1. Holiday history of โช๐ White Day
The idea of the holiday originated in 1965 in the ๐ฏ๐ต Japanese confectionery company โMarshmallow companyโ, which produced white marshmallows. They created an ad designed to encourage men to thank women with marshmallows for their gifts on ๐ Valentineโs Day. Thus, a holiday called Marshmallow Day appeared, which Japanese women really liked.
Over time, the tradition of giving only marshmallows disappeared and men began to present all kinds of ๐ฌ Sweets and other gifts, so the holiday was given a new name โ โช White Day. It received this name also because in 1978 Japanese companies began to produce white ๐ซ Chocolate, which was also popular in the form of a gift. Since then, the White Day holiday has been moved to March 14, so that exactly a month has passed since Valentineโs Day.

The main tradition of the White Day holiday is that men give women a gift called Giri Choco. The Japanese even came up with an additional tradition called sanbai gaeshi โ โtriple returnโ, according to which a manโs gift in return should be 2โ3 times more expensive than a womanโs on Valentineโs Day.
But this tradition only applies to ๐ Couples. In the case of ๐ฉโ๐ผ Colleagues at work, if the female employees presented a colleague with Giri Choco โ โchocolate out of a sense of dutyโ on February 14, then on March 14 he can make a similar gift and not worry about the price.
Traditionally, in addition to white chocolate, it is customary to give marshmallows, ๐ช Cookies, ๐ Jewelry, and mostly white ๐ Underwear. After all, this color is the main symbol of the holiday and symbolizes pure and beautiful youthful โค๏ธ Love.
