    Actually, you'll notice a lot of 'confectionary' are Lotte products, a Korean company. They oft change the names of the products to suit local demand, but they still originated in Korea. Korea has likewise stolen a number of confectionary product ideas from Japan. There was a really interesting show on this a few years back in which they asked guests to guess which was which, and what the difference was. The Japanese guests in EVERY case said the product was Japanese (Hai-chu, etc.), but they were wrong in 70% of the cases. Fact is, Japan ripped off the product and changed the picture slightly to avoid penalties. Again, Korea has done the same in some cases, but far less, it seems.

    Wow, that's some interesting stuff. Thanks

    Not surprised by the poll results btw.
