[Note from writer] This article was written for students, parents and teachers by a former IGCSE student as a way of helping students be more likely to succeed. I should add that students should do additional research to maximise their potential fully
I remember when I first started IGCSE, I had no idea how IGCSE would work or where to even get resources from. Hilariously, I didn't fully understand how IGCSE worked until I got my exam results which I feel isn't how it should work. Now having finished IGCSE, here's what I think every IGCSE student should know when taking the IGCSE program ranging from studying tips to revision resources and more.
Apple has just aired its fall hardware Livestream “Far Out”, an event announcing the next iteration of its iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watch lineup. Here’s everything the company showed off on Thursday.
The first product Apple debuted on Thursday was an update to the Apple Watch...
For better or worse, YouTube Rewind, the annual end of year video featuring everything big that happened on the YouTube Platform that year with content creators from all around the world, has been confirmed to be cancelled permanently.
In a tweet over at YouTube's official Twitter account, Youtube thanked creators who volunteered to partake in Rewind over the years and said that they would be "refocus our energies on celebrating you and the trends that make YouTube with a different and updated kind of experience - stay tuned! "
The decision to cancel rewind indefinitely was said to not due to the large number of criticisms received in recent years but due to the fact that the platform has grown so massive that it was impossible to encapsulate its vastness and diversity within a minute-long compilation. Instead, YouTube will be turning to the community themselves to create their own YouTube rewind, similar to what Mr Beast did in 2020, and award shows such as the Streamy Awards.
It isn't all bad news though as YouTube does seem to have something in the work, teasing to that it was planning a global end of year interactive experience. For now, they declined to disclose further information on this project. We'll just have to wait and see.
It seems after 16 years of intense fighting, the people of South Korea have finally gotten what they had so hard struggled for. The green onion cereal?! Yes, you heard that right. For 16 years, the people of South Korea have been fighting with the Kellogs corporations to introduce, what can be presumed as the weirdest breakfast cereal ever thought of by mankind. So how did the fight for Green Onion Cereal begin? Why would anyone even want green onion cereal? and most importantly, is it any good?
This bizarre story starts back in 2004 when Kellogg's cooperations started a new advertising campaign in which the public could vote on which cereal they wanted them to release next. A TV commercial offered two cartoon candidates in the presidential election for the Chex Choco Empire - chocolate-flavoured Cheki and green onion-flavoured Chaka. Truth be told, the vote was already decided before voting even started. Kellogg's had been mass-producing the extra chocolaty cereal for quite some time now. This whole voting ad campaign was to get people more engaged and hyped on the cereal. Kellogg's thought it would be an easy win. I mean, who would want to eat green onion cereal? Boy, were they surprised.
When voting first commenced, Cheki was in a big lead, but as the voting progressed, the tides began to turn as a giant army of trollers assembled on the front door of Kellogg's website. At first, it started slow, but as the days passed by and momentum picked up, Chaka overtook Cheki. Kellogg executives scrambled around to turn the vote back in their favour, but it was too little too late. Day by day, the gap just grew and grew until they knew there was no way they could win. So what did Kelloggs do? They cited voter fraud, restricted voting and announced Cheki as the winner to called it a day.
Of course, people were outraged, and a massive protest against Kellog's corporation ensued online. People called out Kellog's to release the actual voting results. Others called Cheki an illegitimate tyrant. This flame kept burning for 16 years, with #PrayForChex regularly appearing, and it seems to have worked.
In 2020, Kellogg's did something no one expected. They actually released the long-awaited green onion cereal as a limited edition cereal alongside an apology video on their youtube channel. This news became so big that on the day it was announced, it became the top trending topic on South Korean Social Media and sold out online within 2 days of it being released. People all over South Korea were overjoyed and cheered as Cheki was ousted, and the rightful ruler was put in his place.
So after reading this whole story, you are probably wondering, was the struggle worth it? Does it taste good? Lucky for you, I actually bought it and tasted it.
So what did I think? Absolutely horrible- the worst cereal I have ever tasted. Interestingly it did taste better without milk but still tasted pretty bad. Don't buy it.
Ending on a different note, they ended up doing the same stunt, this time in Japan. Customers could either vote for a new Vanilla flavoured Cereal or a Wasabi Flavoured Cereal. Like last time, Kelloggs expected everyone to vote for the vanilla flavoured cereal, but I think we all know how it ended. It seems they still haven't learned their lesson...
