The closest I'll get to North Korea



The Hangul side of the bottle says "DE-EM-CHI" (the "Z" sound doesn't exist in their alphabet). When I asked my office mates about the meaning of the brand name they told me it must be gibberish. Obviously, Koreans don't call border the between North and South Korea "the demilitarized zone" so when I explained to them the English meaning of the acronym they were very surprised!
