[WHY] How Korean coffee mixes became an everyday staple

2. 암기할 문장
(1) Although some may wonder why they were carrying packs of instant coffee mix in the first place, in Korea, the pockets of miners aren’t the only obscure place you can find the drink mixes.
(2) The easy-made coffee has been a handy energy booster for Koreans since 1976, when Dong Suh Foods first invented its individually packaged instant coffee mixes.
(3) Although people can turn to various drinks when taking a break from strenuous work, such as black coffee or energy drinks, the instant coffee mixes have the upper hand when it comes to their convenience and the additional sugar rush.

3. 내용요약 및 느낀점
Hearing the news about the two miners who survived from the mine collapse with a handful of instant coffee mix packs, I thought it is plausible enough, since instant coffee mix contains caffeine, sugar, fat, and carbohydrate, the essential nurients for survival and metabolism. The only missing nutrient is protein, but it has been known that humans can survive for 70 days without protein. Even though the coffee markets in Korea have been dominated by big coffee chains, global franchises, and individual-run cafes, it is still true that there are many Koreans out there looking for a cup of instant coffee mix amid a bustling, strenuous daily life and I am very happy to be one of them. It is so relieving even when smelling maxim instant coffee mix and drinking just a sip of it. I just hope that Dong Suh and many other food companies could expand their sales boundary and raise exports of their products.
