I was first introduced to these wonderful food stuffs through the Superlocal blog (RIP Emil). I had to email my friends in Korea and they confirmed that these fabled foods do exist. It is such a shame that the US doesn’t have more varieties of street food available. If you live in New York you get falafal, hotdog stands, and the Chimichurri Hamburger trucks. You can get great tacos in Los Angeles in the middle of the night, and bacon wrapped hot dogs on certain street corners, but foods on a stick tend to be limited to state fairs and boardwalks which is now where these Korean creations are starting to appear.
Tornado Potato:
These spiral cut potatoes, deep fried, and served with a variety of toppings were being sold at the Minnesota State Fair this year.
Cone Pizza:
The US versions: http://www.konopizza.com/ and http://crispycones.com/
The french fry encrusted corn dog on a stick:
Available in Korea, but have not yet heard about it in the US…yet.
Foods that do not look appetizing, but am tempted to experiment with:
The Flapstick. It’s a breakfast sausage wrapped in a pancake (available in blueberry as well).
Batter Blaster. Pancake mix in a can…I mean, canned cheese isn’t all that bad, right? Besides, these are organic…
wow, mixed feelings on this one…am i enjoying the banter, or am i feeling uncomfortable?

That trick hockey shot reminded me of the And1 videos that made the rounds a few years back:
The RFID reader is set up so that an LED is lit every time their card was detected, and then captured it using a camera.
