Fly ‘Found’ in IRVINS’ Salted Egg Potato Chips But It Didn’t Look Crispy

2019-01-25 , 2:38 pm

A while back, IRVINS’ was caught with its pants down when reports, claiming that a lizard had been found in its chips, emerged.

After the jaw-dropping revelation, IRVINS’ issued a public apology, and said that it would “look into it”.

But just when the whole furore was dying down, a new challenger appeared when it was revealed that prior to that, someone else has found another fried lizard in their addictive chips.

Thankfully, however, it really appeared to be the ‘endgame’ this time.

Or is it?

For reports have emerged that Irvins’ critter mania is back, and this time it’s a never-before-seen entity: an honest to goodness salted egg…

Fly.

So what happened was that on 24 Jan, Facebook user Li Qin Fam shared the discovery of a fried fly in her packet of Irvins’ Salted Egg potato chips.

Note: the post has since been made unavailable.

Now I know you didn’t sign up for a ‘finding that needle in the haystack’ mini-game here (especially on a laidback Friday) and so here’s the full-blown image of the fly in all of its unbridled glory:

Indeed, one can’t help but wonder how the user must’ve felt, seeing how they effectively found a fly after copious mouthfuls of ‘salted egg chips’.

Yeah, I would’ve probably reacted like that.

Doesn’t Look Fried

However, if you take a closer look, you’ll realise something.

It’s not crispy nor coated in salted egg goodness, compared to the previous cases.

In other words, there’s no evidence of it being in the pack. Anyone can just put a cockroach beside the chips and claim that it’s from the pack.

Moreover, the post has been deleted for some reason – why?

Is a fly less important than a lizard?

IRVINS’ Salted Egg

Lest you’re not aware, IRVINS Salted Egg is started by none other than Irvin Gunawan, a 32-year-old Indonesian-born entrepreneur.

It all started out when he sold the snacks in a typical CNY style in his restaurant, and when demand for the snacks increased, it became a business instead.

In other words, it’s born out from demand and now, it has even gone global, with the brand appearing in a SCMP video.
