Burger King Pranks McDonald’s with an Epic Offer for Fans!

The Whopper Detour

Burger King and McDonald’s are known to be the biggest rivals in the history of fast-food! Both dominating brands have time and time again taken a dig at one another or have trolled their competitor.

This time around, Burger King was the one to make an entire campaign around a new marketing strategy called ‘The Whopper Detour’ and as suggested, yes, McDonald’s plays a huge part in it.

It all started when the Whopper king tweeted on its official Twitter handle saying- ‘brb going to McDonalds’

McDonalds ‘Goddess-like Waitress’ Takes over the Internet

Lots of BK fans were a little confused about that in the world was happening. Some thought that the account was hacked by a McDonald’s fan whereas others were curious to see where this was going.

Soon, the brand put everyone’s confusion to rest after officially announcing their new campaign- the Whopper Detour!

The catch is, meat-lovers can get their favourite Whoppers at the cost of just one penny, from McDonald’s!

That’s right. The fast-food giant has rolled out a head-turning strategy to promote its new BK app.

All you have to do is follow these instructions and voila! The Whopper is yours for just a penny!

Burger King Just Trolled McDonald’s in an Epic Twitter War!

BK says FCB New York approached it with the premise about a year ago.

“We love ideas that when the idea gets to us we say ‘how the heck are we going to pull this off?'” said Marcelo Pascoa, BK’s global head of brand marketing.

Nearly 75% of all Americans live within a 3-mile radius of at least one McDonalds outlet. There were more than 14,000 McDonald’s restaurants and roughly 7,200 Burger King restaurants in the U.S in 2017, according to data from Technomic.

To make things more interesting, Burking Kind also shared a print ad with the McDonalds’ sign to read “Billions Swerved” instead of “Billions Served, showing the BK King making the snarky change.

The franchised worked with Waze to make an ad that appears when one’s car stops near a McDonald’s. And an online video promoting the limited-time deal shows actors trying to redeem the offer at the McDonald’s drive-thru, where their orders are met with confusion from McDonald’s staff.

Have you purchased your Whopper at McDonald’s yet?

Consequently, various publications came forward to interview his second wife. Faysal Quraishi became the first host to invite the newlyweds on his morning show. So much so, the episode is now trending at No.1 on Youtube.

It is no secret that Aamir Liaquat has received a lot of backlash over his second marriage and the hate brigade shows no signs of slowing down.

Aamir Liaquat’s Second Marriage: Faysal Quraishi Defends the Televangelist

Here’s What Has Been Happening!

It all started when his daughter from first marriage, Tuba Aamir Liaquat took to social media and revealed that her family is torn apart after her father’s second marriage.

Her confession caused a huge controversy. Aamir Liaquat was accused of cheating on his wife and Syeda Tuba Anwar was blamed for breaking a home.

Following his daughter’s post, the politician cleared the air that he still provides for his first wife and children.

https://youtu.be/vx-pTIlBLcw

Meanwhile, Tuba Aamir also took to Twitter to silence all the gossip-mongers.

RUMORS & GOSSIP IS TEMPORARY, OUR MARRIAGE IS PERMANENT

Yesterday, the couple made their first appearance together in the ARY’ Zindagi’s Morning Show. During their heart-to-heart with Faysal Quraishi, the couple revealed quite a lot about their relationship.

What’s more, the couple urged keyboard warriors to stop interfering in their personal life and spreading malicious rumors about their marriage on the web.

Soon after the show, Dua took to Twitter again and stated that whatever has been buzzing on social media is true and all are her own words.

Her cryptic tweet indeed said it all!

However, her followers were quick to grasp her message!

It is reported that Tooba and Aamir developed a strong camaraderie while working together. Meanwhile, the scholar’s first wife, Bushra remained unaware of the relationship.

Aamir Liaquat and Bushra have two kids, a son named Ahmed Aamir, and daughter Dua Aamir.

ScoreLine: Reviving Cricket Publication in Pakistan

By
Omair Alavi
-

At a time when the print medium was losing its readership all around the world, Pakistan’s largest cricket magazine in English ‘The Cricketer Pakistan’ vanished without a trace.

