On September 3, McDonald’s Korea released a new dessert item, Corn Pie. Originally released in the fast food franchise’s local stores in Thailand, the product has recently been released in Korea by the popular demand.

The sweet and crispy treat is made of corn and cream, which fill the signature pie shell of McDonald’s. As soon as the pie was released, people in Korea ran to nearest McDonald’s stores to savor the much-anticipated treat.

Thousands of reviews complement the gooey harmony of corn and cream, which taste just like corn soup. Its affordable price, which is 1,000 KRW (approximately $1) also make a good reason to give a go.

On the other hand, some of the people express disappointments about the product, writing it didn’t meet the expectation. According to some reviews, the Korean version of Corn Pie lacks flavor, compared to the original.
