Chances are that most of the other kids did not have the internet either so would not know the correct answer. Hopefully the teacher kept her mouth shut to spare the boy from embarrassment.

Emperor Nasi Goreng 😅 This ad is still a classic 😅

When this ad came out I was doing homework on China and the only thing appearing when I searched for “China” was this ad and articles about it.

I remember when i was 13 in detention, and the teacher wanted us to answer a question right and he would let us out. And this one kid said 'to keep the rabbits out' when asked why the great wall of china was built. Funny shit.
