Anyone know it? Its on November 11. Its a holiday in South Korea when you give away pepero to your friends, lovers, teachers, classmates, relatives, etc. If you didn't know, pepero is a well known snack in Korea. America too, actually. Probably only for the koreans here though.

...I wish I had a holiday on my snack... Money railing in.

No, we need a money day when everybody gives money to me.

Pepero eh... One pack is not enough, if it is any good.

There is actually a Pocky Day. It is a Pepero Day copy and it is in Japan.

If it looks like pocky, and if it sounds like pocky, and if it tastes like pocky... why don't we just call it pocky.

Anyways, I must say despite my non-militant philosophy, I'd much rather celebrate Veterans Day than a day to celebrate a food.

There's a big difference in the scales.

I did not know Pepero had it's own day. O_o; I do like Pepero though, it's much cheaper than Pocky.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't taste like pocky... I mean it's still the same stick dipped in chocolate but there are differences? I find pepero likes to stick to each other more but that's just packaging. Someone at my old school called it the generic pocky -_-;.

I don't feel like people celebrate those kind of holidays though... Not saying people don't though.

Because Pepero is cheaper, it tastes better, and Pepero=Korean/Pocky=Japanese. Pepero came to America sooner too.

Pepero Day is basically almost like a Valentine's Day, Korean Style. You can give out other snacks and candy too. Mostly Pepero, though.
