Complete with choo-chow-ching-chong Faque Oriental writing and a fluorescent yellow Oriental. It's now owned by Con Agra and the products have hardly changed: La Choy. And lest you think the taste has changed, here is the ingredients list for the "soy sauce": Water, Salt, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Potassium Sorbate. Yup, it's salty brown dishwater with a side of corn syrup sugar in case you haven't got the diabeetus yet.
