On social websites popular in South Korea, photos of teenage schoolgirls wearing backpack snack packs built from cookies, chips, and Pocky sticks are showing up with increasing frequency. We approve of this genius trend.

Brian Ashcraft at Kotaku says the girls are even making them for one other as presents.

Though, it's possible some of the kids are making them for themselves and not necessarily for birthdays. Two students were spotted wearing snack packs that read "Graduation Celebration."

The backpacks are made by taping together packs or boxes of cookies or potatoes or chocolates or whatever. Snacks in wrappers even double as the straps!
