What’s your go-to hangover cure? Fry up? Barroca? Nurofen Express? Well now there’s a tasty new remedy on the morning after block – hangover-busting ice lollies. 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 help soothe away the side effects of a night on the mojitos.
The grapefruit-flavoured wonder bars, aptly named Gyeondyo-bar, which translates loosely as “hang in there”, contain oriental raisin tree fruit extract, which is a hangover remedy that has been used in China for 500 years. A 2012 article in the Journal of Neuroscience found oriental 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 (approx £86) million a year industry.
Sadly there are no immediate plans to bring the miracle bars over to the UK. So we’ll just have to settle for an Egg McMuffin and a cup of cha.
