Pepero day!!!
While most of world is spends November 11th remembering those killed in World War 1 and every war that follows, The Koreans, sparked by either smart marketing or amazing word of mouth Celebrate Pepero (빼빼로) day! The unofficial holiday involves students giving a crapload of Pepero brand chocolate covered breadsticks to their friends. It is comparable to Valentines day back home, but would probably be closer to "Mars bar day" than anything. A piece of marketing genius by the Lotte corporation.
All that matters to me is that I got a truck load of candy today! Good thing too... my kids were REALLY bad today. All that damn suger I suppose.

Good haul! Is that candy any better than those Korean Red Ginsing candies you sent us?
Nothing is better than those Ginsing candies! You are just ungrateful!
Jeffer..Trust me. The ginseng candies grow on you.. you just have to keep eating them until they're delicious. Git eating!
You guys are crazy... that Ginseng candy never grows on you.
Between here and Japan, I've had a truck load of them and still struggle to get them down my throat!
But to answer your question Jeff, imagine a saltless pretzel covered in chocolate and you would be coming fairly close to a pepero.
One time I went to a cottage and accidentally bought a bag of unsalted pretzels. I was nearly castrated and quartered.
