"Food and How it is portrayed in media"


The commercial of Nissin, where they introduce a seafood noddle cup. They use old custom of Japanese tradition and a Japanese cartoon character. They show that if you eat their product, it will make you feel the waves of the ocean giving comfort. But actually, when I tasted the product. It taste like plastic shrimp rather taste like ocean water. I am actually allergic to shrimps, but not all seafood items. They used japanese culture in their commercial, because japanese traditions are very relaxing. And they associate this with the peace of mind. Their mostly costumes are in there working in the office. Since cup noddles is a fast food, people in the office tends to buy these products. And mostly people working in office are stressed. thinking of the japanese traditions makes people think that their stress will flow away, just like in the commercial. The old customs of japanese will be revive and it will be the new custom for those who eat seafood noddles.
