Direct mp4 download or play:  La Choy Soy Sauce

In the early 1970s, preparing Chinese food was still considered “exotic” by a good number of Americans, and the gooey canned variety was the only way to go. It’s obvious that Beatrice Foods was trying to make Chinese cooking acceptable in America by hiring Captain Binghamton’s sidekick, Lt. Elroy Carpenter, (Bob Hastings) to dump La Choy on his steak and potatoes meal.
This commercial used to bother me when it was on network TV, and I captured it the same way as “Law Day USA.”

Here are two slightly different views of my Electro-Voice DL-42 shotgun dynamic microphone. I think this model was manufactured in the 1970s. It is similar in appearance to the older 642 which won an Academy Award in 1963 for technical achievement.
