Honey Series Snacks

Haitai played a big part in starting the "honey butter" craze in South Korea. This happened around 2014. They first released the Honey Butter Chips. These chips had a sweet and savory honey butter flavor.

After the chips, Haitai made other honey-flavored snacks. These included Honey Tong Tong and Honey Corn Pop. Many other food companies then started making their own honey butter snacks. This showed how popular Haitai's idea became.