The magazine was unable to make a successful transition from print to digital and that’s one of the many reasons why in the age of digital media, Pakistan had no English language magazine representing everyone’s favorite game – Cricket.

scoreline

That’s when the former Sub Editor of the now defunct magazine Shoaib Ahmed along with Media Executive Muhammad Rahimtoola decided to carry the flag forward and come up with a magazine that brought the good, the bad and the ugly side of Pakistan Cricket to readers who could read it both online and in print form. 

“Our vision was to create a platform for the entire cricketing community of the country, who we know follow the sport relentlessly.”

It was three years ago when Muhammad Rahimtoola and Shoaib Ahmed launched the magazine and since then, it has kept the tradition of critical analysis, investigative journalism and carrying match reports alive.

With Pakistan Cricket team on the rise, it was assumed that ScoreLine will only cover the good things that were associated with the Pakistan Cricket Board, however the passionate journalists and analysts writing for ScoreLine vented out their concerns in a civilized manner, pointing out the many wrongs the officials of the Board considered right, making it a mouthpiece for all those who believed in finding out the faults in Pakistan Cricket and steering it on the right path.

Ramiz Raja, Former Test Captain, and PCB CEO:

“The publication keeps one up to speed with International and National Cricket. It is a great initiative especially with regards to sports journalism.”

Nadeem Omar (Owner Quetta Gladiators and President KCCA):

It’s really nice to see a quality publication coming this far in the last couple of years. Hope it keeps adding value to the world with insightful writings.

What ScoreLine does is more or less the same thing The Cricketer Pakistan did way back in the 1970s till the dawn of the new millennium; in fact it was a challenge for Muhammad Rahimtoola who was venturing into print whilst being simultaneously associated with the TV and Digital Industry for a long time.

For Shoaib Ahmed, it was a return to familiar surroundings as his last assignment was serving as Manager Media Affairs of Pakistan Cricket Board.

The experience of working under the legendary Cricket scribes Omar Kureishi in Sportsweek and Gul Hameed Bhatti in The Cricketer Pakistan helped him understand the basics of the trade.

He not only launched the Bi-monthly magazine that covers the game from grassroots to international level; their panel of contributors for both print and web includes former Test Cricketers Asif Iqbal and Rashid Latif as well as senior journalists including Richard Heller, Bill Ricquier, Chishty Mujahid, Asif Sohail, Shahid Hashmi, Peter Oborne and Peter Miller whose writings have helped the readers in shaping their opinions.

The website is an amalgamation of foreign as well as local scribes, exclusive interviews with the stars of today and tomorrow as well as detailed analysis of matches is what clicked with the audience.

The content includes news, ball-by-ball coverage of all Test, One-day and T20 international matches and features written by some of the world’s best cricket writers. ScoreLine also plans on moving to the digital platform in order to make their website the main platform for cricket lovers in Pakistan and around the world.

Moin Khan, Former Pakistan Captain:

Score Line has set a great standard and benchmark in sports journalism over the last couple of years. It is amazing to show that this stands amongst the best at international level. The extensive list of contributors from around the world truly gives Pakistan huge standing and respect. Wish all well ahead and more.

Wajid Shamsul Hasan, Former High Commissioner Of Pakistan to the UK:

The publication is the best in Cricketing journalism from our part of the world. I have noticed lovers of the game here waiting for it anxiously. It is full of information, historic records, and outstanding performances.

The advisory board comprises of former PCB Chairman Arif Ali Khan Abbasi, renowned commentator Chishty Mujahid, former Test Captain Rashid Latif, and advertising giant Javed Jabbar.

In its 4th year now, ScoreLine is responsible for educating its audience about Pakistan’s most loved sport; be it, Cricketers of their followers, the men at the helm or those whose opinions matter, ScoreLine is the first choice for all.

You may not like the analysis and criticism but you can’t deny its importance in keeping the fans of Cricket connected to the game.

We will spend money on the youth and not on laptops. I will work with the prime minister to empower youth to become independent

PM Khan shared that the support he received from the country has brought him into power. Therefore, he wants to do everything in his power to help them and so something special.

