Is Orion getting advice from the Korean Convenience Store Owners of America on how to improve the bottom line? |

Some nice math from the article: "The fabricated products worth 622 million won ($6,000)..."
Meanwhile I handed out this exact product to my students as rewards on numerous occasions. "Good job girls. Here, have some rotten wormy chocolate." They loved it. |

It was Hershey's Miniature Special Dark- some of the worst stuff Hershey's makes.
My students love Hershey's chocolate, too- especially Cookies and Cream- that can be purchased at Costco. |

Orion isn't the only company that changes expiry dates on the products, of course.
A lot of companies do that, especially now when the economy isn't so hot. |

I remember when that bar in Itaewon (Nashville? Seoul Pub?) got shut down a few years back for "expired" salt or pepper or whatever it was that was alledgedly expired.
What kind of punishment will Orion see, seeing as how it is on a much larger scale? Nothing. To punish them would harm Korea's economy, and they can't have that. |

| In case some of you don't know, Hershey's makes some great stuff that's not available in Korea like- Mr. Goodbar, Krackel, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. |

I may have the details mis-remembered, but essentially yes. |

I think that is code for, "Didn't pay their bribes". |
