Stock up on Silver
Yesterday night I went to the bakala (local word for very tiny mini markets) under my building to get KDD Silver icecream. To my surprise the guy didn’t have any left, just the Gold one. So I went to the second bakala near by and he also didn’t have Silver. Luckily there are like 20 bakalas in a 5 meter radius behind my building (I love Salmiya) so I went bakala jumping trying to find one that still had Silver left. Luckily I found a box full at the 4th bakala and decided to buy it all and take home. Don’t know if this is a problem around Kuwait or just in my street but maybe the country is running out of Silver??
update: just went and got myself a Raspberry Lolly

I got some today on the way home from school, the guy told me the heat is kicking in, he’s only using the small porthole in his icebox to take stuff out, they’re also selling more and more.

First of all: there’s still bakalas in Salmiyah?
Second: yes I had the same problem in April. They neve had Silver at the little Jabriyah Coop (shitheap) they have in block 12. And since they closed down all the bakalas, there was nowhere else to go look for them.
The big Jabriyah coop is just too crowded and dirty and rundown than to actually go there.

our co op is running out of gold it seems bc i was looking for it and keep running into the shitty fake GOLDEN one from another company. IMO gold is only about 10000x better than silver.

the reason for the silver’s disappearnce in salmiya bakalas is because mark keeps buying boxes of this shit.
THAHAB (GOLD) RULES
