매직팝 (Magic Pop) Korean Snack 

One rice pop is as big as a single-serve salad plate.

Somewhat bigger than a CD, so it's probably right to say that it's wider than 한예슬 Han Ye Seul's face.

Product Name: Magic Pop 매직팝... It's probably because it magically pops out from a machine like a flying saucer or a frisbee. As a matter of fact, it was the popping sound that attracted me to check out the Magic Pop stall in the first place... okay, okay.... also the "free taste" area and because it claimed to be a Korean snack. ^^;; By the way, don't confuse 팝 ("pop" in hangul) and 밥 (meaning "rice" in Korean), they  also sound different.

Hole in the Pocket: Php 39.00 

First Impression: It looked like those Japanese rice cookies. Upon reading Magic Pop 매직팝... I found myself singing inside my head in the tune of f(x) / Big Bang feat. 2NE1's "Lollipop". Instead of saying "lollipop", of course I changed it to "magic pop". Oh gosh, there's also Hyuna's "Bubble Pop". The Magic Pop stall also plays on loop a video of Jan Di from Boys Over Flowers selling Magic Pop on the street (Yeah! That proves that it's a Korean snack...^o^). Here's a facebook page dedicated to it.

Taste buds Say: It's crunchy and light. By light I mean, not too salty or sweet, it's just the right sweetness and saltiness combined. You can actually be heard munching on it even from 5 feet away, so avoid eating it in a quiet place where you'll most likely make an echo or be clearly heard (e.g. church, classroom, cave, theater, etc). Magic Pop is something to keep one's mouth busy on nibbling and because it's not deep fried or loaded with flavoring, it's a healthier choice (low calorie and zero oil) compared to sodium-rich junk foods. However, if you're looking forward to feeling full... this is not the snack for you.

Reminds me of: Kettle Corn's Sweet and Salty Twister popcorn to a lesser extent. 

K-Rating: 4/5... not bad, not bad at all.
