Cookie Slogans

I love cookie boxes in Korea! Sometimes the slogans are translated into English, which is a real treat. They make every cookie sound like it was baked by angels in God's kitchen, and sent to earth to give us an other-worldly experience.

Here are a few examples:

Walnut Cookie Bars: "The walnut cake, just what you have wanted. Taste harmony of tender feeling and savory walnut. This cake will lead you to sweet time." (Come again? The CAKE will lead me???)

Chocolate Cookie Bars: "It's a special gift only for you who are so romantic and luxury." (sounds like they're selling bubble bath or lingerie right? Nope - cookies!!)

Chocolate Cookies: "Your joyful biscuit! Just to everyone's liking at your home - children and adults all alike." (can't you just picture your 'joyful biscuit' smiling at you as you eat it?)

I love it!
