After asking if it was acceptable in my culture to receive gifts from men, Rafael gave me these as a gift. I said thank you and he was surprised that I knew the brand. I told him that in the Philippines, these are quite high-end slippers (excuse me, "flip-flops" pala). His reply? In Brazil, Big Mac is more expensive than Havaianas.
It turns out that these "sandals" (as he calls them) are very famous in Brazil because they are so cheap and were produced for really low income people.
Amazing what branding and colonial mentality can do, huh?
