The mint chocolate craze has taken over significant companies in South Korea, such as Starbucks, Haitai Confectionery and Foods, and Orion. KFC has recently added the latest dip to their condiment lineup to catch up with the hype. According to Oddity Central, the fast food chain describes the dip as a combination of the “refreshing taste of dark sweet chocolate and mint.”
A KFC representative said, “We hope people can have a brand new KFC experience with the Baemin mint chocolate set menus, which consist of KFC’s popular chicken and burgers.”

However, customers cited their concerns regarding the products’ ingredients due to the item’s nutrition label and a possible milk ingredient. Chef Pii apologized for the numerous complaints about the product’s shipping packaging and pricing.

“I love my product. People love my product. I made a few mistakes. We’re coming back from it, and we’re going to grow from there.”
The product was compared to Heinz Ketchup’s colorful ketchup from the early 2000s, which came in different colors: purple, green, and blue.
