| |
Hi Huneybees,


Coincidentally, while our local talent Joseph Schooling was having his meet-and-greet session at the atrium of Raffles City Shopping Mall, the final stop of his three-stop victory parade for winning Singapore's historical first Olympic gold medal at Rio 2016, HISTORY® (Starhub TV Ch 401) rolled out red carpet next door @ Raffles Convention Centre to welcome its on-air talents to promote their upcoming new and returning original A+E Networks® productions!

Among the celebrities appearing at the HISTORY® media event were Bobby Tonelli, host for Celebrity Car Wars, Professional photographer-to-beat cum Judge Justin Mott of Photo Face-Off, and the leading contributor amd Co-Executive producers of the highly-rated popular extraterrestrials series ANCIENT ALIENS' Giorgio A. Tsoukalos.


Presented by Catlex in association with Garmin Corporation, Celebrity Car Wars' host Bobby Tonelli shared his joy of able to test drive many premium cars from the likes of Audi to Porsche to Ferrari to Aston Martin and pushing them to their limits as part of a car review section in the brand new reality automotive competition show.  


The challenge for him however was to control and manage the ego wars among the 6 celebrity contestants who are all also accomplished hosts in their own respective countries. An example of that Bobby disclosed was the "30 minutes of fame that each celebs wanted for their 15 minutes share of air time", where each celeb fighting among themselves to keep asking questions after given the instruction to a challenge, which made Bobby felt like a school teacher.
Celebrity Car Wars premieres on Monday 29th August at 10pm (SIN/HK), 9pm (BKK/JKT).


Photo Face-Off, Asia's Number One photo-competition show returns in Season 3 with 13 new bunch of eager amateur contestants from Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. Adopting a fresh format for this season, the contestants will compete in their home country in two photo challenges - Speed and Theme - and the eventual winner of that episode will have a chance to complete against the Professional photographer cum Judge Justin Mott for bragging rights! All winners of each episode will move on to the final round in Vietnam.

 
During the interview on stage, Justin Mott praised the talent level of Asian amateur photography scene has gone up since but kidded that he has everything to lose for not winning any of the Face-Off Challenges in each episode as his clients would ask him to lower his professional fee if they found out. Because of the synergy between the show and the Canon Photomarathon, Justin shared that he enjoys meeting all photo enthusiasts of all different levels at every Canon Photomarathon event and talking to them about photography and also the show.


Together with Justin on the stage were also the three contestants from Singapore - Chelsea, Tristan and Aron - who each shared about their individual experience for participating in the show.
Presented by Canon in association with SilkAir, Photo Face-Off Season 3 premieres on Thursday 8th September at 9pm (SIN/HK), 8pm (BKK/JKT).



Making his first ever public appearance in Asia, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos from the hit series, Ancient Aliens, which explore ancient astronaut theorists, revealed that he started publishing a magazine on the subject in 1998 and was always interested to convince people with the best evident he could find but only to be rejected and that upset him. Today, he sleeps well against the Skepticism as he would point everyone to watch Ancient Aliens where all the compelling evident have been presented.


Giorgio found himself very fortunate as what started as a one-off 2 hours documentary called Chariots, Gods and Beyond was sold to HISTORY® not long after and like they say the rest is history.
Season 9 of Ancient Aliens is currently showing on HISTORY®, since 27th July, every Wednesday at 10pm (SIN/HK), 9pm (BKK/JKT).

With these awesome shows happening on HISTORY®, there is no another reason why you should not subscribe to StarHub TV Ch 401 today!

Celebrate the good old times with Sinalco Special and Kickapoo this Chinese New Year!

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Yipee! This Year of the Monkey calls for a touch of nostalgia as we take  a “sip” down memory lane this Chinese New Year with the nostalgic beverages we have grown up with since our childhood. 
POKKA, Asia Pacific’s leading food and beverage group, has gone retro with two of our favourite classic ready-to-drink beverages and tapping on the nostalgia of yesteryears, Kickapoo, a unique blend of citrus-flavoured carbonated soft drink is given a new retro feel while Sinalco Special, a distinctive and memorable flavour many Singaporeans grew up with is back on our shores.


