Today’s nostalgia from a country I only recently started living in, and a time that I never lived through ever, is this 1970s commercial for 오뚜기 brand curry. I particularly enjoy this commercial due to the fact that for a good 2 years or so I lived on this stuff, since it’s incredibly easy to prepare (as is clearly evident in the commercial). Only since my marriage has 오뚜기 curry gone from being a staple food to that special treat. “Tonight’s curry night?! Awesome!” Also it’s nice to know that 漢字 were still widely enough in use as to appear in a commercial geared towards housewives circa 1975.

“Olympian’s Avalanche of ‘families.’”
U.S. skier Toby Dawson was
adopted as a toddler from South Korea.
Now many people claim to have information
about his parentage.

Delicious curry AND vintage commercial cheese. The difference in cultural perspective renders the passage of time doubly effective in creating a comical curry mix. Mmmm. . . cur-ry.
