chicken - go for more!

happy Peppero Day!

I didn't have a chance to get really neat pepperos, so we ended up with the basics and these yamyam sticks (close enough). The pocky ended up having coffee powder in it (what?! I said, what the heck, Glico!*) so we just ate the yamyam (which, incidently, has cheese in it... weird). It was great because it had neat things printed on it. A lot of them were broken so we got to match them up.

here's my description of Peppero Day:
It's celebrated in Korea on 11.11 because the 1s look like Pepperos. Pepperos are called Pocky in Japan and that's what we usually see in American grocery stores. They are little stick cookies that are dipped in chocolate, except for the little ends where you can hold onto the bare stick-cookie. In Korea, people buy them to give to their friends on that day, and they sell all sorts-- normal, fancy, HUGE, anything your heart desires. :)

Men's pocky is great for the guys *P or anyone who likes dark chocolate. apparently that'll make a man out of you! I like coconut pocky and milk pocky, and sometimes a good dessert pocky is fun.



* Coffee powder is not in all pocky/peppero. But unfortunately it is in some, so you have to check the ingredients if this matters to you. We bypassed the banana pocky and some strawberry pocky due to this unnecessary ingredient. lame-oes.
