Over the years we’ve received many interesting, funny, and sometimes strange questions about our work. We decided to share with you the most common questions and our answers (with a bit of humor):
About the Rice Itself

Creative Questions
Question: Do you also write on beans/quinoa/chickpeas/fava beans/lentils?
Answer: Not yet, but if you’re so hungry, there’s a great restaurant really close by…
Question: Do you know there’s rice bigger than this?
Answer: Next time you come, bring me a kilo… I’ll make you a necklace as a gift (we’ve heard this sentence hundreds of times but have never had the chance to witness this enormous rice with our own eyes - truly a magical unicorn rice)
Question: And if I bring the rice from home, will it be free?
Answer: Hmm. You’re welcome to also write on it at your home and save the trip to Eilat.
About the Work Process
Question: Who writes on the rice, you?
Answer: No, I just sit here for nothing. The one who writes on rice is a little fairy sitting under our table… Order what you want, I’ll call her meanwhile.
Question: Do you have a special machine that writes on rice?
Answer: No, I have a special pen and hands. But if you invent one like that, I’ll be the first to buy it.

Answer: No, I have a cylinder.

Question: What are these little flowers made of?
Answer: Little flowers.
Question: What does this do?
Answer: I’ll tell you what it doesn’t do. It doesn’t reveal lottery numbers and it doesn’t play music. It’s a unique and personal decorative and ornamental object that adds beauty and interest to life.
Classic Reactions
Reaction: What is this! It’s small! I can’t see anything!
Answer: This isn’t exactly a question but more a cry for help - sir, this isn’t an optician’s. I don’t know what your prescription is, but you definitely need glasses.
