I was shopping in a corner store with my wife once when I spotted a small ramyeon sized container of pepero sticks. What caught my attention was the name of the product: Dick Sticks. :| At least they got the English right though. I figured those would be a collectors item so I bought a batch.
Fortunately a Naver blog entry from July provides pictures and a taste test:
Melts in your mouth, not in your hand... or was that the other way around?

ReplyDeletethe name is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteWow, I prompted a blog entry. ^^ Sweet!
ReplyDeleteHonestly though, they were pretty good but the name...how on earth did they come up with that one? I just can't fathom it.
Maybe I should start a Korean fast food snack back home? Maybe a chocolate bar called 동? I wonder what kind of reaction that would prompt. ^^
Useless sidenote: the pack I bought had a black background compared to the red one pictured but this picture is still worth a thousand words!
Mark: 똥. I fear the Revised Romanization system has steered you wrong. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, what is the basis for the first part of this name? No dictionaries involved, it seems.

Finally got photographic evidence of the "Funny Cock" restaurant:

@ Kushibo, I stand corrected.
ReplyDelete@ Holterbarbour - nice catch. I suppose a pure Korean might miss the other meaning of cock there, so at least that one is passable...;)
