 I thought he spelled and used the word incorrectly. Maybe he just used it incorrectly.  |

The selection of convenience store snacks in Korea are total garbage, chawk full of carbs and sugars, and overly expensive.
The Family Mart's in Japan have products which are nutritionally better with a wider selection.
The only thing I buy in such stores is Vitamin Water.
However, a good rule is to buy your snack or beverage at the supermarket where you'll save 20-50%.
And OP, please be a representative English teacher and use caps on this board. |
is this a joke? this is a joke, right? sit and spin m/f-- you're not the boss of anyone here except yourself (as such)
everyone else thanks for your replies-- hilarious & informative |

| Those ddeokbokki chips that are tube-shaped and sweet and slightly spicy are awesome. Those are awesome, but very unhealthy as they're full of fat. Once the clerk warned me that they'd be very spicy for me and was shocked when I confirmed that I've eaten them before without issue. |

This, dear friends, is what I like to call a Grammar Nazi FAIL. |
Also a nutrition nazi fail.

While I don't agree with Grammar Nazis, it is important to remember that this is, at the very least, a semi-professional website. It is also important to remember that some Koreans monitor this website and tend to exploit our foibles to portray us as unprofessional. Frankly speaking, I wouldn't want my child being taught English by someone who writes in a fashion such as yours. You don't have to be perfect, but at least write beyond an Elementary School level. |

HAHA YES! I was reading about that lawsuit, where Coca Cola actually said that people know that it isn't healthy. Hence the name, right? |

While I usually err on the side of grammar fascism, let's be fair: he is using the double hyphen as em dash (something I do when I'm at work because I don't know the keyboard shortcut on PC). Let's give him due credit. |

Coca Cola's response was hilarious. "Why would people assume our product is good for them?" |

On recent performance you've taken the crown of lamest poster on this board from wylies99 and sojusucks. Tough competition but you seem to have achieved it.
Also, the selection.... are?
