pepero's day
on November 11, may koreans will celebrate pepero's day.
What is a “pepero”? It is cookie stick covered in half with chocolate syrup. Remember the “Jack n’ Jill” pretzel sticks in the Philippines? You get the idea!
November 11 is known as Pepero Day in Korea! It’s a marketing idea concocted by the makers of the popular snack. On this day, people buy boxes of Pepero to give to their loved ones, teachers, classmates, officemates, boyfriends, girlfriends and pets. The date was chosen because “November” is represented by the number 11 in Korean calendar so when you write down the date, it’s gonna be 11.11… all sticks just like Pepero.
As of 2006 it was sold in 6 different flavors:
Strawberry-flavored
Almond Chocolate
Chocolate
Pepero 'soft'
"Woman in White" and "Man in Black" are slightly more "classy" brands of Pepero, and both have chocolate cookie bits scattered throughout the chocolate dip.
Pepero is the Korean equivalent of the more well-known Japanese chocolate-covered cookie sticks, Pocky. Many Koreans claim that Pepero, which first came out in 1983, was not a copy of Pocky, which was first sold in 1966.(manufactured by lotte in korea)
pepero day is not official.but many peoplr celebrates it. it's like valentine's day or sweetnest day.
there is a copyright in Korea of posting pictures of pepero.so i'll just post this.
Boxes of pepero. diff. sizes and shapes.
ture.
it's a pepero stand in korea.
they look like the same.(pepero and pocky)
Th e reason why i made this entry is because i really love korea. other than that, i really love pepero. but pepero and pocky are both delicious.
it's just that pepero is made in korea and i like it more.and pocky is made in japan.but i like them both.
if you haven't tried any of the both,try pepero on nov.11.be one of us in celebrating pepero's day.
and try pocky too. but not on nov.11:)
hope you enjoy your snack.:)
