Have you guys looked inside your sims' fridges?
seelindarun:
I'm quite sure the Korean references reflect the Korean community as it exists in California. In markets there, kimchi is commonly sold in glass or plastic jars, although I've seen it in vacuum-packed plastic bags, too.
As for the uni scholarship, it is a common stereotype (again, mostly in southern California) that Koreans are OCD regarding personal and household cleanliness. I don't doubt that the scholarship was named after an employee, but I don't think it was an accident that the Kim scholarship is for hygiene. ;)
staroverthebay:
In-game, those look like candies to me, not kimchi, but to each their own. I think they reuse the textures on the bottles in the door.
seelindarun:
It wouldn't bother me to be wrong about the kimchi, and I wasn't trying to be critical of your observation. That's just what came into my head when I saw it, because I've seen it commonly kept in fridges, whereas I usually store my candy corn in the cupboard. ;D
veilchen:
I think you're right, Staroverthebay. If they didn't, those bottles look remarkably similar.
It's also very true that it is akin to torture for the poor sims to have it in the fridge and not being able to drink it. So near, yet so far.

Ugh. If only that were true. I've had a few Korean roommates who seemed hellbent on destroying such stereotypes. ;D
