The burger tasted just as Gummi-ish as typical Gummi candy. I could eat several.

the tiniest meal
I was at the local convenience store, buying my drinks, when I saw a box full of gumball-sized hamburgers, each burger in its own tiny plastic container. The burgers looked like waxy keychain trinkets, but I guessed they were candy. The girl at the counter confirmed this: they were Gummi burgers, she said. I immediately grabbed one, but the girl gave me a dubious look and asked me whether I was sure I wanted to buy one. "Students really like these," she said, implying that I was too old to enjoy such frippery. Responding to the subtext of her remark, I said, "I'm young at heart." She nodded seriously, obviously not sensing my humorous intent.

I'm far from being a hardcore "green", but all that packaging for a single gummi treat seems wasteful...
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Korea, right? It's the land of 90% packaging.
ReplyDeleteThat's adorable.
ReplyDeleteKorea has been making a lot of noise about becoming more green. The individual-packaging craze is one place where improvement is definitely needed. I remember when I first came here I was astounded at how everything was wrapped up. Now I've become desensitized.
