On Wednesday, about 200 South Koreans attached thousands of chocolate snacks to 50 giant balloons and released into North Korea after Pyongyang reportedly banned the coveted treats from the country earlier this month. The pies, which have become popular among hungry North Koreans, are considered as a symbol of capitalism and represent a cultural impact that might encourage an uprising.

“We will continue to send Choco Pie by balloons because it is still one of the most favorite foodstuffs in North Korea,” said Choo Sun-Hee, one of the organisers of Wednesday’s balloon launch.

In response to the activity, Pyongyang has pressed Seoul to stop their people and threatened to shell the launch sites.

We could try this with our local schools after Moocher's food rules go into effect.

Anyone touch those moon pies, they will be shot.

I've had those Choco Pies.

Addictive if you've been drinking.

Sounds WAY better than Kim-chi.

Good to see "the right" engaging in Coward-Piven efforts.

Addictive if you've been drinking.

Could be even more addictive if you've been starving.

That’s what we should have done with Cuba 30 40 years ago. Flooded them with electronic gadgets radios Walkmans clothing just everyday stuff all with American flags printed.

ha...clever

Smart – the balloons are transparent making them difficult for ground troops to shoot down.

Not so smart – many of the balloons will likely overfly North Korea landing elsewhere.

ALL pies belong to ME. Eat my pies and you die

[UCANSEE2]

Now that’s the way to fight a war.

Choco Pie? Those look like Moon Pies to me.

They need to send them in with RC Colas.

[Rome2000]

Bloomberg needs to get on a plane and straighten these South Koreans out.

Next they’ll be floating over tall sugary drinks.

Typical despotic overreaction.

“I have told my people that they can not have these evil capitalist treats. If you do not stop your people from giving my people these decadent pies I will kill them!”

If I say no it’s NO

That will go over well. Shell the launch site of the attack moon pies.
Fearless Leader. We killed 100 launch personnel and destroyed fifty of the launchers.
The South Koreans would be apoplectic and the Chinese would even be ashamed.
