Big Corn!

Nothing else cools you off better on a hot summer’s day.


Ah, the problems that come from going from one language to another and then back to the original. In this case it’s English to Korean and back to English. “Cone” becomes “?” which can be read as “cone” or “corn.”
Oops.

You’d think that it’d be a simple matter to check stuff like this, but as sites like Engrish.com have shown us, it really isn’t. All that aside, it’s a pretty good price for a ice cream cone. 1,000 won comes out to about 85 cents these days. Some vendors even advertise their cones by height. I saw one pushing a 30cm cone the other day – still for the same 1,000 won. I have to wonder though, with as hot and muggy as it gets here, could you really finish a cone that large before it melted all over the place?I may just have to go and find out one of these days….
