Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Dozens change name to ‘salmon’ to get sushi deal in Taiwan
In Taiwan, citizens can legally change their names three times. For example, when someone wants to have the same name as his or her favorite celebrity, they can do it once or twice and get back to their original names. Each time, it costs only #3 or so. How convenient!
When a Japanese sushi chain launched an all-you-can-eat for free promotion for those whose names include salmon, dozens of people applied for a name change to take advantage of the free meal. Those who changed the names to eat free sushi meal are most likely to have a big appetite for sushi. Since the salmon-customer can bring in five other people, they might have shared the cost for the change-fee for the applicant’s name, once to with-salmon name and another back to the original. It surely sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime deal for sushi lovers. But the government offices don’t like the practice so much because it creates paperwork.
Enjoy reading the article and think if it’s worth changing names for a free meal.
