What's With These Tiny Biscuits?!

I found these delicious looking Coconut Latte Biscuits at the 100 yen store the other day and thought why not treat myself.

They look pretty yummy, right? I hadn't thought of putting coconut flavors with coffee before so it sounded really fun to me. I didn't even realize that the writing on it was also in hongul and that might mean that my husband was unlikely to try them with me as he doesn't always trust things from the Asian mainland.

Luckily I did convince him to try the biscuits with me last night but we were both really surprised to see their actual size.

What's with this tiny cookie?

Then I thought maybe the little package on the outside was supposed to be warning us about how small the cookies would be, like the "actual size" pictures on some American snacks, next to the "enlarged to show texture" messages near the bigger pictures of the same treat.

Nope. The package for the tiny cookie is bigger than the package shown on the outside of the packaging, while the cookie itself is bigger than the package shown on the packaging, but so much smaller than the cookies shown right next to it.

Maybe that's why they're at the 100 yen store.
