VERMONT CURRY(tm), an authentic Japanese meal?

There’s nothing more authentic than Japanese VERMONT CURRY(tm).

What I cannot figure out is why this Japanese company markets “curry” from Vermont, New England. I’ve never have thought of eating traditional Vermont curry containing apple byproducts. Anyway, see House Foods’ fun curry TV commercial about chasing away the rainy season that is going on now. In Japan with a“teruterubozu” is a traditional children’s hangman-like effigy (in Japanese: テルテルぼ~ず).
'Teruterubozu' hangman-like effigy As children in English-speaking world might chant “rain-rain-go-away-come-again-another-day”, Japanese kids make teruterubozu and hang them out to hope for sunny weather—-especially during June-July the rainy season here.
