In most Asian countries, it cannot be denied that some foreign products were replicated, but the companies used with different brand names. The Philippines is not exempted with this real fact about it. I am not scrutinizing or criticizing in any way. Most Filipinos love foreign products, either intangible things or not,
One of the local versions of the original m&m is Nips here in the Philippines. Since it is my Korean student's birthday, I bought small packs of Nips for him. My aim is to let him experience the local sweets available in the Philippines.
"Are there any local products replicate the foreign ones in your place?"
"Do you like sweets?"

There are "copycats" at places like Dollar Tree and 99 Cents Store.

As I child I have fond memories of this and they have evolved over the years and they have variety of their brand names just like the imported ones M&M. Although taste wise I like the imported ones but these local products have made their version almost similar to the imported ones already.

I do not but used to like sweets when little kid. Do you guys, I mean sure you do. I always wonder how it works in other countries. Tradition companies that been there since a kid. Do you have them and is it something you find cool. I mean we have Hershey's and Budweiser, respectable companies where one can make the case that is American. We so self indulged here we not sure how things work outside our own space.
