I love H-Mart. It rules. It rules.
The Korean supermarket (800 N Rolling Rd, Catonsville, MD) is a busy, busy place to buy your groceries. But for the production and the experience, it’s worth every set of ten minutes you’ll have to wait in line to buy them. The prices are low, the produce is fresh and vibrant, the entire place is put together so well that everywhere you turn it’s a symphony of colors. If for no other reason than to stare at gigantic root vegetables and admire the colorful array of odd canned foods (like baby silk worm, for instance) you should go to H-Mart. If for no other reason than to admire the pristine, insanely fresh seafood section, you should go to H-Mart.
And most definitely, without question, check out the food court next door. For $10.95, they offer all you can eat sushi and a Korean buffet from 12-3pm on weekdays. It’s awesome. AWESOME.

The short answer to this question is no, no we should not smell like hamburgers. After the holidays, I found in my mailbox the Burger King Flame “body spray” that I ordered some time ago and thought “heh.” It comes in a tiny bottle much like the bottle in the picture, in fact it’s almost actual size in the picture depending on your monitor, and with due diligence I sprayed as bit on my wrist.
Let’s just say it doesn’t exactly smell like hamburgers, or really much of anything at all except for the cheapest, crappiest cologne imaginable. Every. Single. Person. That has smelled this stuff has likened it to Sex Panther at some point in their reaction to it, without exception.
To make matters really much worse, the bottle leaks slightly and while holding this demon concoction in my pocket, it got all over my hand and I’m pretty sure I can still smell it, almost 24 hours and several hand washings later. No bones about it, this stuff is not good. It got to the point last night where some friends and I were pranking each other unfortunate bar patrons (inadvertently) by spraying one another during fake hugout sessions, effectively ruining our chances of being normal parts of society for the time being. This crap is truly abhorrent.
In close, while Burger King may have the occasional stroke of brilliance with their advertising schemes, they really ought not to try body sprays again. Please, really. For all of us.
