Haagen-Dazs Japan treated around 80 people to a relaxing time on luxury beds, as they listened to classical music and sampled the company’s new “Dolce” ice cream at the Laforet Harajuku museum in downtown Tokyo.
Haagen-Dazs. . . Bed. . . Hmmmmm. . .
Poor Mari….she’s my favorite. If I ever become a j-pop singer and part of the...
JP, this was BIG NEWS in Taiwan, on all the TV news program same day, i didn’t know what it was until you explained it. thanks. by the way, you know Hagen Daaz is a made up name, made in New Jersey to found like Scandinavian, but no way. Just pure American marketing… funnY! I bet most Japanese think it’s really from Scandinavia, they make such good ice cream!
May 14th, 2007 at 6:02 pmI read the news in Japanator.com already. Each bed costs 330,000 yen is very expensive. So it should be high class bed promotion event.
Before, I had believed Hagen Daaz was Danish or something until I was informed by CBS 60 Minutes on TV program aired in Japan. Yes, Hagen Daaz was a made up name, made in New Jersey by pure American marketing. But it doesn’t matter since they make such good ice creams.
I once met a Russian guy who had believed Sony was an excellent Russian company because he saw lots of Sony products in Russia. It happens something like that.
May 14th, 2007 at 7:21 pmEmbarrassed admission: when I was lived in Anchorage, Alaska, it was the first time I noticed a lot of Subarus driving around. “Man,” I thought (and said – ack!), “that Subaru dealership guy must be really good if he sold these many cars!”
Of course, someone eventually pointed out to me that Subarus are the only non-SUVs that offer 4-wheel drive as standard equipment (and you need that stuff on icy, cold Alaskan streets).:oops:
I also noticed that a lot more were driving around Montreal streets after the Ice Storm of ‘98. I was just *waiting* for someone to say something about a really good Subaru salesman – at which point I would gently and only slighly condescendingly lay out the explanation. But it never happened. Damned it.
Hagen Daaz = good. Ben & Jerrys = gooder.

May 15th, 2007 at 10:36 amBetty Woo, “when I was lived” or “gooder” is Quebec English ? (Instead of “when I was living” or “better”). It’s interesting to know. “I was lived” is a French like grammar. Do you have “goodest”, too ? I am a little relieved to know being not the only one who writes unnatural English.
“Subaru” is the Japanese word of “Pleiades” consists of a big star accompanied by 5 small stars. You can see them in Subaru logo mark. (Vehicles of Subaru are manufactured by Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.)
