Reporter Kwon Ae-ri is with you.
Reporter Kwon, you brought a story about what to eat after a long time.
As more and more people are saying'Zipkok' and'Bangkok' due to Corona 19 these days, they say that there is a conflict in food sales?
<Reporter>
Yes, as the corona spreads again, you must have heard a lot of stories that delivery apps and online fresh food delivery has really exploded.
It's not that much, but there are many places where sales in the convenience stores in front of the house have slightly increased.
This is because more and more people are using convenience stores in front of their homes where they can just go out, put on slippers, wear masks, and visit in minutes.
However, after the strengthening of social distancing in the metropolitan area, interesting changes were noticed in the foods that people visited like this.
From the 30th of last month to September 5th, after the 2.5th step of social distancing began to take place in the metropolitan area, I saw what sold better than the previous one and what sold less for a week between 10pm and 2am.
Cup noodles, hangover-relieving drinks, and ice cream are the ones that have definitely lost sales.
Office workers familiar with dinner parties must have listened to them and already said "Aha".
These are the very items that you pick up when you go home alone with a drink and then go out and stop by a convenience store because you're empty, and items to wear after drinking.
Even if you don't drink alcohol, you may have seen some people picking up a few ice bars from the freezer because their faces turn a little when they go to a convenience store at night.
The sales of little kimchi decreased significantly as some of the people who had a habit of entering with chopsticks in front of the house without the knowledge of a person waiting at home could not see it.

What are some of the items whose stock prices have risen on the contrary?
<Reporter>
Sales of ready-to-eat foods other than cup noodles have increased considerably.
In particular, if you have a quick snack that can be eaten at night, such as a piece of chicken, more and more cases are packaged, resulting in an overall increase of nearly 40% compared to early August.
Even though eating in and out of convenience stores is prohibited, I think it has increased like this, but in fact, more often, cup noodles are served at the convenience table in front of the convenience store, not with beer.
Frozen pizza, tteokbokki, sujebi, dumplings, and noodles evenly increased.
The door hasn't been open since 9 o'clock, so I bought it at a convenience store and eaten at home.
In the Seoul metropolitan area where the 2.5th step was carried out as a whole, it appeared more clearly than in other places. Similarly, after a dinner, the items of appetite were sold less, but the alcohol itself and the snacks themselves were bought more than in August.
Things like jerky, dried squid, nuts.
Still, home alcohol is on the rise, but last week there were more and more people like that.

Reporter Kwon said that snacks are also sold more than before. Let's stay at home so let's keep our mouths less bored. Does this mean?
<Reporter>
Yes, there seem to be a lot of such people.
Originally, confectionery is not an item that sales increased or decreased noticeably.
Consumption is rather constant.
If a product that hits a special hit comes out, it will take a lot of money, but it can be said that the product group as a whole is not very ups and downs.
However, with Corona 19 spreading again in August, activities have contracted sharply and strongly as early as this year.
We all have too much stress.
That's why I hear that the sales of sweets increased in August.
There are many things to eat at home for snacks, but these days, fresh fruits and the like have become very expensive, although the sugar content is dropping due to the rain that keeps coming.
First of all, last week, popcorn at convenience stores sold a whopping 25% more than in early August.
Cookies, regular snacks, and jellies all increased by 10-20%.
Convenience stores say that among the sweets, popcorn was sold a lot, and there were people who were feeling down at the cinema while watching movies and dramas on TV or mobile phones at home.
In the case of hypermarkets, E-Mart also calculated. Even if the people who visited the store wearing masks instead of selling online, the whole confectionery sold 16% more in August than in July.
Compared to August last year, when he was free to go to the mart, sales of confectionery in the first half of this year were almost the same as in the first half of last year.

Yes, I think dentists and diet companies will like this news for some reason.
