  (If you can't see shit above, switch your browser's encoding to Korean, and all will be clear. Or even more confusing. Heh. ) 빼빼로 (or Pepero) are little biscuit sticks covered in chocolate. They're called Pocky in Japan, and to be honest, I like the Japanese ones better, because they have more comedy flavours, like melon, and green tea. Good shit. Just don't tell the Koreans I said that. Anyway.... today is Pepero day in Korea. Why today? Because some brainiac in Lotte's marketing department thought that 11/11 looks suspiciously like four Pepero lined up together, and so this magical day was born. I got so washed up in the hype that I even forgot the other significance of November 11th. But then, chocolate tastes better than a red paper flower, so can you blame me? The one in the middle is called "Nude Pepero", because the chocolate's on the inside. Hmmm.
