| Yummy! Yasser Cheese Snack |
| 2002-05-30 |
| Yasser Arafat cheese puffs are the new hit snack on the streets of Egypt's capital. A cartoon of the Palestinian leader salutes consumers from each 25-piastre ($0.05) bag of Abu Ammar chips, beckoning them to buy the snack and support a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation. "Abu Ammar, hero of the struggle," the cover reads in bright red letters, referring to Arafat by his nom de guerre. Ooooh! Mom! Buy me that! |
