We all know it's never good to judge a book by it's cover,
but since no one reads books anymore,
except "Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality."
- Boom. - Who cares.
So what about judging snacks by their packaging.
It's time for snackaging. Korean food edition.
Yeah, snackaging is a word we made up.
It's when you look at snack packaging
and decide, uh, what something is
and whether or not you're going to like it.
And it's a lot more fun if it's in a language
that you do not understand.
And then today that is Korean.
So let's bring in the first one.
All right.
Oh-- first of all anything that's got a--
this is sardine can, but then it looks like pretzels.
Or it looks like what's inside there
is pretzels but I would think that this is--
Why would you keep pretzels in a--
- in an aluminum can. - No, I know what this is.
This is something.
It's a cross section of something that grows like that.
A natural plant product that grows like this,
and I'm gonna say that I am not going to like it,
but there's only one way to find out now.
I'm going to say that we're still going to eat it...
- Yeah, it's by eating it. - in order to see if you're right.
Yeah, there's no way I'm gonna like anything in a tin can
that looks like a pretzel.
Ooh, my goodness.
Rhett: Yeah, oh, you know what?
- It's got sesame seeds. - It's tomatoes.
It's-- that is not a tomato.
- It's a tomato, man. - You're right, it is a cross-section of something.
A lot of soy sauce.
- Very thick. - It's not bad.
Not bad, very savory.
Very salty savory.
- Okay, what is this? - This is not candy.
Woman:
and the translation of the text on the front
translates to, "My mommy,Yeon Gun, Joe Rim-- "
- Joe Rim? - Woman: Joe Rim.
My momma, Yeon Gun, Joe Rim.
Yeah, my mommy's into Joe Rim.
Not bad, guys. I would say we were wrong about this one.
Yeah, I would eat that.
- Wrong about that one. - You know, if I was in a pinch.
Ooh, this one's frozen.
Or... cold.
It looks like little pink wieners
with yellow stuff coming out of it.
- Oh, come on, Link. - Yellow oozing.
Um, I think it's ice cream with some kind of pudding inside of it.
- Oh, potato. It's ice cream-- - That's a yam.
With a yam paste inside of it and I'm going to like it.
It's a-- what are those little smokeys called?
It's a purple little smokey.
With yam in it.
- Oh, wow. - I think I might like it too.
Mm, I like it. It's not ice cream.
It's sweet on the inside.
Now, I've eaten Korean pizza
and they have this same Yam stuff in the crust
- and it's amazing. - It's cheesy.
It's got some cheesiness to it.
No, it's just yam. What is it?
Because it's great.
Woman:
- Especially like a little bun. - It's not frozen when you eat it.
Ah. It's very good. Okay, next one.
Ooh, I love these little things made for kids,
but then they have adults on the front.
Oh, it's from Kwangdong.
- Mmm. - Kwangdong makes it.
If Kwangdong makes it, I'm into it.
That's what I've learned so far about Kwangdong.
You just suck on the end of it.
Look how happy she is, though.
Link: It's got the-- I can--
the only thing I can read on this is 500.
Well, and Dong. I can read that.
Um, she's so surprised.
I'm gonna love this.
Oh, it says C. It's a vita--
This is a vitamin C immunity shot from Kwangdong.
I'm gonna open this up.
Citrus-- it's citrusy.
- Gotta be citrusy. - We're gonna love it, right?
Yeah.
- Ooh, I-- - I was right.
- It's just juice. - It's incredibly citrusy.
It's-- oh, but it's not-- it's like a mango juice.
- What is this? - No, it's orangey.
Woman:
- Frozen Via? - Frozen energy drink.
Woman: Vita.
That-- that's good, and you know what?
- It's collapsible. - Is it good?
And good for fitting in pockets.
From Kwangdong. Not a sponsor.
Here's another package.
Kwangdong, if you're interested in sponsoring us, let's talk.
Now this one-- this looks like
a fancy shmancy granola packaging thing,
but on the back--
oh, it's-- it's...
it's tea bags.
It's a special-- it's a specialty tea.
Is it a tea or is it a soup in a bag?
Uh... you know what? It makes broth for a soup.
And, um, I feel as if I'm going to enjoy this.
Yeah, I don't think there'd be anything bad about this.
Let's try it.
So, it's-- it's a soup made...
in a tea bag type of a scenario.
- Don't smell it. - ( laughter )
You're not gonna like it.
Ooh, it's not-- it smells like insects.
It smells like someone's bait bucket at the pier,
- that they left. - ( laughter )
You know, they finished and they were like,
- "I'll just leave that for the-- - Maybe it smells bad
and tastes good.
( slurping )
- Nope, tastes bad too. - Nope.
Uh, seaweed. It's got-- It's a seaweed soup.
- Seaweed tea soup. - Seaweed soup.
Woman:
- Once I know that... - That's a crab?
There's some crab happening in there,
I'm a fan of crabs...
Does that-- smell the bags straight...
- Does that not smell just like somebody's bait? - in my mouth.
- Yes. - They could probably use this as bait.
and turn the whole sea into crab flavored soup.
There's an idea.
Great for the environment. ( laughs )
Okay, what we learned today is,
snackaging ain't easy.
No, it's not. Stick around to watch us dissect a frog.
