Gold Gum from Lotte
Jason Kuznicki on May 24th 2004
From BoingBoing, we learn that Korean retail chain Lotte is giving away a solid-gold replica of its “Green Gum” packs. I’ve blogged about Lotte in the past, but if you didn’t all know this, it might sound like I was lying when I say that I’m chewing Green Gum right this minute. It’s no lie; I really am.
(BTW, BoingBoing errs in calling Lotte a Japanese gum company…. Those of us who live in central Maryland know that Lotte is much, much more!)
Update: Is Lotte Korean (www.lotte.com) or Japanese (lotte.co.jp)? I don’t read either language and can’t find anything in English on either of these sites. I’d always assumed it was Korean because of the one I visit, which is heavily tilted toward Korean products.
