ABC PRESIDENT> The factory right now makes about 3 million pack and 4 million cups a year.
TRR> Have you ever thought about varieties like macaroni and cheese or pizza flavored instant noodles for foreign markets?
ABC PRESIDENT> I don’t thinK Macaroni and cheese flavor will sell. Maybe I will do a test and find out in the future.
TRR> Many of your products are sold in cups. Have you heard about the recent stories about cups tipping over, and if so, what do you think about that?
ABC PRESIDENT> We try to address the issue about tip over cup, I had some ideas but the cup factory cannot make the shape of cup that we want to.
TRR> Which are your personal favorite varieties of ABC and what (if anything) do you add to them?
ABC PRESIDENT> The Spicy Chicken and Chicken Curry is the Best Flavor.
