Dear Blurtians,
How about a fun challenge that can also teach you a thing or two about Thailand? This idea came to me while reminiscing about the "TRAVEL PRO PRICE IS RIGHT GAME!" contest of @world-travel-pro that I enjoyed on the sister chains long ago.
The Concept
I'll present you with a product from one of the 7-Elevens on the Island of Phuket, Thailand. This will allow you to learn a bit more about the habits of Thais and what they buy in their everyday lives.
The challenge is to guess its price in Thai Baht.
In each post, to assist you, I'll provide the exchange rate for the Thai Baht of the day in both dollars and euros.
The Blurtian who comes closest to the actual price of the product wins. In the event that multiple people guess the same price and it's either correct or the closest, we will spin the wheel of luck to determine the winner.
How to Participate
To join in on this challenge, simply write a comment under this post with the price in Thai Baht that you believe is correct and upvote the post. Please refrain from editing your comment as it would void your participation.
The challenge will run for 1 day, and the winner will receive a reward of 10 BLURT before the next challenge is published.
Today's Challenge
For our inaugural challenge, I've chosen a cup of instant noodles of Tom Yum Kung (spicy shrimp soup, Kung meaning shrimp in Thai). Instant noodles are immensely popular among Thai people due to their deliciousness and affordability. They've become a running joke in Thailand, especially on the 1st and 16th of every month when the government lottery results are announced.
Before the lottery results are revealed, it's common for people to say, "Today, you'll find out if you're going to enjoy a lavish buffet or stick with instant noodles." The belief is that if you get to indulge in a big buffet, you'll win the government lottery, but if you eat instant noodles, luck might not be on your side. This superstition often leaves people with no money to buy food, as their funds have been gambled away.
Today's Thai Baht exchange rate:
- 1 THB = 0.028 US Dollars
- 1 THB = 0.026 Euro
I guess 20 baht for the noodles, and.....
Thank you so much for the mention and I'm so happy to inspire you to take this fun little project on yourself. I think that is awesome. Furthermore, it makes my day to know that you and others enjoyed my efforts on Hive before the highly organized group of big money, dark satanist (no joke), and corrupt founders mostly out of Washington DC voted me and many others of similar level off the platform as we were too successful and popular, earning too much and providing too much positivity to the network...so thank you again and....long live Blurt!
Note: Make sure not to get too successful on Hive, it will draw attention to you and they'll down-vote you off the platform. They even used my price is right game as an excuse to down-vote me off the platform believe it or not, saying I was being selfish by taking my time to provide this game, and earning something for myself simultaneously while providing winnings and fun for others....clearly capitalism is a crime over there so be careful.
Thank you for being a role model to play this game. Thank you that you like this game.
How are you doing over there @world-travel-pro that was one game myself and many others enjoyed playing with you till them Dark Satanist blew you off the map damn assholes anyways we move on, and I am happy that @matthew.bua is taking it on your behalf and I will enjoy this game once again. Wishing you all the luck @matthew.bua and I am in.
On another note, would you know where our buddy @outofthematrix has disappeared to??

Also....just some friendly advice......having to read over 350 words to get through the post, to play the game is not so good in my opinion. I'd do my best to get it under 100 words. Short, sweet, and to the point; attracts and holds the most viewers and participants.
