Comm Res 160 Journal Entry No. 10

For this day, May 7, 2012, these are the things we did:

We had an assignment that we need to present to Sir Vic. We were required to do product ideation for KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), Tokyo Tokyo, and Mister Donut.

Here are the products I thought feasible to do:

for KFC

-Sundae
-Chiken and/or Fish Fillet
-Different Dips
-Cheezy Ham Fillet

for Tokyo Tokyo
-Takoyaki
-Calamares
-Katsudon
-Tonkatsu
-Cold Ramen
-Matcha ice cream

for Mister Donut
-Donut and Coffee Combination (sort of a budget meal)

The products my other co-intern presented were quite amazing and my ideas were crappy. I just thought of it while on my way to school. When I get home from work every day, my siblings are already waiting for me to drop my bag for them to get my laptop and use the internet. This gives me no time to use my laptop again and I end up having a goodnight sleep instead.

So, anyway, after presenting our ideas and after being critiqued, we were asked to do revisions of the product ideations. I, for the meantime, have another assignment (my boss always gives me extra chores for reasons I don't know why. Maybe because I'm from UP that's why they are confident about my skills. Perhaps.) I need to do a research on global and local foodservice innovations. I presented it the same day but my boss wanted more. He wants me to do desktop research, i.e. blogs, vlogs, online gimmicks, and other events or propaganda about food, food trend, food service and the food industry. We were not able to finish it though by the end of the day due to limited internet access (I'm the one providing my own internet which I also share with my co-interns, not the office!)
