Whitened chocolate is really a relatively recent arrival towards the chocolate market, getting only come to exist and introduced (in Europe) within the nineteen thirties. White Chocolate Day remembers this tasty treat – and even though initially considered to not be ‘true’ chocolate inside a definitive sense, rules were eventually relaxed to permit whitened chocolate which consists of sufficient cacao that need considering to become ‘real’ chocolate.

White Day is an invention to make money. In Japan, on Valentines day women and girls buy gifts for boys and men (not just their boyfriends, but the men at work, teachers at school, etc). White day is a month after Valentines day and then the reverse happens (i.e. men buy gifts for women). It's just a clever marketing trick to make people buy chocolates and suchlike.
