Curry flavoured shampoo ... Anyone ?

I love to gossip and without doubt Koffee with Karan happens to be one of my all time favourite show. With the fourth season on air, either by hook (dish TV) or crook (you tube) I manage to catch the show every week.

Now that’s the factual part of today post and for the intriguingly silly part, and it certainly has to something with my little one and KK4. Smera is at a stage where this chat show is just not interesting or in her words, is not funny! But she loves to watch the ads that come in between the chat show. That too should be a no-brainer as that is really the aim every marketers want to achieve.

No matter how far she is or how engrossed she is in her play, she would run and come to watch a particular ad that comes in between show. The ad I am referring to here is Forest Essentials also happens to be one of the main sponsors of the show. If you have not seen the ad as yet, then this would just be right time to see and continue reading.



For the first few times, Smera watched this video with great attention. It made wonder what is about this particular ad that Smera is so intrigued about. After watching the ad over and over the last few weeks, she asked me a question

Smera: Mamma what are they cooking in the forest?
Me: Hmm (with great effort), maybe they are making a shampoo
Smera: No, I think they are making a chicken curry in the tree!
Me: Yes that could be, looks like these tribal girls are making chicken curry!

Maybe they aimed at making this as an extremely exotic and natural product but to a three year old, it came across as some girls in the jungle making chicken curry in a tree.


Good or bad, it did leave an impression and here I am talking about it, a classic case of a imperfect recall value!

  3. Haha even I don't understand some of these ads. You have to keep guessing as to what they are actually selling :) Even my kiddo loves the ads that come between shows.
