What’s your go-to hangover cure? Coffee? Water? Advil? Well now there’s a tasty new remedy on the morning-after block — hangover-busting ice cream pops. What a time to be alive!
According to Reuters, a Korean convenience store chain has rolled out a new ice cream bar, which aims to soothe away the side effects of a night on the mojitos.
The grapefruit-flavored wonder bar, aptly named Gyeondyo-bar, which translates loosely as “hang in there,” containa raisin-tree fruit extract — a hangover remedy that has been used in China for 500 years. A 2012 article in the Journal of Neuroscience found that raisin-tree extract reduced symptoms of intoxication in rats.

Apparently South Koreans are Asia’s biggest per capita alcohol consumers, which means there’s a huge market for hangover cures. In fact, relieving that morning-after feeling has become a $126 million a year industry.
Sadly there are no immediate plans to bring the miracle bars over to the U.S. So we’ll just have to settle for scrambled eggs and coffee.
