The strange thing about Orion's Choco-Pie is how soft it is. From the pictures on the box and packet, you'd think it tastes like two cookies with a marshmallow filling, something like a s'more (a toasted marshmallow squashed between 2 graham crackers and half a bar of chocolate). In reality, however, choco-pies are not like that.
As you can tell looking at the photo above on the far right showing the actual inside of a choco-pie, there is no separation of the cookie and marshmallow filling as shown on the packaging. When you bite into a choco-pie, it has a foamy texture. It tastes like the cookie (actually cake) and marshmallow creme are mixed together. Furthermore, there isn't much chocolate flavor, even though the choco-pie is coated with chocolate.
Overall I'd rather eat a s'more than a choco-pie, but I think people who are interested in K-dramas should try eating one as a cultural experience.
My aunt used to keep a few in her car as an emergency snack. That's not a bad idea since they are cheap, not too high in calories (120 calories each) and do not melt, despite being coated with chocolate. |
