1. Holiday history of βͺπ White Day
The idea of the holiday originated in 1965 in the π―π΅ Japanese confectionery company βMarshmallow companyβ, which produced white marshmallows. They created an ad designed to encourage men to thank women with marshmallows for their gifts on π Valentineβs Day. Thus, a holiday called Marshmallow Day (Marshmallow Day) appeared, which the Japanese women really liked.
Over time the tradition of giving only marshmallows disappeared and men began to present all kinds of π¬ Sweets and other gifts, so the holiday was given a new name β βͺ White Day. It received this name also because in 1978 Japanese companies began to produce white π« Chocolate, which was also popular in the form of a gift. Since then, the White Day holiday has been postponed to March 14, so that exactly a month has passed since Valentineβs Day.

Traditionally, in addition to white chocolate, it is customary to give marshmallows, πͺ Cookies, π Jewelry, and mostly white π Underwear. After all, this color is the main symbol of the holiday and symbolizes pure and beautiful youthful β€οΈ Love.
