Still haven’t tried the fabled Honey Butter chips?

Their precursor, a snack called Happy Butter chips by Japanese manufacturer Calbee, has arrived for sale in Los Angeles’ Korean markets.

A representative for H Mart in Koreatown’s Madang Plaza said Haitai’s crazed-about chips — which experienced explosive popularity in South Korea last year, bags going as far as fetching $50 a pop on eBay — were inspired by Happy Butter and taste similar.

The market allows purchases of two bags per person.

    yes..I like the basic concepts behind Second Life but it seems incredibly outdated and when I played it was intensely non-intuitive / user friendly to an extent that made EVE look like a game for toddlers. thanks from
