery material and measuring only 7.8mm thin and 196g in weight, the device feels comfortable and secure in the hand. At the same time, the Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 on both front and back gives the phone sturdy protection.

Beast entertainment with Dolby Atmos, AI triple camera setup and more

Rocking a dual speaker setup with a bottom main speaker and a secondary speaker at the top, POCO F3 produces rich, detailed sound. POCO F3 is the brand’s first device to enable Dolby Atmos**, leveling up your sound for a thoroughly impressive audio experience for videos, music, and games in the Dolby Atmos format, through both headphones and built-in speakers.

“We, at Dolby, are looking forward to the launch of the POCO F3 series, because not only are we thrilled to extend the extraordinary Dolby Atmos experience to smartphones from POCO, but we are also proud of the spectacular work done by POCO in enabling a world-class entertainment experience on the POCO F3,” said Mahesh Balakrishnan, Vice President of Audio Business, Consumer Entertainment Group at Dolby Laboratories.

POCO F3’s AI triple camera setup and myriad of crafty, innovative camera features help unleash photography skills. The rear cameras consist of a 48MP main camera with 1.6μm 4-in-1 large pixel, an 119° ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP telemacro camera that supports 3cm – 7cm autofocus. This finely tuned combo allows for stunning high-resolution and detailed images in lightning time, greatly improving the camera’s versatility. The 20MP front camera also supports Night Mode selfie.

Unlike most of the dual-mic smartphones, POCO F3 has a triple-microphone setup and comes with Audio Zoom feature. When shooting a video, the dedicated third microphone on the rear allows the device to “zoom in” on the sound along with the image, capturing clear audio of far-away scenes and considerably improving sound reception during filming. Meanwhile, the X-axis linear haptic motor provides short, crisp vibrations to complete the flagship-level entertainment experience.

POCO F3 gets its power from no ordinary battery. The 4,520mAh (typ) battery can be powered up at lightning speed thanks to the Middle Middle Tab (MMT) technology, which routes electric current into the device more efficiently. With the 33W in-box fast charger, the device can be charged to 100% in just 52 minutes***.

POCO F3 comes in two colors, Arctic White, Night Black, with two storage variants – 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB.

6GB+128GB: Recommended retail price at 57,999 via Daraz.pk, Mistore.pk, OLX Mall, AirKart, Corecart, Apptak (available online only for a limited time.)

Video Of Syra & Shahroz Shooting For Their Film Goes Viral

Image Source: HubDaily

Syra Yousuf and Shahroz Sabzwari have been under the media radar ever since their divorce. When the dust was about to settle down, it announced that both are coming together onscreen for a film. The production of the film was announced before they got divorced. However, they are back on the sets, and we will be able to see them together very soon.

Recently, a video of Syra and Shahroz is doing rounds on social media. In the video, both Syra and Shahroz were seen working on their film together. At the same time, we can not imagine how it must be for them to be back together after working together as a couple on several movies and films. The public has a lot to say about them.

The Response for Syra and Shehroz

As always, netizens had a lot to say about them. At the same time, some swooned over how hard it must be for them to work together. Others attacked their personal lives and talked about how it is totally immoral to be back together on screen after their divorce.

The Final Verdict

When it comes to life, we have to survive both the good and the bad times. While it is hard for some people to live after the tragic incidents, others find the courage to move on with their lives. Syra has shown us how important it is to get back on with your life for yourself and for the sake of those around your family.

She handled this story of her life with grace, but what about us? Isn’t it about time we stop moral policing them? Because at the end of the day, they are individuals with their own needs and wants. Posting comments on social media and criticizing them will only make it difficult for them to move on.

While some of the brand new vehicles may not be cheap, they are definitely worth the drive and the investment. Toyota cars are often seen lasting decades on end, without so much as a scratch on the engine.

The Era Of SUVs:

The Toyota Corolla Crossover SUV is now finally on its way here. If we look at the specifications, the variants will come packed with a 1.8 litre engine. That’s quite a powerful one, keeping in mind all the horsepower. This four cylinder engine combines with a 168hp motor. The transmission will be e-CVT.

With a weight of 1385kg, this is quite a lightweight vehicle. Bigger SUVs usually go for more than 2000kg and this can easily be pushed by one person. All of the variants will have Anti-lock Braking System as well as hill start assist. There are three variants expected to come to us, but more details of the variants themselves still remain to be noted.

