Yea, today Nov-11 a Pepero Day. What is it anyway?
In Korea, it's a day that males and females give chocolate sticks to each others to show his/her love towards other. Sound interesting, huh?
Here the definition:
Pepero (빼빼로) is a cookie stick, dipped in chocolate syrup, manufactured by Lotte in South Korea since 1983.[1] It was inspired by the Japanese product, Pocky produced by Glico
Love is a sweet chocolate stick.
Why is this day picked? Some of my friends say that just imagine writing the date and month in number: Nov-11 => 11-11. I don't really get it .
But I know for sure Lotte make big money from this ...
It has become a cultural thing among young Koreans!
What an interesting day!
