Haven’t you tried “zang zang bao” (literally “dirty bread”) yet? Then you may be failing to keep up with the latest trend. Originating from South Korean coffee shops, “dirty bread” has exploded in popularity in Taiwan in recent months. Bakeries across the country are trying to copy the item to attract business.
“Dirty bread” is actually a kind of chocolate bread with cocoa powder on the top, and the bread’s name comes from the fact that your hands and face will become messy from the cocoa powder when eating it. The snack is so appealing that singer Tanya Chua and some other artists have publicly posted their “dirty pictures” while eating it, and in doing so created a trend on social media.
As Mother’s Day gradually approaches, a bakery belonging to Mind-Farm Mental Development Center in Taitung County has also started to train people with mental disabilities to bake “dirty bread.” The bakery received over 100 orders on the first day of sale.

你還沒吃過「髒髒包」嗎?那可就落伍了!源自南韓咖啡店的「髒髒包」,最近幾個月在台灣爆紅,造成全台烘焙坊爭相模仿搶客。
「髒髒包」是一款上面灑滿可可粉的巧克力麵包,因為吃起來手上和臉上會沾滿可可粉,所以才得到這個名稱。該產品魅力之大,就連藝人蔡健雅等人公開大吃「髒髒包」的「髒照」,都在社群媒體掀起熱潮。

NASA decided Saturday last week it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule, and they’ll have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX. What should have been a weeklong test flight for the pair will now last more than eight months. The seasoned pilots have been stuck at the International Space Station since the beginning of June. A cascade of vexing thruster failures and helium leaks in the new capsule marred their trip to the space station, and they ended up in a holding pattern as engineers conducted tests and

Ask your grandparents what cookies are, and you’ll probably be told they are tasty treats made from flour, sugar, butter, and a few other ingredients. Ever since 1994, however, the term has taken on a completely different meaning related to the Internet. In that year, a 23-year-old American programmer named Lou Montulli invented the cookie. Fast-forward to the present day, and cookies have become not only commonplace but also a subject of growing concern, particularly third-party ones.
