..be transformed by the renewing of your mind

*hahaha, ripped this from my sis’ blog, very funny and interesting. I miss Shulian… and a good old run.*

For a start, UHU is pronounced as ooh-hoo not you-hoo as how we usually pronounce it.
UHU is actually a verywell-known German brand. And the word uhu itself means owl.

So Syam you know my colleague is not lying to me haha

In 1905, August Fischer, a dispensing chemist, purchased the chemical factory that Ludwig Hoerth had founded in 1884 with the aim of extended production of inks, rubber stamp pads, paints and adhesives. In 1932, Fischer developed a clear synthetic resin adhesive which displayed the ability to affix any material. Following the custom of the time to name products in the writing goods sector after birds, Fischer named the glue UHU (pronounced: ‘oo-hoo), after uhu, the German name for the eagle owl, a bird which at the time could still be found in the Black Forest.

In 1971 Fischer’s company, renamed UHU after its leading product, was taken over by the Beecham Group of England (which subsequently became a part of GlaxoSmithKline), but regained control via a management buyout in 1989. In 1994 UHU became a totally owned subsidiary of the Bolton Group, a manufacturer of branded consumer goods.
