I lied.

But:  if you have always wondered what would happen if you crossed the frozen qualities of a popsicle with the packaging of a Capri Sun and the cap from a tube of toothpaste, well, then, Korea may be for you. The picture above is actually half full, because it was a hot day and I ate half of it before it occurred to me to take a photograph. The actual kiwi popsicle bag thing is much more plump and luscious.

The above quiescently frozen confection is one of my favorites, although nokcha ice cream (in the traditional popsicle shape) retains the top spot. Note:  nokcha is also delicious on patbingsu AND samgyeopsal. I would probably eat it on batteries. Not all frozen treats come in bag form, of course, but the one above is also available in coffee and vanilla flavors. I don’t recommend them. Stick with the kiwi.
