    Those have been around for some time. Blue sugary outside with what tastes like a raspberry syrup on the inside. They are quite tasty. My son’s favorite.

    I would love a Jaws without the red syrupy thing inside.

    Jaws was there when I was a kid in Korea so been there at least 15 years.

    I prefer the white one.

    Isn’t the white one a cheap knockoff that you find in those little stores near elementary schools?

    Might I ask where you got the photo from, Mr. Elgin?

    Almost all of the toys my brother-in-law buys for my son are purchased at those little stores. And almost all of them are broken. Imagine that!

    However, it is hard to beat Korean ice cream in terms of value. I bought some ice cream bars from a truck in Vancouver last summer - I think they were more than $10 for five! A similar purchase in Korea would have run me no more that W 3500.

    Try at the Vancouver aquarium. More like 10$ for 2.

    A convenience store in my neighborhood sells the Jaws for 1/2 price. 250won apiece.

    Robert, I took the photo in a local GS25. I had help with the props though (thanks kid). My little Olympus D-100 is a toy compared to the nice camera you are using nowadays, too.

    It’s not that syrupy, though. Just slightly softer than the outer layer.

    A Jaws bar… a summertime treat that I miss so much!
