      I went to study in Korea for half a year and the CVS are one of the best parts of living there 😅

    If that 24/7 "honor" system ramen store was here in the states, all the ramen, kimchi, toppings, and 100% the eggs would all be gone in less then a day and with no money in the register.

      Same with India 😬😬

      @ever_squish Year ago +52

      The problem with these ramen stores is less about people stealing food and more about people using the space to eat other stuff while not paying for any ramen.

    • @kareninalabama
      @kareninalabama Year ago +41

      ​@ever_squish, that's amazing, because in the US, a place like that would be stripped clean in seconds (assuming it was in a major metropolitan area like NYC or LA.) So not only would all the food be stolen, so would all the equipment and furnishings.

    Hey karissa i just wanted to say thank you, you may not know me but i've been struggling with an ED and its been getting hard to eat. But your videos really help seeing how much you enjoy food and how good it looks and you aren't focusing on calories and will eat it no matter. your videos really help me see that its okay to eat meals that you want, without any guilt. So thank you a lot. Your videos have a big impact on people more than you'll ever know!

      @KatieShepard-t6x 3 months ago +4

      I second this. I’m 26 and have had an ED since 12. Your videos as well as others very much encourage me to eat/give me a bit of a craving to eat. Thank ya

    • @bingobongoyippee
      @bingobongoyippee 14 days ago

      Me too, but with ARFID. I have difficulty with foods due to sensory issues and fear of taste. These vids really help me with developing positive view of food, and it feels less scary.
