Taiwanese Server Lucky Snack

In Taiwan we have a special brand of snacks named 乖乖 (literally means “well behaved” but in a casual way like when one’s compliment a child or a pet of being good) that has green package. It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server. It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semiconductor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

A post explains the Taiwanese snack 乖乖, whose green packaging has become a lucky charm in server rooms and semiconductor factories. Engineers place it on servers because its name suggests that machines will behave well and stay operational. The joke is the superstitious treatment of a snack as IT equipment protection, with a customized package made for a major semiconductor company.
