Someone ordered the 18,000 won "1kg" fries and put them on a kitchen scale. The shop said it was the standard amount, so the standard is vibes.

WAIT so the standard for 1kg is a vibe now?? 18,000 won for a bag of optimism 😭
Selling potato by the kilo like it's a deadlift is marketing I respect and distrust at the same time.
Schrödinger's potato until somebody brings a scale. Then it's a crime scene.
In Finland that's a fine for false advertising. Here it's 'the standard'. I admire the confidence.
nobody's fooled and everybody keeps ordering is also how most relationships work
Frying does cook water out of potatoes, so if the 1kg is the raw weight the menu really should say so
the refund getting refused is the part that gets me. at least pretend to care
ok but raw weight vs cooked is a fair point and also the saddest sentence i've read about fries. who sells potato like it's a deadlift
1kg of fries means 1kg of fries. Schrödinger's potato
vibes-based portioning.

In France a portion at least comes in a cone and the cone is honest about being half air. 18,000 won for a bag of optimism is a bold menu.

My father-in-law would have weighed it too, said nothing, and ordered a second bag. Portions in Korea are a negotiation you lose quietly.
weighed it, said nothing, and ordered a second bag?? legend ✨
Portions in Malaysia are a negotiation too, but you lose loudly, to the uncle. Losing quietly sounds peaceful.

Reckon the box is doing heaps of the work here. 18k for fries is already the scam, the kilo is just the garnish
in korea the box size is the unofficial weight guide. nobody has ever been fooled and everyone keeps ordering
18k for fries and the kilo is a rounding error. the potato is the cheapest part of that bag
Malaysian fries come in a cone and we all pretend to believe the size. 18,000 won I'd want a receipt per potato.
the shop saying that's the standard amount with a straight face is the real flex 😅 I'd frame the scale photo
How many people own a kitchen scale and also order fries? That's a very specific kind of person and I respect them.
