You’re the 1, Goldilocks
Goldilocks products have always been prized items for me as a young girl.
Back when my mother used to travel to Manila to purchase goods to be sold in her store, she would always, always bring home Goldilocks popcorn, polvoron, brownies and of course, cakes. Never mind if she had to hand carry these things because she has to take a four-to-five hour bus ride home.
I would savour eating these products, taking one slow bite after another slow bite. It was pure bliss!
When a store near our home in the province sold Goldilocks products, I saved my allowance to be able to buy which, like the products my mother bought home, were savored one tiny bite at a time.
I even took baking lessons with close friends during one summer when I was in high school so that I can make cookies, brownies and cakes. I did enjoy baking these products but nothing came close to the texture, flavour and taste of the Goldilocks products that I so love.
When I went to college in the NCR, I always had Goldilocks products in my small stash of food supply: polvoron, brownies and those oh-so-soft and velvety mamon.
Whenever I can go home on a weekend, I bring Goldilocks pasalubong to my mother. Never mind if this puts a dent in my allowance.
I lived in a dorm that is on a street with a Goldilocks restaurant. I have lots of fond memories of meals eaten there with my parents whenever they visit me. I even go there by myself when the dorm food is not to my liking. I alternated having dinuguan and puto, palabok, and pork barbecue whenever I went there. These were gastronomical experiences that I fondly remember.
Whenever my friends and I watch movies, we were always armed with Goldilocks caramel popcorn.
Oh the precious memories!
Now that I am married and have three children, birthday celebrations and special occasions are never complete without Goldilocks products.
Mamon, ensaymada, brownies, banana bread slice and popcorn are commonly brought to school for snacks.
When we have Goldilocks cravings, we head off to a branch to savor the wonderful meals being offered.
Goldilocks products make us feel more united as a family and with this I say:
“You’re the one Goldilocks because you make me feel special with your wonderfully delicious products that are best shared with my loved ones”
