Choco-Pies Major Black Market Trade

Apparently, South Korea's Choco-Pies are so popular in North Korea that they go for about $9.50 on the black market, according to story in The Chosun Ilbo.

Even though workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex are given two or three of the snacks a day, the speculation is that most of the pies are moved on the black market. Who knew a snack cake could have such a huge impact in someone's life -- besides leading to obesity and diabetes.