Innovations Everywhere:

This is quite a new approach for Toyota as they usually stick to one type or the other. It seems that they too are set to join the emerging era of crossover vehicles. While crossover vehicles are always on the edge of being experimental, they certainly hold up to their features. This new one will be no different in it’s robustness and capability.

We hope that Toyota continues to reveal more and more innovative ideas. This seems it just might be one of many to be shown to the world. Additionally, it is a vehicular invention and those are in a high number these days. Who knows, maybe we begin to see the vehicle dominating the roads in the next few years!

While there are many advancements being made in technology, there are also certain form of setbacks. We cannot hope to move forward if we are not expecting to step back every once in a while. Despite there being so much focus on technology, some things can occasionally slip past our eye. It seems that Apple might drop the iPhone shipment due to a certain setback.

While Apple is not having as much trouble here, there is some form of it present. However, there has been so much development that some of the issues can be overlooked. Apple has had an impressive track record in 2020 and this year is not expected to be any different.

Apple Silently Moving:

Apple usually follows a strict pattern. For a lot of the year, it may move about quietly in the shadows. You may hear a piece of news here or there. Sometimes, you may see an intentional leak by the company. This is to let the audience know that the show is not over yet. It is to keep the hope alive and the hype going.

Suddenly, when everyone least expects it, Apple comes forward with a lot of news. We are often taken aback by the pace at which Apple progresses. The company started from scratch and now stands as one of the biggest titans of the industry.

Ready To Strike Soon:

It seems that there is a chips shortage in the market. These are the chips that are utilized inside smartphones. The ones we are talking about refer specifically to the ones being employed in iPhone 12. There is a chop shortage for the iPhone 12. Due to this, Apple might drop the iPhone shipment. Foxconn, the leader supplier, predicts that the shortage could go further into 2022.

While the company did not mentioned Apple by name, it is quite apparent who they are talking about. Apple is the number one client of the company. Since the iPhone 12 has become immensely popular, this problem presents itself as being quite persistent. It is also being said that Apple might face some issues due to Samsung’s supply chain issues.

Brace Yourself For Apple’s Entry:

While this may be a certain form of setback, it is definitely not one that cannot be resolved. We hope that the company continues to rise through the ranks and makes itself known high and wide. Steve Jobs seems to have cemented himself a robust legacy. He would have been proud, had he seen the state of the company today.

While there is a known shortage of chips, this might just affect other places too. This is not a place that is only affecting Apple, but stretches to other technological domains too. We have much to see with Apple as news develops. There is a much awaited release of iPhone 13 that people are looking forward to. Soon, Apple will continue to leak small pieces of information as the year progresses.

Top 5 Unsolved Mysteries The World Is Clueless About

unsolved mysteries

Mysteries of the world never ceases to amaze one if they were to sit back and think about it. Well, if you were to think about it, everything would come off as a mystery; birth of a baby, the blooming of a flower, changing of day to night and back to the day. And so, it is crucial to operationalize the definition of mystery. For this article, we will be using it as a phenomenon that has not yet had a factual scientific explanation. Here are some unsolved mysteries of the world that most people are still not aware of. If you can think of more, do let us know.

1. Pyramid of Giza

Pyramids themself are a mystery considering they are structures that could not be made from tools available in the times they were constructed. So the pyramid of Giza is a mystery within a mystery, really. The pyramid that had stone weighing tonnes were loaded on top stones that weighed tonnes. And people right now can not understand how the humans of those times managed it; some like to believe there was alien involvement. But the mystery is the void in the center of the pyramid. At the center, there is a space, 150 feet long, and people cannot pinpoint what it contains.

2. Doppelganger

At one point in time, there are seven people with similar faces. So basically, you have six look-alikes in the world! But does that mean if there are 7 billion people globally, there are only 1 billion different faces? This mystery reminds me of The Princess Switch!

3. Mohenjodaro

A mystery in our very own backyard! Mohenjodaro is located in Pakistan. It is one of the oldest Indus Valley civilizations that existed 4500 years ago. Moreover, from the tools and the lifestyle uncovered until now, it tells you that they were an advanced society in the times they existed. What makes them a mystery is their whereabouts. They, it seems, disappeared, leaving all their belongings as it is.

