Pepero Day

Last night I was wondering why are they selling chocolate and long stick of snack along the road. And I was thinking is it already valentine?Or maybe another type of valentine, cause here in Korea they have valentines day, white day, black day..all kind of strange day...well anyway, when I went to church today, Someone gave me 'pepero' and said happy pepero day. Whats a pepero day???

Pepero is a long crackers with chocolate crust on top of it. They were saying that it began with some girls exchanging pepero to wish each other so they can grow tall and think just like pepero the snack, and they celebrate it on 11/11. It sounds silly all right, but some people think it's just a marketing strategy by LOTTE, the pepero maker to improve their marketing. It's basically the same like chocolate and flowers on valentines day.

I wonder, why don't we have a 'Bakso day' on the 08/08 in Indonesia..hmmm..maybe i should start a bakso company then..hahahaha...
