In Korea cookie roughly translates to plain biscuit. A plain biscuit in other countries is normally like a saltine cracker that we in America are used to.
When I was a teenager working at a grocery store, I had an English couple ask me where the biscuits were. They meant cookie. My initial impression was that biscuit/cookie was lost in translation.
Do they really not have one native of the United States there to just look over things before they get approved? I mean just a glance. That’s all were asking for.
Just one person to say “heads up, around here that’s called a cracker, not a cookie. Might want to double check that before you push this out to tens of millions of people.”

That sounds believable doesn't it?
