I don’t know why it took me so long to try banana milk: I love banana flavored things (like ice cream) and I have a bunch of friends raving about how great it is. Maybe I didn’t want to succumb to banana milk’s siren call because, deep down, I knew what my reaction would be.
Well, succumb I did. On my last day in Seoul, as I stood waiting around for my bus to Jeonju, I decided to pop into the nearest convenience store and try it.
At my first sip, I almost cried with regret. Why have I been avoiding this amazing drink for so long? From that point on, I decided to make it my mission to try every flavor of banana milk I could find.
By the end of my time in Seoul, I had tried three flavors: original, strawberry, and something that translated to pumpkin and/or sweet potato. There was another flavor I ran into but couldn’t translate properly.
One reason I like banana milk is how constant it is. It’s in every convenience store I walked into, even if not all the possible flavors were present. The price was always constant too, no matter where I was, from a random store on the street to one found inside the airport: a basic 1,400 won.
Besides being ubiquitous, banana milk is just plain delicious. Creamy, not overly sweet, with just a tinge of banana flavor, banana milk is an awesome treat. Honestly, I need to control my cravings, or I’m going to drink myself an extra 10 pounds.
