Peppero Day

‘Peppero’, aka ‘Pocky’, are little biscuit sticks dipped in chocolate. They come in a number of varieties here in South Korea. Some clever marketer decided to play up the visual appearance of the snack sticks with the date November eleven, which of course is ’11/11′ – so today is Peppero Day, marked by every shape and size of chocolate-dipped stick, little red boxes sold individually or taped into giant hearts and robots, make-your-own kits, and the like.
