Blue 007 Soju




























Soju used to be more imaginatively packaged. I think these are some of the only pictures of the old blue soju bottles outside Naver.

I have two questions. Why did the soju companies change from blue to green bottles? And why aren't I drinking a bottle of awesome 007 soju from a blue bottle, wearing an official 금복주 T-shirt RIGHT NOW?

Definitive proof, as if more were needed, that everything in the past was better than it is now.

  1. Did you ever see the old "Toad Juice" commercials on YouTube? Weird. It confirms the suspicion that Korean ads are simply random collections of images assigned to an unrelated product.

  2. I saw those on your site and once before that somewhere. I don't know if I agree with you, though. I think their customers turn into biped Jinro Soju frogs as they get older. Especially the ajjumas.
