Korean Snack

So, I picked up this Korean Snack (that is the actual name on the box) with two burning questions in mind: Does this snack actually look like drumsticks? and Does it…taste like chicken?

Before I could get answers, though, I had to get past a pissed-off chicken. It kind of looks like it’s saying, “I’ll huff and I’ll puff and…” oh wait, wrong animal.

And these two sinister-looking characters were up to no good, I tell ya.

Anyway, I opened the box and what did I see?

Well, I’m not sure because I can’t read Korean. But the “Wanted” sign is pretty universal, is it not?

Okay, okay, about the snack. Miniature drumsticks, indeed.

They were quite bland, actually, and didn’t taste like chicken (the list of ingredients didn’t include chicken-anything). Crunchy blandness, I guess.

I could taste some spice and that’s about it. A disappointment in taste but not in looks. I’d rather have something tasty.


Aw, but it looks so cute and funny! Promises dashed to pieces I guess. Is it just fried dough then?
Chicken legs that don’t taste like chicken? That’s not right.
Lian: I don’t know exactly how this snack is ‘prepared’; I just know it’s bland. I was expecting more from Nong Shim, the company who makes the snack, because it also makes my favorite instant noodles—spicy seafood udon with seaweed.
Pokid: I know! I thought I’d see chicken-something listed as an ingredient, but nope. Kind of odd.
