Happy Pepero Day guys!
Pepero is a South Korean snack that consists of a cookie stick dipped in chocolate. Pepero Day is similar to Valentine's Day and is held on November 11, because the date "11/11" resembles sticks of Pepero.
The manufacturer, Lotte Confectionary, denies starting the holiday. Some consider it a contrived holiday (what holiday hasn't become commercial these days?) and some teachers have suggested kids exchange healthy snacks instead to help combat obesity. Lame.
I'm going to a nearby Korean grocery store now to buy some Pepero for friends. Expect the treats in your mailbox soon!
