Pepero Day is a Korean tradition celebrated on November 11th, or 11/11. Pepero is the name of a popular chocolate-covered biscuit stick made by Lotte. It’s a snack that symbolizes togetherness and love, as the sticks are often given as gifts to significant others or friends. The pair of sticks resemble the number 11.