4. Atlantis

The lost city that sunk underwater and kept functioning, at least that’s how the mystery goes. Now either the residents were top scientists who knew how to make oxygenated masks, or they too were aliens (because that is the only justification to everything unimaginable, isn’t it?) I mean, it could be magic too… hello, Salem witches!

5. Blackhole

Did you know that scientists wanted to see what is on the other side of a black hole? Something that got its name because it looked empty and just black. So they positioned their equipment towards the black hole and were able to photograph a very negligible, tiny portion of the black hole. Did you know what they saw in it? Gazillion stars! Galaxies.

So that makes me wonder just how many possibilities for aliens there could be. Not that we have explored all the galaxies in the universe, but if the black holes themselves are that vast, just how many more galaxies and universes there are at one point. It also leads to a hypothesis that being sucked in a black hole might not mean the end for universes.

Mysteries do intrigue us. They keep life interesting. And we can only hope to find answers to these mysteries in our lifetime. But will we? That is a question better left for the scientists to answer.

If we look at just the one company here, it seems that Mercedes’s new ad has a lot to show us. The Mercedes advertisement is portraying something quite interesting.

Advertisment is often done with the intention of spreading the word. Whether it is talking about a trend or a rising product, ads are extremely useful. When it comes to automobiles, ads are often used as ways to hype up the audience. If you watch an ad on the latest Mercedes vehicle, you may just be more excited when the car comes into production.

Mercedes In History:

Mercedes is known as one of the most historical cars ever. The brand has seen all kinds of era, from the prohibition era, all the way up to both the world wars. It has remained string throughout the century and has only continued to rise above all. The success of the company goes not only to Mercedes himself but his wife, Bertha Benz, too.

She is known for making a perilous journey across the plains to her parents house, in an automobile. The shop where she stopped for repair is known as the world’s first gas station. You might remember her from the tribute that Mercedes Benz brand portrayed. So what does this new advertisement contain? What is Mercedes trying to convey to us?

A New Renewable Advertisement:

The ad starts off with a couple of nature shots. The trees are shown and they are portrayed beautifully. Then we see hints of houses, more trees and some roads. It seems, from the video, that a lot of wind is blowing in the region. It is blowing clothes off their lines and it’s stopping people from doing their day to day chores. The wind keeps getting stronger and stronger until text appears on the screen.

This text dictates that we have spent a large amount of time going against the wind. This hints at the concept that maybe now they will move with the wind. The shot changes to one of a rotating windmill. Then the ad shows the vital text. It says that Mercedes intends to power its factories in renewable energy soon. This might just be related to wind power or solar, it can be any of the renewable ones.

Check out the ad here:

Innovative Advertisement:

This seems like quite an interesting way to introduce one’s production strategy. It shows that industries might just be moving away from fossil fuels and towards renewable sources. This is a necessary step for a clean energy future and cars themselves aren’t the only places needing renewable.

We hope that Mercedes goes quite far in its attempt to move towards renewable. It is definitely a brilliant strategy and others are sure to follow suite soon. Hurray for the brand and its future!

This Muslim Couple’s ‘Haq Meher’ Story Is Winning Hearts

Image Source: Twitter

Weddings are often a scene for immense happiness. It brings one quite a lot of joy to see two people decide to spend their lives together. With marriage, come certain rituals too. Where we are planning out the festivities, we have to make sure that said rituals are also followed. An Iranian doctor couple has set new levels of selflessness in their marriage ceremony!

When we perceive a wedding, we imagine a place where family members are gathering. If we look at the delicacy that goes within handling a marriage, we may come up with a lot of stuff. It is no easy feature to navigate through life but it becomes slightly easier with someone. So, how is it that this doctor couple has set new levels? What is it that they have done to make an act selfless? Let us dive a bit into the details of the ceremony.

Signing Papers:

As opposed to the heading here, there is a lot that goes within the marriage ceremony apart from signing papers. Within Islamic marriage ceremonies, the concept of ‘Haqmehr’ is a vital thing. It is something that sits within the heart of a marriage and it is quite important.

A ceremony would not be complete were there an absence of Haqmehr. Haqmehr is an amount of assets paid or promised to a Muslim woman upon marriage. The amount of the assets is all based on the man’s income. It serves as a means of financial stability for a woman in the marriage.

