You mean White Day? March 14. They have these crazy holidays on the 14th of every month, following in Valentine's Day style. Black Day is April 14, when single people are supposed to order jajangmyun and think about being single, and I think Yellow Day is May 14. |

no there's a specific Ace cracker day, I'm sure there is.
But yeah, white day, black day, rose day, ring day, children's day, teacher's day- never heard of yellow day though |

| On Yellow Day you're supposed to eat curry, so says my girlfriend. She's not sure when, but guessing the 14th of August or July. |

I substituted with hot dogs.
However, those three days aren't quite the same Hallmark-style holidays that Black/Yellow/White/Rose/Ring/Cracker Days are. |

Ha ha you missed it. That's like missing christmas, but worse. It was on.. umm.. October 30? 29? something like that. It's not long before the great Pepero day. |

| The problem for me is that these days aren't specific enough....I for one will not rest until Korea has introduced "The Second-to-last Bite of Your Bar of Snickers" Day, or "The first Pringle in the Tube that hasn't Crumbled Yet" Day....not too bothered about the date though... |
