I wonder if there is any interesting history beind those red tubs. The look like Korea's first mass produced modern product and more so, it looks the producers couldn't shut the machine down and it made a few million extras. The tubs are used to make kim-chi, wash babies and wash clothes. I think the Koreans think alot of their red tubs.

they were made red years ago to symbolize the collection of Japanese blood after the end of the occupation. They kept the color to support the Red Devils, but today, deep down inside their hearts, it's red to collect the blood of the Japanese and the Americans.