It can be a range of items. There has been news where the woman was gifted 100 books, on her reading list, as Haqmehr. Similarly, in this Iranian wedding, we have come across something quite extraordinary. Since both the people, in the marriage, are doctors, they have decided to split the Haqmehr. However, what exactly is the Haqmehr?

Selflessness Times Infinity:

According to the terms which are set, the Haqmehr is both of them performing 313 operations for free. She has said that the husband is not going to be the only one to pay Haqmehr but that both of them will perform these operations. This is one of the highest acts of selflessness that one can do. Not only is she dividing the Haqmehr for them both, she is also placing her passion above all else. This passion would be the need to help people.

Check this out!

It is definitely a piece of news that deserves attention. A lot of people could take this form of marriage as a lesson. It doesn’t mean that any other form of Haqmehr would become void. However, this is a graceful, selfless act.

Fun fact: The number of operations is 313. It cannot be a coincidence that the bride selected this number. Three hundred and thirteen is actually the number of Surahs in the Holy Quran. The writer of this article finds this to be extremely wholesome and brilliant!

10 Movies Married Men can Relate to!

10 Movies Married Men can Relate to!

Ever heard of the saying “Shaadi ka ladoo, jo khai woh pachtai, jo naa khai woh bhi pachtai”? Bet every single one of you can surely relate to it. Those of us who are married, we know how tough life can get at times, for us who are still saved, you will know soon.

So lads, to our sacrifices, I dedicate this list of movies all of us married men can relate to, cheers!

1. The scent of a Woman

So the lead role is played by a blind guy who thinks he knows what makes the ladies tick and ensures that they are flattered and pampered at all times. The Mrs, the Ma, The Saas,  The Saali can well testify to that. The trials and tribulations of an innocent married man.

2. What Women Want

The story of a know-it-all ladies man who thinks he knows it all. In the end, he succumbs to the real masters of this universe. We all have been through those bold lines, “you know I think you’re right ” or “Han yar tum hi sahi thee mein ghalath thaa.” Join the bandwagon, lad.

3. Godfather

We men have that one fatherly, motherly figure we turn to in times of duress. Peer babas and all that jazz. I can still hear that serene voice telling me “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse” during past tensions or current affairs (as in contemporary times, what did you think where this was going)

4. Dil Chatha Hai

Hmm, don’t we reminisce those glory years where boys were boys and troubles didn’t have a definition? The ultimate bromance, a particular time out wanted from Queen and country and a lot of other things.

5. Meet the Fockers

Seriously, we just look up to our dad’s. One is quite enough. When our significant other father comes along in ala Deniro mode, well, that just spells trouble. Either we do the Houdini act of just avoiding the man, or we go out of character in trying to impress him. Both ways end up in disaster. We aren’t just right up there for his princess. You see where I’m going with this.

6. The Perfect Murder

Admit it. Yes / No. It can be vice versa, though I would hate to admit it. Can’t remember, amnesia sets in.

7. Mr & Mrs. Smith

Well, this one just wins it for us. The ultimate fantasy of playing special agents. The espionage, adventure, and other severe traumas. One would dream of this all their lives. Definitive. And extremely relatable to our species. The traveling and locations are just out of this world.

8. Tin Cup

The best feel-good movie for us when we are at the worst ebb. It shows us that we can look good and come back from a thrashing, a bad hair day, or just a roller coaster month. Mainly downhill. For all those who have faced the brunt, this is a must-watch mate; there’s still hope out there.

9. Monster-in-Law

Just like in Meet the Faulkers, the other side of evil.  Jane Fonda plays Cruella to JLo’s character, but let’s be honest, haven’t you been down that road and faced “beta yay to koi baat nai huii” or “usko dekho kahan say kahan paunch gaya hay.” As if, but yes, right mostly.

10. John Wick

Getting towards the emotional part of it, we feel that we are inherently the sole saviors of Planet Our Spouses. The minutes of heartbreak for them lands us in superhero mode. Extreme actions on the most trivial of things. We go all out, mostly all the way, nearly every time—defenders of her majesty’s slightest teardrop—the black suits by Keanu must-haves.

Which other movies can you relate to?

These haunted places in Lahore will seriously test your bravery. If you have any interest in the occult, go through this list of the most haunted places in Lahore!

