|
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? |

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. |

Did you know in Japan it's unlucky to break them equally  |

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. |
