Pepero Day!


Yesterday was "Pepero" day here in Korea. These tasty treats are created by Lotte, a huge company here in Korea, that makes just about everything; food, candy, you name it. Lotte has many department stores, and even a theme park in Seoul. Basically, the holiday was supposedly created because the Pepero sticks look like 1's, so on 11/11, everyone gives each other Peperos. There are the regulation chopstick sized Peperos, medium sized Peperos, and giant Peperos. It's the essence of a commercial holiday! Let's all get sick on Peperos!
