Indeed, the emblem of the Belarusian rescuers with the emergency number is made in the same colors as all the other inscriptions on the pack and merges with them in the overall design.
Most users, like the author of the video, do not know for sure why they began to indicate the telephone number of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on packs of porridge popular with Belarusians.
“Just a fireman”, “because oatmeal porridge is a fire!”, “The product is highly flammable” – social network users share their assumptions. Among them there are those who are close to the truth: “If there is smoke from the pan. We don’t hesitate to call.”
Why do they actually write the phone number of the Ministry of Emergencies on packs of oatmeal?
In fact, placing the number 112 on packs of oatmeal, one of the cheapest and most popular cereals sold in Belarus, began several years ago at the initiative of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Belarus.
“Rescuers of the Gomel region will be able to remind about safety along with the first rays of the sun. Most people start their morning with breakfast, which, according to the recommendations of doctors, is oatmeal. told then the department has its own “innovation in the field of security propaganda.”
“Rescuers decided to make breakfast not only nutritious, but also a reminder of safety. Now on the package you can see the logo of the Ministry of Emergencies and the number by which you can call the rescuers,” the press service of the Ministry of Emergencies noted, emphasizing that the effectiveness of such a promotion “is guaranteed by the circulation: every day 80,000 units of products arrive on the shelves.”
Not just oatmeal! What Belarusian products can be found on the phone of the Ministry of Emergency Situations
It should be noted that oatmeal is far from the only product on which you can see the logo of Belarusian rescuers. They can also be seen on glazed curds, fruit juice bottles, dairy products from some Belarusian manufacturers, and even chicken eggs!
As you can see, the Ministry of Emergency Situations with its branded products gives scope for challenges in social networks and each time comes up with new ways to draw the attention of Belarusians to compliance with safety rules.
