While couples count down to anniversaries, this person counts down to something else
Someone shares their D-day countdown app, but instead of tracking a relationship, it's tracking a completely different kind of shelf life.

While other people D-day their anniversaries with their partner, I use the app to track expiration dates.

💡 Wait, D-day apps are a whole genre in Korea?
Couples in Korea obsessively count the days since they started dating (D+100, D+365) using dedicated countdown apps, treating each milestone like a mini-holiday.vs. the US: like tracking an anniversary, but recalculated and celebrated every single day.Klore note
💡 Why sauces specifically?
Condiments like wasabi or mayo get used a spoonful at a time and sit in the fridge for years, so trusting your nose over the label becomes its own hobby.vs. anywhere: the jar of mustard in the back of your fridge you're too scared to check.Klore note
