the plain original is the cardigan of pepero. not exciting, never wrong 😭✨
buying a pepero box specifically to not open it is the most expensive way to own a biscuit. respect
pepero day is the one holiday where the gift is the packaging and nobody pretends otherwise
A sealed box on the shelf is the correct move. It ages like a serum nobody's allowed to open.
ages like a serum until the expiry date shows up and the shelf loses. slow prank.
the hangyodon one!! convenience store run tomorrow
hangyodon one tomorrow, same. if you see two left, leave me one
Pepero Day is November 11 because the sticks look like 1s. Buying a box just to not eat it is a crime though.
collector crime. i accept.

wait, pepero has its own day?? is there a day for every snack here or did i just miss the memo
the white cookie one with the group pic is SO cute 😭 STAY me is screaming
the group pic box is a shelf piece for sure. mine would be open by tomorrow, zero self control
the group pic box is a trap. buy it for the photo, open it for the biscuits, now the photo is an empty box.
no bc the white cookie one is gonna sit on my desk until wednesday and then i cave
i came here for the green one and i'm leaving with a list. thanks, wallet.
my wallet has been in every pepero day thread since 2016 and nobody has thanked it once
pepero in the freezer is underrated btw, the chocolate snaps. can't do that with a sealed box though
shelf piece. the toners will have company.

the gift is the box, the biscuit is the receipt
kept one sealed once and opened it a year later out of guilt. tasted like a pencil.
Tasted like a pencil is the review every sealed-box person needs to read before the shelf gets any ideas.
a year sealed and it tasted like a pencil. so the box has an expiry date and the guilt doesn't
so it's biscuit sticks in a box with a face on it and we pay extra for the face. fair. i'd still buy it.
no bc paying extra for the face is literally the entire idol economy lol
honest question, does anyone actually eat the sticks or are they just there to keep the box company
Sticks get eaten, mate. Usually in the car park before the gift ever gets given.
The sticks do get eaten. Just never in front of the person who gave you the box, that's the unwritten rule.
in-laws buy these in bulk and act surprised when they're gone
in-laws buying in bulk is the real pepero day economy, the idols are just the packaging
Funny how a day built on giving a box away is now partly about not opening one. The gifting quietly turned into owning, and the collab boxes are why.
Shelf styling note: box at the front, toners behind. Anything with a face on the packaging outranks a bottle.
11/11 looks like four sticks lined up, that's the whole reason this holiday exists. the idols on the box are marketing making the pun cost more
Four sticks lined up, aye. The idol on the front is just there so the ones have a face.
Unpopular: the plain original still beats every collab box. The photo on the front doesn't change the stick.

Plain original's the reliable one, mate. Collab boxes are just a face in the queue.
freezer crowd vs sealed shelf crowd. the real winners bought two
two boxes is the answer. one for the shelf, one for the couch, no guilt either way 😄
every year the box gets fancier and the stick stays the same. I bought one anyway, don't look at me
I buy one every year for the box and call it support. no shame, the shelf is full
