China: The Greatest Imitators
I was walking around a new upscale supermarket in a new upscale mall in Kunming city when I came across this.

Matint?
There are alot of brands of Whisky and Cognac in the liquer section of the supermarket. But I felt something was off about them. They all look real classy and expensive, but look closely at the logo on the top left of the box. It says ‘Matint’ in a blue and familiar way. Kinda like this.

Ahhh…..
Heh I knew that China were very good at imitating brands, but I never knew they did spirits too! And it ain’t a shabby job either! Check out what’s inside the box.

For about RM$180, you get a bottle of Matint X.O. Cognac with two extra miniature bottles, and a freakin’ gold watch! Now when was the last time you saw Martell give away gold watches hmmm?
