There is such a group of people in South Korea. Even if the temperature is minus ten degrees Celsius, even if it is already snowing heavily, they are still wearing down jackets and holding ice Americans in their hands. This is the "American people who have to drink ice Americans even if they are frozen to death" ~
If there are ten unsolved mysteries in South Korea, then "Why do Koreans love to drink ice Americans so much" must be among the top.
00 Korean girl group member Taeyeon once joked that many Koreans would carefully read the menu when they went to a beverage store, but they would still say, "Hello, please give me an American."
First of all, Koreans love coffee very much. American style is far ahead of many types of coffee, and ice American style defeats hot American style with an overwhelming gap to become the leader.
Almost half of the Koreans holding coffee in their hands are ice-American, and the other half is a mixture of other types of coffee.
As the weather gets colder, Koreans who simply love to drink ice American style have also developed into "drink ice American style even if they freeze to death" - "얼어 죽어도 아이스 아메리카노", abbreviated as "얼죽아".
"얼죽아" first appeared on Twitter in December 2018, and then became a popular word with the spread of the Internet and was mentioned every winter.
There are more than a few hundred thousand posts on Instagram with the tag #얼죽아#. Many netizens said, "Even if the weather is cold, my life cannot be without ice American style." ~
even appeared online. There is "Drink ice American Association even if you freeze to death". It is said that there is another president~
Last month, a news broadcast by KBS TV made the whole Korean Americans who have to drink ice even to death.
KBS said in the 9 o'clock news that day that the KBS said that heavy snow would occur in various parts of the capital area, including Seoul, on the 18th, and the appearance of citizens walking on snowy streets will be broadcast as a material screen.
Among them, there were two people wearing long black down jackets holding ice Americans in their hands and want to drink ice Americans even if they are frozen to death. One of the young ladies was worried that snowflakes would fall into the straw, so they even put an umbrella for ice Americans with their hands~
Han netizens who saw this scene said: "As a member of the American Association, I am very pleased to drink ice Americans even if they are frozen to death, "This is definitely a member of the American Association. Honorary member of the Drinking Ice American Association", "Can her hands automatically heat up?", "It turns out that drinking Ice American even if you freeze to death is not a legend", "It's simply Aisha in Frozen"...
According to the survey, based on December last year, according to statistics from South Korea's domestic coffee chain restaurants and catering industry, the sales proportion of ice beverages far exceeds that of hot beverages. Information published by Starbucks, South Korea also shows that the sales proportion of ice coffee beverages accounts for 64% of the total sales.
On an online forum where self-employed businesses gathered, a coffee shop in Hwacheng, Gyeonggi Province said: "Our home is a coffee shop mainly iced beverages. The weather has become cold recently, but 90% of customers will still buy iced beverages when they come to the store. I was worried that sales would decrease, but now I feel relieved."
Another coffee shop owner also said: "It's obviously trembling cold, but customers still order iced American styles, and even confirm whether it's iced. I'm surprised every time."
. The increasingly large group of people who want to drink iced even if they are frozen to death, Korean experts expressed concern about their health.
Experts say drinking cold drinks in cold winters will cause a drop in body temperature, which can easily lead to abnormal health: "When the weather is cold, the body should be warmed up in order to maintain body temperature. If the body temperature is too low, the body's basal temperature regulation center will become confused, so that immunity will decrease, and bacteria or viruses will easily penetrate from the outside.”
In addition, there are experts who say that ice drinks faster than hot drinks, so they should drink ice Americans intake more caffeine than ordinary people who have frozen to death: “Caffeine will cause hypersympathetic nerves and cause problems with sleep patterns, so it is best not to consume a lot of caffeine. "
In summary, it is "Although ice American is addicted, please don't drink it." I wonder if there are people who also want to drink ice Americans even if they are frozen to death?