I've been a fan of Kickapoo since my dad introduced it to me, but Sinalco is definitely my first time trying. I love the fruity flavour and once I had it out on the table, it was already snagged up by my cousins who told stories of their younger days whilst enjoying the drink. I love how these drinks can bridge the generation gap and give another meaning for harmony and social interaction this festive season!
Kickapoo Joy Juice
Before becoming a popular drink among Singaporeans, “Kickapoo Joy Juice” was actually a beverage drunk by the characters of American comic strip “Lil Abner”. In the comic, cave dwelling characters Lonesome Polecat and Hairless Joe who live in the fictional village of Dogpatch invented Kickapoo Joy Juice - a liquor of such stupefying potency that the hardiest citizens of Dogpatch, after the first burning sip, rose into the air, stiff as frozen codfish. A new version of the drink was then produced by Monarch Beverage of Atlanta with Singapore and Malaysia being the lead countries to launch the product in 1966. Today, Kickapoo is one of the most popular citrus flavoured Carbonated Soft Drinks brand in the region thanks to its superior taste and that kick!
 
Sinalco Special
This iconic beverage has truly been missed in Singapore with consumers and retailers voicing how much they would like the product to return to local stores and F&B outlets. Established in 1905, Sinalco (a combination of the Latin words: “sine alcohole”, which means “without alcohol” in English) is the oldest non-alcoholic beverage brand of continental European origin exported to more than 150 countries across the globe. A unique composition made with four different fruit flavors to create a unique taste, Sinalco Special provides an unparalleled drinking experience and is an all-time classic which many Singaporeans grew up with.
“Sinalco Special has been providing thirst-quenching refreshment to Singapore residents in the past, thus it is not completely unknown to the likes of 80s kids (and older). The reintroduction of our brand to Singapore is a special moment in its 110 year history. We are happy to have found a strong, reliable partner in Pokka to bring back the joy of this once popular beverage” --- Mr Mongi Goundi, Managing Director Sinalco International Brands GmbH & Co. KG, Germany.
 
The launch of Kickapoo and Sinalco Special will be highlighted by limited edition anniversary designs of cans and bottles that have a unique and retro styling. Both Kickapoo and Sinalco Special are now available at most major supermarkets, hypermarkets, and coffee shops across Singapore.

Hi Huneybees,


If you have been following HISTORY Channel's Pawn Stars, you are in for a treat next week as the father and son duo of Rick and Corey Harrison will be in town to meet their fans!

You can meet and interact with the Pawn Stars, who are on their first trip to Asia, at Star Vista on 25 August, Sunday from 12pm. They will be sharing more about the series and their passion for the pawning business. The Pawn Stars will also be on the lookout for great buys as they tour around some of the iconic sites of Singapore and sample the world famous culinary treats.

HISTORY’s Pawn Stars features a family-run pawnshop in Las Vegas, where three generations of men from the Harrison family; Grandfather Richard, son Rick, grandson Corey; and their friend Chumlee, jointly run the world famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada. Rick Harrison, 48, has been in the pawn business for 28 years and is an expert when it comes to spotting anything fake or stolen; and Corey Harrison, 30, began working at the pawnshop when he was nine and is expertly trained in the art of appraisal.
The series is best known and loved for the Harrison’s highly hilarious antics on-screen, with clashing and camaraderie every step of the way. This family lives and breathes the pawning business, using their sharp-eyed skills to carefully assess the value of items their colorful customers bring in, objects ranging from the obscure to the truly historic.

Do catch HISTORY premieres Season 9 (starting 22 July) and Season 10 – delivering ALL-NEW Pawn Stars episodes every Monday at 10pm for the remainder of 2013!
