just saw this @ tensuke a few days ago...
the ad says something to the effect of:
american campaign, much thanks, and then i don't get the 4 character kanji written on the green background... i think it's something about "complete rice" being best, but of course, that's a Chinese interp of Kanji...
IIRC, it was an ad for cheap rice...

The four kanji characters mean "cheapest in the U.S." We Japanese use the characters "rice" and "country" to mean the U.S., the land of plenty.
