00:00In this challenge, my courage or your courage will be tested.
00:04Will I be able to do these food combinations?
00:08If it's a pass, your courage will be tested.
00:15Puto and Dinuguan.
00:19Pass.
00:19We'll go with that.
00:21I like Dinuguan more than Merienda.
00:24So, rice.
00:27Bread and ice cream.
00:30We can try it.
00:31Mmm, delicious.
00:35This can also be a combination.
00:37Pakuwan and Atsin.
00:41Soy sauce and vanilla ice cream.
00:44Pass.
00:45Pass.
00:46Pass.
00:47It's different to hear these food combinations
00:50in this kind of discard.
00:52Friends, Genica and Christine,
00:55their success in the Potato Chips coated with Chocolate business.
01:07Christine and Vinayka thought of mixing salt and sweetness.
01:13Using potatoes and chocolate, they made a unique cut-putin.
01:17We both like potato chips,
01:19so we thought of trying snacks.
01:23But we'll give it a twist.
01:25We noticed that in the past few months,
01:29potato chips have been rising.
01:32We noticed that the potato chips we sell are getting saltier.
01:37Now, we both like sweet food.
01:41So, if we mix something salty,
01:44what will that taste like?
01:49The former love of cut-putin,
01:50they tried to make their own seasoning and flavor.
01:54I did some research before I came up with potato chips.
01:58At that time, I wanted something easy to eat.
02:02Something that's easy to eat.
02:05The price and quality,
02:07the chocolate potato chips we're looking for are very expensive.
02:11So, we came up with a more cheaper but quality product.
02:18Because it's a new business,
02:20it was a challenge for the friends who started it.
02:23Before doing business, we have an e-commerce business.
02:26We're earning six digits monthly there, consistently.
02:29But we had to stop.
02:30Our problem is we can't control the product.
02:32We wanted to start a business,
02:35start a product where we can control the quality,
02:38we can adjust the taste, and so on.
02:40But it's just the beginning.
02:41It looks like there's a gap
02:43between what Christina and Vinayka are looking for in their product.
02:46We're really new to the food industry.
02:48That's why we're not familiar with the products.
02:53Even though the potato chips they use
02:54are not included in the friends' plan.
02:58We're looking for that crunchiness.
03:00We also came up with a more mushy potato chip.
03:05In making chips, they use fresh potatoes.
03:09They clean it manually
03:10so that the sticky soil on its skin is removed.
03:14They use a slicer
03:15to get the right thickness of the potatoes they want.
03:19They put it in the chiller for a day.
03:24They dry it and then fry it.
03:31When it comes to the chocolate coating,
03:33they just melt the chocolate block.
03:36Then they drop it in the chocolate
03:38and crush the whole part of the chips.
03:42They add salt and put it back in the chiller.
03:45Once the chocolate is hard,
03:47they can now crush it.
03:51For more people to taste the sweetness and saltiness of their chips,
03:54online applications and postings
03:56have become a hobby of Christina and Vinayka.
04:00We're slowly entering different social media
04:03like Facebook and Instagram.
04:05I want to know if Prada really has a demand
04:07because if not,
04:09maybe they're just curious to try it.
04:11We've been testing Prada for more than a year
04:13to see if there's a demand.
04:14So, yes, there is.
04:17As a home-based business,
04:18the friendship started when they were just kids.
04:21We have a capital of Php 3,000.
04:23Four spatulas and four stainless bowls.
04:26That's our main source of income.
04:30And they even became a discount.
04:32Even though the product is still unknown,
04:34Christina and Vinayka sold four types of chocolate coats.
04:39Belgian chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and matcha.
04:43What people want to eat
04:46and what's easy to find and accessible in the market
04:49are matcha, Belgian, and white chocolate.
04:52There's also dark chocolate
04:53if they want a cocoa flavor.
04:57They also started reselling
04:58to speed up their sales.
05:01We offered reselling
05:02for a small business that wanted to start.
05:05Per week, we sell up to 50 kilos per week.
05:09We sell 250 to 300 packs per month.
05:15We're earning roughly five digits per month.
05:20So usually, per week, it's Php 8,000 to Php 10,000.
05:24This is new.
05:27Potato chips coated with chocolate.
05:30Mmm.
05:32This combination is really good.
05:34It's delicious.
05:36The taste is smooth.
05:38It's delicious.
05:40Mmm.
05:41This is dark.
05:43Mmm, it's delicious.
05:44I like dark.
05:45Matcha is also delicious.
05:48Christina and Vinayka's trial and error was terrifying.
05:52This is the secret to their continuously successful business.
05:56Believe in yourself.
05:57Believe in your team.
05:59And of course, believe in your product.
06:01You'll go through a point
06:04where you don't want to do it anymore, you're tired, you give up.
06:07But at the end of the day,
06:09you need to stick to your plan.
06:11You need to stay true to your goal.
06:15I always think that it's just money.
06:18I'll just earn it, and I'll continue to earn it.
06:20There will still come a point
06:22where your intentions are genuine and pure.
06:26And money will just follow.
06:27Do it, because
06:29you don't know how far your product will take you.
06:33It's doubtful at first,
06:34but the difference and sometimes the trial
06:37of different combinations
06:39when the seasoning is right
06:41and it matches the taste,
06:43it's definitely worth it.