1. Sheikhupura Fort

The fort was built during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The Emperor assigned the job of constructing the Fort to Sikandar Moeen on his hunting trip to Hiran Minar in 1607AD.

This fort also emerged during the consolidation of Sikh Raj in Punjab. According to Ihsan H. Nadiem, a veteran archaeologist and historian, before the Sikhs took over power, Sheikhupura Fort served as a hiding place for bandits looting the countryside.

The fort is, however, at the precipice of crumbling and collapsing. It is now littered with vandalism and garbage, not being preserved any longer and closed for public. It is said no one wants to go there because the spirits of the Maharanis still live there.

2. Shakuntala’s Room, Lahore College Women’s University

There is a legend that during the time of the British Raj, a Hindu woman named Shakuntala hung herself from a tree branch. This tree was erect where LCWU stands today, and there is a room exactly where the tree was. The British cut the tree and covered the roots with concrete, but within a week, the tree was grown again.

People say that Shakuntala’s spirit haunts that room of LCWU, and it never is occupied.

3. DHA Phase 3

DHA phase 3 was barren and empty for a long time before it started filling up with houses. People have spread stories about there being a vast number of Jinns residing there in the trees. When the trees are cut for the houses to be built, they get upset. They then haunt the people living inside to the extent that they become willing to sell the house and shift!

4. Gulberg Area Lahore

At a home in Gulberg, witnesses have often reported that a man in white clothes (apparently cricket gear) appears from time to time. He disappears when approached, but has never been known to cause harm. His silhouette has been seen by many over the years.

5. The Basement of Fatima Memorial College 

The basement of the building itself used to be a prison for women before partition. Several women and children have died there. Legend has it that their voices can be heard at night, they can often be seen too, and many things are rearranged repeatedly. All avoid the basement.

6. Moti Masjid, Lahore

This masjid used to be for the kings and emperors during the Mughal Era. The mosque got this name because of its pearl structure. It is believed that the mosque has a large community of Jinnat who reside inside. These jinns are also said to be married to many humans with whom they have off-spring as well.

The mosque is closed for the public, yet people say they often see multitudes of people praying inside. Who could they be?

Burger King released a notification yesterday, on the first of April that it will be launching chocolate whopper and nuggets. Weird, awkward, disgusting, interesting, all or one of these thoughts must have come to your mind, no? But you must have also thought about how this could definitely be an April Fool prank given the date of the news.

Chocolate Whopper

So the brand’s Singapore branch has announced that they will be releasing the new burger. And people started making speculations about whether this is an April fool prank or not. Considering normally pranks are taken to be the real deal and brands have to clarify that it was just an April joke, the situation was reversed. This time Burger King Singapore had to formally announce that this was no prank.

https://www.facebook.com/BurgerKingSG/posts/10159297383551774

As it turns out, this is actually possible. In 2018, it was Burger King UK who had launched Chocolate Whopper for a limited time.

Burger King Singapore

Considering this is one of those products that does not get customers all the time, it can only be a short-time deal. And so, Burger King Singapore is also releasing it for a mere 15 days; from April 1st to April 15th. Moreover, this time it won’t be just Chocolate Whopper but also chocolate nuggets. The nuggets will come with fudge dip. There will also be chocolate fudge.

The customers can order the new products from the Burger King app or their in-store digital kiosks. It will cost them $6.40. If they choose to get regular size coke and fries with it, then it will cost them $7.90.

What is the Chocolate Whopper made off?

Well, if you have seen the Burger King UK’s video, you will have seen that it does have some of the usual burger king ingredients. So for instance, it still has a flame-grilled beef patty, onions, and tomatoes. You will, however, not find pickles, mayonnaise, or ketchup. And it will have a layer of chocolate sauce.

The chocolate nuggets

To get the chocolate nuggets, you will have to order a Nugget dipper. This costs 3.90 Singaporean dollars. You will get six pieces of chicken nuggets. It will be accompanied by a chocolate fudge swirl dip.

When the people in Singapore order through the brand’s app, they will also be able to avail themselves of an exciting offer. According to that, they will receive Mashed Up Fries for free when they buy a Chocolate Whopper. This too comes with chocolate fudge sauce.

So did you buy it yet that this is no prank?
