| My friend noted it's probably because of difference in the way Koreans consume snacks vs North Americans. In North America, an open box of cookies won't last long. We'd eat a whole box at once. In Korea, a mother might break open the box, issue one cookie per person at the table and the box might have to last a week. Hence, the cookies need to be wrapped individually for longer freshness. |
Surely you jest! Koreans chow down on snacks like they'll never see another. |
Today. The packaging hasn't necessarily kept up. |

wow. that's a helluva lot of food!
that's close to what my family of 3 ate in a month.
$500+ a week on food? wtf are they hooking it up to an IV and pumping it into their bodies 24/7?!
also noticed all the coke (and all the booze with the germans).
as to packaging in korea and japan, i think that it has to due with the humidity. if you have things individually wrapped, and you open one package in the summer, everything else is safe.
if you have a package like back in the states, things go stale fast.
when i get cookies from my mom, i pass as much out as possible, because any that are left in the box for more than 2 weeks start going bad... |

Re: packaging.
Get your meal to go at McD's and you'll see what wasteful packaging is all about.
1 cola, two lids, two pieces of tape. In a small bag.
1 serving of french fries. In a bag.
1 burger. In a bag.
1 large bag to hold all the small bags.
And sometimes, but not always, one big plastic bag to hold the large paper bag. |
