Comments about snacks I've eaten so far in Korea.
Banana puffs- So during orientation, I stopped at the convenience store before going upstairs to meet Abbi at night. I had seen people eating ice cream earlier so I was mainly looking for that. Halfway to the register with normal ice cream cups in the hand I remembered that Abbi had wanted to try some Korean chips of some sort. I grabbed a bag of what looked like potato sticks or something and headed upstairs. The bag had a little explorer dude on it and just looked kinda funky so I thought it would be a fun thing to try. As soon as I got

Something like granola...I'm not sure what Oanda is, but
that's what the package says it is. |
upstairs Abbi took a look at the bag and said "these are banana flavored." At the top of the bag there was a little picture of a monkey swinging on a vine, and while this may have indicated the possibility of a banana flavored snack, I wasn't sold on it. Abbi then proceeded to sound the hangul on the front out loud to me. It spelled Ba-na-na. I felt pretty dumb. Fake banana flavor isn't my favorite so I only had a couple but Abbi finished the bag. Its just like eating a cheeto or cheese puff except it tastes like gross fake banana.
Kimbap triangles- I've wanted to eat Kimbap triangles ever since I saw a video of someone eating one about a year ago. Basically it's just a triangle of rice with some kind of filling in the middle. Either mayo+tuna, spicy-tuna, or some kind of meat. They are then wrapped in seaweed. There is some kind of plastic wrap around them that can only be taken off by pulling a tab down the middle and pulling the two sides of the plastic triangle away from each other. If you try anything else the seaweed rips. We ate a couple during orientation and I've been having them for breakfast before school. They probably aren't very good for me, but I've been enjoying them.

Why didn't anyone think of this before!?

Fish shaped ice cream bar- During our long bus ride from orientation to Daegu we made several stops at those highway rest areas. At one of them we went inside and looked through the ice cream case. Yes it was before twelve, and yes I'd eaten a frozen milkshake in a bag only an hour or two earlier but we didn't care. It was hot and ice cream was needed. Abbi picked out an ice cream bar that looked to be shaped like a fish, with some kind of coating on the outside and caramel and vanilla ice cream in the middle. Upon opening the bag it turned out the coating was actually made of the same stuff as those waffle cones at home that are flat on the bottom so you can stand them up. Soft serve usually comes in them. I donno the "official" name but whatever. Any it was actually pretty good. The cone stuff wasn't very crunch but I thought it added something to the ice cream anyway.
