1. Apollo sticks are not junk food!
If, like an amateur, we ate these by chomping into them with our teeth, our friends would make fun of us, asking if we didn’t know the basics of mixing the dust with our fingers. We would get in trouble when the empty straws would be found in our school bags. Long thought of as junk food, the family-owned business underwent a three-month investigation by the food and drug administration. The company’s second-generation President Kim asked why he had to suffer such investigations when bigger companies didn’t have to be subjected to similar speculations. He said that all rice, whether made in a pressure cooker on in a stone pot, was still rice. In 2008, he vowed to only make these treats for two more years but, much to our relief, they are still manufactured and sold today.
