Sales of goose products have been up by 30% recently, thanks to former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu.
On the eve of the Kaohsiung mayoral by-election, former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu said he once suggested that KMT candidate Li Mei-jhen eat goose eggs in order to get pregnant. And it worked!
At a campaign rally, former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu said his wife got pregnant eight years after they got married. And it’s all because of a special diet of – goose eggs. KMT candidate Li Mei-jhen said she took Han’s suggestion and got pregnant after eating over 100 goose eggs.
In the southwestern county of Chiayi, the 100 goose eggs free of charge are gone within 5 minutes. But people are skeptical about its powers.
One mother who has several kids says she didn’t eat goose eggs. Another woman says she doesn’t trust the idea at all.
Still, the sudden craze for goose eggs is giving Chiayi Farmers’ Association a chance to promote goose products. The association’s head Huang Chen-yu says sales have gone up by 30% and there are many products to choose from, including a whole goose.
The former mayor did not get the KMT candidate elected, but he sure helped boost the sales of goose products in Taiwan.
