PR needs Extra Joss at the polls

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: The Republican Party (PR) capped its final day of campaigning on Thursday by giving away some 30,000 bottles of the tonic drink Extra Joss in several traditional markets.

A local party leader, Darsono, said Extra Joss and the Republican Party had one thing in common: They both used fists as their symbol.

"Hopefully Extra Joss will remind people of the Republican Party when they go to the polls next week," Darsono said.

Some bystanders who received the Extra Joss gulped down the drink, giggled and said: "Extra Joss and the Republican Party must belong to the same company." (45)
