Mustafa

Bored? Nothing to do? Just lost your part time job cos the company was in a total mess? Go to Mustafa, where all your dreams come true.
Located somewhere in Serangoon(Singapore is that small, you cant miss it), it is a haven for bargain hunters and fools alike.

Mustafa recently expanded its iron grip to the nearby shophouses to provide the people of Singapore with 24-hour non-stop goodness.

Fun games to play in Mustafa Centre : Find the Expired Food

Mustafa has an entire floor dedicated to groceries. Although finding expired food may sound easy in a place like Mustafa, it can get tricky. Much of their goods are CLOSE to expiry, but just not there yet. It is rumoured, that once food expires, they sacrifice it to the Indian God Vishnu, at the same time praying for guidance during their campaign to take over all 7-Elevens with their own brand of Mini-Mustafas(modeled after Apu and his highly successful Kwik-E-Mart)

It has also been rumoured that they have other ways of getting rid of all their expired food, but they are only rumours.

So the race was on, to see who could find expired food first. Whoever did, would win the grand prize of 4 monies(basically the losers would pay 1 money each to the winner).

Avoiding all sense of logic, we searched through most of the shelves(including the Masala flavoured maggi and dried Chapatti flavoured soups), but to no avail.

The Masturbating Monkey thought he could score in the Dried Parantha section, but he was so wrong. As wrong as a Masturbating Monkey could be.

Along the way, we did manage to find some interesting artifacts worth mentioning. Take this jar of Wha-cha-ma-call-it.

The friendly people at Mustafa have helpfully changed the weight of the product from 70 grams to 110 grams with a ballpoint pen. This was probably done to compensate for the bugs which have since grown in the jar over time, adding to the overall weight of it. That is what i call Customer Service.

After hours(40 minutes actually) of searching all around, we finally found a winner. It came from the most unlikely of places, the dried food section(aren't dried foods supposed to last forever?).

On closer examination, one of the packets of SUNMAID Raisins looked abit suspicious. The expiry dates on the boxes themselves were rubbed off, and a new expiry date was labelled on the outer plastic packaging. Fishy huh?

We took no chances. We quickly called off the contest and declared a winner.

The winner of the DAFANSU SUPER CHALLENGE is none other than, Sunshineeee

Pictured here with his wining find. Despite trying to convince him to use his prize money to actually buy the pack of expired raisins he found, the forces of sanity got the better of him.

The runner up prize goes to Mr Cow, who found this pack of Black Salt from the Medieval ages.

Congratz to Mr Cow, who won a pat on the back(who asked you to be 2nd place? Stupid Cow)

Distraught by his runner up prize, Mr Cow then proceeded to commit suicide by eating a Mustafa Burger from the Mustafa Cafe.
