So if you grew up in Korea, or have been living here for a long time, a lot of the stuff at
-
a local GS25, which is just a convenience store, is gonna seem pretty normal to you,
-
but to us foreigners a lot of the stuff there is exciting, bizarre, and new. So we're about
-
to raid our GS25 for all the things we've never tried before and taste test them to
-
tell you what's good, what's bad and what's weird. Let's go!
-
Okay. So we're starting with the bagged snacks today, and the first one we're gonna do is
-
the Jolly Pong. We actually got this recommendation from a viewer, so, here we go: Jolly Pong!
-
And it looks like popped corn, except without the frill around the outside...........and
-
it's actually really good, really sweet. If you've ever had Sugar Crisps before, it's
-
what they taste like: "Can't get enough of that suuugarr criiiisp" It's almost like cotton
-
candy in your mouth; it's very, very soft and melts in your mouth, and very, very sweet.
-
Very good. Try it out. Jolly Pong. I'm pretty sure this would be really good with milk also.
-
Oh yeah!
-
The next on our list is egg cookie. So we're not sure if it's a chip or a cookie. We will
-
soon find out. Looks like...smells like a cookie. Mmmm? Mmmm! It tastes like a vanilla
-
cookie, actually. Mmm! Mmmm! Wow!
-
Next on the list is Gogoma gang? Gogoma means sweet potato. Gang means...I don't know! But
-
I'm gonna try it anyways so, here we go. Looks like a...dehydrated french fry. Very glossy.
-
It's very sweet, it's almost like a...potato chip meets a cookie. It's not bad. It's not
-
great. I would definitely go for the Jolly Pong above this...but it's not terrible. Alright!
-
Next on our list is Premium Home Run Ball. Comes in a little plastic container. Smells
-
like cheese. A little...bread puff. Why do I get the bad ones? Ummm. Maybe you can see.
-
The flavor to best describe this is peanut butter cheese. I think...Simon (No!) It's
-
pretty good (No! I'll pass). Ummm. I'm personally not a fan of peanut butter and cheese together.
-
If you like peanut butter and cheese together, you should go for the Home Run Ball.
-
Next thing we're trying is the Corn Cho. Now, it looks really interesting. Looks like a
-
cheesy puff covered with chocolate. Ugggh. Here we go! So let's give it a shot. Ummm?
-
The corn puff dissolved almost instantly leaving you nothing with a film of corn on your teeth
-
and then some mushy chocolate on your tongue. Umm. It's not great. It's not terrible, but
-
it's not for me. I'm not going to get this again.
-
Next up is a very famous Korean Snack. It is roasted squid. Okay. You can get this on
-
the street actually, being cooked fresh. Here we go. So this is Ojingo. It's been roasted.
-
And it also comes with...a little sauce! I'm pretty sure this is Gochujang. So just like...hot
-
red pepper paste. Alright. I'm gonna try it first without the sauce. Maybe I took too
-
much, with that bite. Now, it has the texture of beef jerky: a little bit tougher. And basically
-
just tastes like, fried fish. I don't mind it. Some people I think would be really grossed
-
out but if you get the chance definitely try it. I'm gonna try it with the gochujang. Mmm!
-
Mmm! Really good with the gochujang. Simon! mmm. MMMM! (Really good with the gochujang)
-
Yeah. Really good. Don't be scared by it. There's all different kinds to choose from.
-
We got the cheapest kind, GS25 brand. Don't be afraid! Try the roasted and delicious Ojingo.
-
It's good. Mmm!
