NIPS?
October 9th, 2008
I don’t know about you, but I find this quite wrong! I took this photo at a gas station in Malaysia.
There are quite a few references to that word, but these are the ones I’m talking about:
Nip may refer to:

Of all words, couldn’t they have chosen a more P.C. name like Chocolate drops or choconuts?
Nip in the bud?
Check out Filipinos – a brand in Spain
Malaysia Boleh
It sure would be interesting if there is another candy that goes by the word “slip” next to it.
It actually tastes quite good.
Oh.. i just ate a few packets of nips in the office hehee.. does that make me a “nipper”? *self-invented term*
sooo nicealert(‘nice’);
Ben: Really? ok will google noe
Kuen: you would never know… would probably find something named like that in china or sumthin…
Azman: i’m sure… just the branding a bit ‘salah!
ginA: HAhahha yes it does!
haha..all I know now,it sure does taste much2 better after reading this post
…..and you think chocoNUTS is better because?
BTW Angie let me know if there’s anything you want from here to send over in December.
cynic: AHAhahah true… even wondered why another peanut brand is called Camel Nuts!!
Ben: Lovely!
NIPS is actually a Filipino owned brand,it just happened that they set up plants in Malaysia & Indonesia due to the cheap labor there. I see them around even in Bugis. It’s been around for 25+ years, when political correctness hasn’t been coined yet.
The Filipinos made a ruckus about the Filipino bar also, 3-4 years ago (the bar has been in existence longer). I chanced upon and tasted that candy bar in Beniscola, Spain. It was delicious. I couldn’t grasp what the brouhaha was about.
I’m Filipino, BTW
JC: Wow thanks for that!!! good piece of reserach there.
