Article delves into possible reasoning behind the honey butter chips craze going on in Korea right now. "More people are searching for simple and sweet pleasures to counter the hardships in every day life", "It has become the must have item for everyone in Korea", "Stores have begun putting up signs saying they do not have the chips in stock due to the influx of calls asking about them", "Chips are being sold for three times the original price", "Chips went viral on SNS with people uploading pictures of their stash", "Honey butter chip craze will fade once people get tired of the taste".

1. [+36,300, -5,483] Who hasn't tried honey butter chips yet?

2. [+20,379, -988] Someone brought some to my company a few days ago so I tried some... it's not a taste that I'd go crazy over. It's too hyped ㅋㅋ it'll die down once the hype fades.

3. [+18,065, -943] The chips' success is entirely behind its marketing...

4. [+15,480, -659] All this to buy some chips? It looks like we're in war ㅋ

5. [+14,856, -1,670] It really doesn't taste like anything special...

6. [+2,535, -85] The taste is below average. I remember just a while ago people were begging to boycott Korean chips because of how full of air the bags were but look at the craze one bag of chips can change. Koreans are so easy to fool.

7. [+2,369, -65] Just wait a few months, the hype will fade and the chips will be sold 3 for 1 special. ㅋㅋ

8. [+2,057, -57] I found one bag at the supermarket so I put it in my cart and while I was away, someone took it... These chips are turning people into such disrespectful fools..

9. [+1,968, -58] Just don't eat it if you can't find it, why are people justifying paying three times the price for it...

10. [+1,624, -31] I'm happy because all of the other chips are on sale thanks to honey butter chip ㅋㅋㅋ