Jobs in Germany for Pakistanis: 3 Million Vacancies Available!

By

Pakistan Foreign Affair officials have released a notification to promote skilled labor at a large scale in Germany.

This comes after the country relaxed its immigration policy to attract highly skilled migrants from abroad (including Pakistan).

The recent amendments in the immigration policy of Germany will allow millions of skilled labors to work in Europe’s biggest economy, provided that they can speak German.

Google’s New Feature Will Help You Find Jobs!

Formulation of a specific strategy by the government of Pakistan can help attain maximum benefit from this opportunity.

In September 2018, 338,200 high skilled jobs in Germany remained unfilled. According to an estimate, there would be a need of 3 million skilled workers in Germany by 2030.

This demanded the need to relax the German immigration policy so that international migrants can be hired to fill skilled labor gaps.

Jobs in Canada: 430,000 Job Vacancies Available!

According to Ayesha Saeed, Foreign Affair official serving in Europe, Germany is opening its borders to skilled labors including engineers, metallurgy workers, mathematics, IT technicians and other professionals.

The letter highlights that the major proportion of Pakistan’s population (67%) is under the age bracket of 25. It emphasizes the need to train the interested candidates in order to strengthen their skills and enhance their German language proficiency.

This can also help in the formulation of bilateral institutional mechanism to facilitate the flow of human resource between Pakistan and Germany.

This notification has been forwarded to the National Vocational and Training Commission of Pakistan along with the Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training and Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication so that relevant steps can be taken by the officials to promote skilled labor in the country.

On account of the International Day of Disabled Persons, Jack and Charlie Café and Grill has launched the Braille food menu card for visually impaired people.

The innovative step has been taken by this restaurant located in Karachi’s Khayaban e Sehar to facilitate blind persons or people with vision impairment. It will help them to easily order their favorite dish from the menu on their own, without depending on someone else to read out the menu card.

Arizona Grill Controversy: Reason of Minors Death Revealed!

Believing that the Braille Menu should be considered as a standard in every restaurant in Pakistan, the eatery made this a reality for visually impaired citizens.

Taking to Facebook, Jack and Charlie Café and Grill thanked BINAE and Salman Elahi, who is behind the conversion of menu card into Braille form.

Jack and Charlie is the first medium size restaurant in Pakistan to take the initiative of launching Braille Food Menu.

It accommodates the needs of people who are blind or have a vision impairment. We believe having a braille menu should be more of a standard than a gesture.

Today, people across the world are celebrating the International Day of Disabled Persons. We believe this day shouldn’t be the same cliche as every year, where for one day everyone is organizing the event and talking about disability rights, and trending for few hours on social media. Everyone in their personal capacity should take a step forward to do something better for the people with special need because disability is a matter of perception.

They believe that initiatives like this are a great step forward for a better change in Pakistan.

This introduction of Braille menu card has gathered loads of appreciation for Jack and Charlie Café

Furthermore, the report reveals that the shortage is particularly acute services, including sectors like construction, agricultural, and oil and gas sectors. The sudden crisis came after federal and Quebec governments spar over immigration targets.

Reportedly, Quebec Premier Francois Legault has pledged to cut immigration despite the lack of skilled workers from the French-speaking background of the province.

What I hear across Quebec is entrepreneurs, businesses concerned about the labor shortage, so I´m not sure it´s the best time to cut immigration, -Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

“I think Mr. Trudeau sees, like everyone else, that the CAQ government has a clear mandate,” Legault told reporters on his way out of daily question period.

Earlier, under questioning from Liberal interim leader Pierre Arcand, Legault said the Liberals should mind their tongue given their dismal record on integrating immigrants over the last 15 years.

One immigrant in five left Quebec because they didn’t find a decent job – Legault

“So it’s a bit short-sighted to think we will solve Quebec’s labour shortages only with immigration.”

That earned Jolin-Barrette a fresh blast from Liberal immigration critic Dominique Anglade, who accused the CAQ of picking a number out of thin air.

