Angry Birds is no doubt one of the most successful games in history in terms of popularity and revenue. Four months ago, it was estimated that the total revenue reached approximately $70 million. Rovio, the company that owns it, claims that the game only cost $140 to make. Do the math, and see the % of its profit.

Because of the games popularity, several pictures, videos, and games are created about it. One game launched a few months back, is parody of the game. Named Angry Daddy, it’s about a pig trying to shoot down attacking birds with bow and archery arrows. Playing the game made me laugh for a few moments.

Last Tuesday, I spent the hours at work and felt really tired and hungry late in the evening. My hunger felt like the exactly opposite effect of any appetite suppressants because at that time, I really thought that I can eat any kind of food.

We eventually decided to dine at Teriyaki Boy and I’m planning to order their bento box meal, complete with rice, Teriyaki chicken, kani salad, coffee jelly, miso soup and iced tea. We were about to order when the waiter explained to us their promo every Tuesday – your meal is free if you’re lucky enough to have the heads face up (marked with their logo) upon tossing their custom made coin. This promo applies to selected meals from their menu.

To make the story short, we were lucky that night. Our food was worth P900+ and we only paid for the drinks and food that are not part of the promo. It was really a good way to end an otherwise awful day.

By the way, this promo is for the month of July only. So I plan to spend my Tuesdays in T-boy.
