Why it's rising in Korea
Honey butter almonds spun out of Korea's honey-butter flavor wave and, unusually, kept selling after the trend cooled. Airport and duty-free channels made them a default Korea souvenir, which built steady overseas familiarity. The signal is a flavor concept that survived its own hype and now anchors a whole flavored-nut lineup.
Why it matters
The signal is flavor durability. A concept that keeps selling post-trend is a safer assortment anchor than a currently-viral item that may fade.
