November 7 and I've already got my first delicious box.
Do any of your buy AND give away this crap or do you just give away what you receive?
And please, heavens have mercy tell me university aged students don't buy into this. |

All I know is that imsticking around in Korea until 2011, because that Peppero Day is going to be off the hook, crazy wild. |

It does seem bigger than before. I'm going to try and photograph as many Peppero Day displays as I can. |

still, even though in another thread some people expressed that they hated this day... i think they would be upset if they didn't receive any from the students. |

I definitely don't hate the day. i think that it's sweet. but I wouldn't feel bad if I didn't get any. |

Remember, it's not about what you GET- it's about what you GIVE.
Just remember the spirit of this great holiday- and try to live up to it. Try to keep it sacred and all about family instead of letting it get TOO COMMERCIAL.
What was the question, again?  |

Last year at my hakwon, I gave, and gave, and gave...100k worth of tooth-rotting, ADD-causing boxes of past-their-shelf-life, couldnt-be-given-away-in-ethiopia, cardboard-tasting poor-excuse-for-bread sticks covered in tasteless, brown mucky stuff they call chocolate but not really chocolate.
I had a blast. Not this year though. My student pop. is 760, not 60. |

Sure they do. What's the difference between a uni student and a h.s. student?
Nothing. |

Same, same.
Except that nowadays, peppero sticks are HUGE.
See how big they are in comparison to that box of chocolate:
