Who is the genius behind these most annoying products?

The triangle kimbap:
Would it be impossible to wrap them up strcitly on the outside of the food? Why do they overlap the wrapper and the kim? Is it a test?

The disposable chopsticks:
How many tmes out of ten do you attempt a clean, even break...two equal sticks... You concentrate, pray,measure and then break them in half and the result is one big fat one and a little splinter for the other one?

Are they made in North Korea or something?

This is exactly why Korea will never become the hub of Asia, my ass.

They wrap them the way that they do so that the kim does not become soggy from contact with the rice.

I find it kind of ingenious, actually.

Why does your ass have anything to do with Korea being the hub of Asia?

I find the triangle kimbaps a real hit and miss affair. Some are just perfect, others have undercooked rice lurking within. I'd say about 20% of mine go straight in the bin as a result.

Stop eating crap food and move up the ladder of life.

Kim bop
O dang
Duk bogi
Instant noodles

Food I have not touched in years.

I could go on, but who gives a rat's ass?

Wanna know the secret to getting an even break every time?

I hate to say this, being Chinese myself and all, but disposable chopsticks are pretty much all made in China...

To OP... there's no science in breaking chopsticks - just hold the very bottom of the chopsticks and break them in half, that usually gives you an even break.
