Desi pakHumor

Found inside a medicine bottle:

DESI PAK

The technique used to cram entire extended families into a single Ambassador or Bajaj. Related expression in Hindi: ‘ghusna,’ to squeeze in quickly, quietly and off the books before the train leaves, your shady money-making scheme is shut down or the government babu cuts off the subsidies. Not to be confused with ‘Pak Desi.’

PERFORMANCE PACKAGING

I don’t suppose they’re referring to latex. No s-hecks please, we’re desi.

HARMLESS

Harmless, fatalist and philosophical. A non-conquering, non-converting subcontinent with a Hindu rate of growth and long, whinging, political addas. Then everyone goes home and returns the current party to power.

ADSORBENT

Attracts liquids — either Old Monk or Señor Walker.

DO NOT EAT

Please do not eat the desis.

(UNLESS WE BEG FOR IT)

It’s all good then.

Do not eat!

UK street slang. Basically to rob someone in the street in a not-very-violent way.
Typical scene on the streets of Leyton, London:
'Yo, blad, empty your pockets.'
'huh?'
'Man, I'm eating you. Hurry up and set me your phone and your money.'

I found this on the Desi-Pak website:

DESI PAK is the trade name for [immigrants] containing a very high grade of [elbow-grease] from [Hindoostan] DESI PAK is a low-cost, efficient [worker] which will protect the contents of a properly sealed [America] until it is opened. The contents of a sealed [America] will be in the same condition as when packaged for [export to Hindoostan]. In being distributed all over the world, DESI PAK has been recognized as [the one diasporic element] most effective at adsorbing [money, power & problems] in packaged [cultures].
