Mother of God … look at those tomatoes!

I read the luscious spread on Doi Kham’s doubtless tasty tomato products, which reminded me that one of these treats has been boldly advertised at various BTS stations for several months now. Oddly, however, for some reason the company’s large ads for Virgin Mary tomato juice are in Thai only. Perhaps it is embarrassed to make its Virgin Mary tomato juice known in English. And since the virgin in question is most famous for being miraculously pregnant, the conspicuously “unfruitful” models used in the campaign don’t quite fit the bill. 
Meanwhile, we look forward to Doi Kham presenting its Allah Almond Milk and Buddha Berry Juice.