“The one thing that seems clear on the CAQ’s side is that they have picked an arbitrary number based on an ideology,” Anglade said.

sin-tax

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) government is yet again, taking a revolutionary measure in the healthcare sector by imposing a ‘Sin Tax’ (Gunnah Tax) on cigarette smokers across the nation.

Sources say that the federal government was going over several options as high-level consultation meetings are underway to address the matter.

A correspondent of ARY News, Jahangir Khan, said that the center has decided to impose a heavy sin tax on smoking tobacco.

He added:

“The earnings from this tax would be expended on welfare of masses under Prime Minister National Health Programme,”

https://www.brandsynario.com/philip-morris-pledges-to-give-up-cigarette-production/

This step is likely going to lead to an increase in cigarette prices countrywide and earnings from this tax is expected to be in the billions. The tax is already present in some European Union nations in various forms.

Unpacked Cigarettes Banned in Pakistan!

In the Phillippines, it has been imposed with the passing of the Sin Tax Reform bill.

According to a report published by the World Health Organization (WHO):

“Within the first year of passing the bill, Philippines raised more than USD$1.2 billion and allowed the Philippines to provide health care to an additional 14 million families or roughly 45 million Filipinos.”

Jahangir also stated that a tax of around Rs 5-15 a packet was expected to be levied.

Government sources have confirmed that roughly 4 billion cigarette packets are produced in Pakistan annually.

The public exchequer is expected to gain billions of rupees from this taxation.

The news of Sin Tax being imposed in Pakistan was followed by an uproar on social media.

PTI MNA and Federal Water Resources Minister Faisal Vawda took to social media to defend the move 

And Aamir Liaquat agreed with his statement!

Mubarak on a great innings and thank You!! I’m so glad I got to watch you play live. Love to you and the family.

Lgta hai koi khaas kaam nahin mil rha jab say ranveer kapoor waali pictures out hueen.

UPDATE: Arizona Grill, one of Karachi’s leading eateries faced massive backlash after two minors passed away reportedly from food poisoning.

It was found that the children, Muhammad, 5 years, and his 1.5-year-old brother, Ahmed had dined at the eatery located at Zamzama and had candies at Chunky Monkey.

Medical reports from the case have now been shared. According to these reports, the children had consumed substandard food which later resulted in food poisoning, eventually leading to their death the next day.

However, it is unclear if the unhygienic food was consumed at the eatery or the amusement park.

The sources have added that the final cause of death will also be shared with the media once the microbiology report comes in. Earlier, the reports found no traces of food poisoning in samples collected at the residency.

Approximately, 60 food samples were collected and sent to the lab for tests and analysis following the demise of the minors. Sindh Food Authority also came across a huge amount of expired meat found at the eatery which was reportedly being disposed of.

One of Karachi’s leading eateries, Arizona Grill, along with Chunky Monkey has been sealed after two children lost their lives from food poisoning on Sunday.

Muhammad, 5 years, and his 1.5-year-old brother, Ahmed, had severe food poisoning after they had dinner from Arizona Grill, in DHA Zamzama. Later, they ate sweets from Chunky Monkey DHA Phase-IV on Saturday.

Both the kids, along with their mother, got admitted in the hospital the same night but unfortunately, Muhammad and Ahmed passed away the next day.

Their mother is still admitted in the South City hospital and has been contacted by the police for the details to proceed with their investigation.

According to reports, 6 employees have been arrested by the investigation team and both, Arizona Grill and Chunky Monkey, have been sealed for an unspecified period.

Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Murad Ali Shah has taken the notice of this tragic incident. He has directed the Commissioner of Karachi to submit a detailed report regarding the inspection of these two facilities and has also advised identifying the people involved in this matter.

Arizona Grill has released a statement regarding the matter and has offered the family their deepest condolences.

Healthy and nutritious food are the fundamental pillars of any restaurant. Arizona Grill proudly upholds these values…

Meanwhile, Chunky Monkey refrained from giving any statement and announced that all of its branches are operational.

Since both these places are quite popular among Karachities, it is an alarming call to ensure food safety measures in order to prevent any such case in the future.
