Today is White Day
March 14th 2008 00:51
No, it's not some holiday celebrated by supremacists. Rather, it has been a month since Valentine's Day.
In Japan, women give men chocolates on February 14. March 14 is the day for men to return the favour and give chocolates back to the women who gave them chocolates. And the chocolates the men give should be more expensive than the ones they'd received and wrapped in of course, white.
I wikied it, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information. Though I'd believe that a confectioner was responsible for coming up with it in order to boost sales, which is understandable since most Japanese don't celebrate Easter.
Incidentally, it's also Pi Day today - 3.14 being the approximate value of pi.
