So I am sitting down enjoying my local Chinese Restaurant when an irritating couple behind me is complaining about this or that…not that I was eavesdropping but as their voices carried their complaints waffled over my table. Apparently they were not happy with the food…however this was not about them as well as this message was not about them it just inquired me to roll my eyes and try to forget about their complaints as I did I noticed the bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Their new brand slogan is “Kikkoman, seasoning your life” However…their bottles specially made dispensers to decant their sauce have another label or slogan on its back. REFILL ONLY WITH KIKKOMAN…hmmm does that mean there is a law about refilling with La-Choy? I mean can I take Meijer’s branded Cheapo Soy sauce and dump it in? Or if I do does the Soy Sauce patrol come and drag me away? What If I snuck some Marukin Soy Sauce in its place with the lights off while no one seen me pore it in…would I get caught? Yeah, Yeah I know I would have spilled half the bottle on myself so that would have been a dead give away…My question is this…The Bottle was made to hold Kikkoman’s brand of Soy sauce and no other because why? Does other soy’s in that bottle have a bad reaction? Would we grow another eye? Would bells and whistles ring and clang until the soy Nazi’s come in and rush the perpetrator away? Does the little red cap react with a another version of soy? All good questions…it almost reminds me of back in the day when we had the warnings on Mattresses not to remove the labels…like why?
Refill only with Kikkoman…or risk what?...So buying those cute little dispensers means you have to ask yourself a haunting question…If I do fill it with another soy sauce am I in danger…but for now that question and all the questions of the world will have to wait due to me wishing you a Fabulous day, a Wonderful morning and I will leave you with this little trivia question which sauce is the most popular soy sauce in Chinese restaurants?
Good Morning and here are a huge hug and 13 pats to start it out with…
