Making a show in "Vincenzo" and "Hometown Cha Cha Cha" Eating Kopiko candy is like drinking a hot, steaming cup of coffee.

Have you ever wondered what those sticks in yellow paper were?

Well, college students actually eat them a lot as a snack.

Even in K-dramas, you can see a lot of college students eating these cheese sausages.

Maxim Instant Coffee

In any K-drama about an office, the main characters will definitely make themselves a cup of coffee at some point, but what kind of coffee mix are they using?

The famous gold coffee from Maxim! The trick is to use the package as a stir stick!

Banana milk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krDrZdIoYGE&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=1%EB%B6%84%EB%93%9C%EB%9D%BC%EB%A7%88%EB%AA%A8%EC%9D%8Czip

Banana milk is not only Jungkook's favorite drink from BTS, but it's also the drink of choice for many characters in K-dramas.

Tteokbokki

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=75&v=C49bANvimgs&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MzY4NDIsMjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=SWeinVirtualTourGallery

If these characters aren't eating ramen, they're probably eating tteokbokki, and who can blame them?

The sweet, savory, and spicy red sauce is poured over the soft, chewy rice cakes. Just look at how much Shin Hari and Jin Yeong Seo liked to eat tteokbooki in "Business Proposal."

Fish Bread (Bungeoppang)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shqwilmeoio&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=MBCdrama

Kim Hye Jin says, "I want some fish bread" while talking to her boyfriend on the phone.

The next thing she knows, Ji Sung Joon is at her door with a bag of fresh, hot, steaming fish bread.

Korean Red Ginseng

Ginseng extract is known to be good for your health, so some of your favorite K-drama characters, especially in "Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food" and "Uncontrollably Fond!", will often drink it.

Strawberry Milk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFw5GIf6zmg&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=DoniKim

Right now, banana milk gets most of the attention, but strawberry milk is just as tasty.

Plus, it has a pretty light pink color that makes it even more fun to drink.

Kkokkalcorn

What are these weird crackers in the shape of a cone that people in K-dramas eat with their fingers?

They are corn snacks that are puffed up.

Try these instead of popcorn the next time you binge-watch a K-drama. They are light and crisp.
