@wordswithbones: Replying to @zla85g0ham the one product that’s turned into a semi-premium indulgence in Korea, but has never changed in American consumers’ minds as a cheap, unappealing struggle food. #brandstrategy #koreanbrand #globalbranding #globalbusiness #cannedfood
Instant coffee? Generally looked down upon in the US. Can be given as gifts in Korea.

as a European, when I saw Laughing Cow cheese in Korea being marketed as premium and to eat on a cheese board or with wine, it was so funny to me 😬

To me it’s the VERY fancy fruit. Maybe it’s not as bad in Korea as Japan but there is no situation in America where we would pay $50 for a melon in a bow that a farmer hand raised.

What are your thoughts on the possibility of SPAM being essentially reverse-marketed back into the United States? Given the significant amount of Korean content being absorbed by the US, it would be intriguing to explore the idea of SPAM being marketed as a US-made “Korean-approved” product. 🤔

I’ve recently discovered that Koreans LOVE everything Danish - both things (including foods and sweets) actually from Denmark and things branded as Danish without actually being it 😅

As someone who raised heritage breed livestock, I was super disappointed to learn that current Jeju Black pigs are only about 25% of the genetic makeup of Jeju’s pigs. They’ve bred away from them because they aren’t commercially viable but still market them as special. 😭
