Pizza Originates in Me!

I posted it before on My Life is Hetalia because it was not hetalia-related (yet). A Korean pizza company made a gag commercial in which they joked that pizza originated in Korea.

The youtube comments are kind of off-base with some slow people thinking Koreans were serious. I think Yong-Soo ought to be commended for his ability to poke fun at himself (not very nice to make fun of Chinese peeps at the beginning though :( )

To my surprise, Himaruya actually referred to it in his latest blog post comic strip! (Thanks zacloud for pointing out Hima's latest entry) I'm wondering how he got wind of it? He either keeps tabs on every internet meme or someone sent him a link???

P.S. Hong Kong has penis-shaped churros? Are they something like Taiwan's penis-shaped hot dogs?

P.S.S. Some cartoon Hong Kong food for those interested, courtesy of AppetiteforChina. I'm not from Hong Kong but I am quite familiar with all the foods depicted :D

Edit: I posted this before in the past but can't resist posting them again because they are so cute. Toy miniatures of Hong Kong food.

OMG I think I actually saw those hotdogs at Fengjia... Didn't buy one though.

But man... props to Yong Soo for sure :DD

I think you should comment on the entry instead of posting a new one, but thanks for the information. I was wondering why there was a penis-like thing there.

Night market is an eye opener regardless of which Chinese-speaking Region you go to, let it be Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau.
Seriously.

For some reason I can't read your reply, but the plasticizer in Taiwan food has been all taken care of, they say. And then again... But the nice thing is that the food is very affordable (generally) everywhere in Taiwan (and Asia, I would assume, but I'm not sure)

And not to sound like a weirdo, but did you know I love love love duck blood? xD

Ooooh, so that's where the pizza comment was from xDD I should stop reading YT comments though...so racist.

Hmm, I've been to Hong Kong Disney, but I don't remember the churros there looking phallic...unless I wasn't looking close enough.
