In today’s wires: Volunteers make 143 tons of kimchi at City Hall, hosted annually by Korea Yakult Co., maker of sugary-sweet yogurt drinks.
An excerpt:
On Thursday, some 2,200 volunteers — South Koreans and foreigners — braved a cold snap to make 143 tons of kimchi from 58,000 heads of cabbage, said Kim Sung-tae, a Seoul government official.
The yogurt drink maker Korea Yakult Co. has held the annual event since 2001 as part of a charity campaign. The volunteers will deliver the kimchi to 13,000 needy households in Seoul, Kim said.
For reference that’s about 150 Matiz cars lined up, or enough to last around 3,760 people with one year’s supply of spicy cabbage!
