안녕하세요! 오늘은 한국에서만 볼 수 있는 독특한 아이스크림 이름, *엄마는 외계인 (Mom is an Alien)*의 이야기를 소개하려고 합니다. 이 이름의 숨은 이야기를 들어볼까요?

"엄마는 외계인"은 배스킨라빈스에서 가장 인기 있는 초콜릿 아이스크림 중 하나예요. 그런데 원래 이 아이스크림의 국제적인 이름은 Puss in Boots, 즉 "장화 신은 고양이"였습니다. 그렇다면 왜 한국에서는 "엄마는 외계인"으로 이름이 바뀌었을까요?

2000년대 초반, 배스킨라빈스 코리아는 감동적인 광고를 선보였습니다. 
이 광고에서는 아이가 아빠에게 "엄마는 어디 갔어요?"라고 묻는데요, 아빠는 정확한 답을 주기 어려워 밤하늘의 별을 가리키죠. 
이 광고는 많은 한국 사람들에게 큰 감동을 주었고, 결국 이 아이스크림의 이름도 "엄마는 외계인"으로 바뀌게 되었어요.

이 아이스크림은 세 가지 초콜릿 맛—초콜릿 아이스크림, 초콜릿 퍼지, 초콜릿 칩—으로 구성되어 있어요. 달콤하고 진한 맛이지만, 이름은 조금 슬프고도 따뜻한 감정을 떠올리게 하죠. 이렇게 마케팅에 따라 특별한 이야기와 감성을 담아서 한국 만의 아이스크림인 것 같은 독특한 이름이 탄생했네요.

혹시 여러분도 배스킨라빈스에서 [엄마는 외계인]을 먹어본 적이 있나요? 
아니면 다른 특별한 이름을 가진 한국 음식을 알고 있나요? 댓글로 여러분의 경험을 나눠주세요!

おにぎりがある棚からあるおにぎりが目についた、それは明太子だ。私は漢字が少し読める。
最初の字は[明] 明日や明るいの漢字だ、次は[太]
太いや太陽の漢字だ、最後に[子] 子供や餃子(ぎょうざ)に使われている漢字だ。写真を見ても何か全然わからない。緊張するが店員に聞くことにした。一人の店員がおにぎりの棚の横で新しいサラダの商品を補充していた。その男は若くて長い黒髪を後ろで束ねていた。インナーメッシュをしてあるようで水色の髪が少し耳のあたりから見えた。

私「　すみません、、」
店員A 「はい、」
私「これはなんですか？」
店員A「おにぎりです。」
私「このピンク色の写真の物はなんですか？」
店員A「 明太子　(め•ん•た•い•こ) です。」
私「めんたいこ？？」
店員A「明太子とは魚のたらのたまごです」
私「どんな味ですか？」
店員A「塩の味が強くて、めんたいこの風味があります。」
私「わかりました、買います。どうもありがとうございました！」

私は会話が終わったとたんどっと疲れた。緊張はまだ残っているが、汗ばんだ両手で明太子と梅のおにぎりを一つずつ持ちレジへと向かった。

I noticed a  onigiri from the shelf with onigiri, it is cod roe. I can read a few kanji. The first character is [mei], which means tomorrow or bright, the next is [tai], which means thick or sun, and the last is [ko], which is used for children or gyoza (dumplings). I had no idea what it was even though I looked at the pictures. I was nervous, but decided to ask the staff. One of the staff was restocking new salad items next to the onigiri (rice ball) shelf. The man was young and had long black hair tied back. He seemed to have an inner mesh, and a little bit of his light blue hair was visible around his ears.


I  "Excuse me," 
Staff A  "Yes," 
I "What is this?" 
Staff A  "It's an onigiri." 
I  "What is this pink thing in the picture?" 
StaffA  "It's mentaiko." 
I  "Mentaiko? 
Staff A  "Mentaiko is the egg of cod roe" 
I  "What does it taste like? 
Staff A  "It has a strong salt taste and mentaiko flavor. 
I  "Okay, I will buy it. Thank you very much!" 

I was exhausted as soon as the conversation ended. My nerves were still in place, but with sweaty hands I took one mentaiko and one ume onigiri and headed for the cash register.
