Yeah, but I guess it really exists in japan. A similar plot was also used in a chapter of FushiKen.

i wonder who decided that meaning, i've never been fond of peeps but i feel like whoever set it prolly just has a grudge/dislike of marshmallows. Because it would be kinda a passive aggressive gift if ppl did know, versus like, marshmallows just not being 'popular' in jp because it tastes weird to them like how ppl also don't drink root beer as much as cola (i vaguely remember an interview or vid? Of some JP ppl trying root beer and saying they didn’t like it bc it tasted like medicine to them)
You'd think with it being "white day" as a response to valentine's day something like marshmallows would be popular

Yande-chan.... you like marshmallows, don't you? Maybe that takes precedence in a dear friend's mind on a gift-giving day, more than the possibility that he'd "go out of his way, buy an adorable basket of huge puffy cloudballs with a cute rabbit on top"... because he somehow hates you for a reason that you can't even pinpoint(??).

Homemade stuff aside, that's on the store for not having proper labels on white day gifts on their display
Although i guess, "buy these to give as a 'rejection gift' would be kinda awkward to put up as a sales tactic
(i know a lot of diff flowers have meanings, i wonder if in old victorian times there'd be noble families sending each other passive aggressive bouquets and shit XD)

I’m pulling this off the top of my head and could be wrong, but it’s along the line of reading into things, ex. marshmallow is full of air and barely has anything in it, symbolizing the nothing in the feeling, while hard candy is sweet and long lasting (in your mouth) so it symbolizes long eternal love or something like that.
I looked this up for Giri Choko Girai no Futari where there was a white day question.
ChatGPT: what do different gifts mean on white day
In Japan (and some other East Asian countries), White Day (March 14th) is when men return gifts to women who gave them chocolates or presents on Valentine’s Day. The type of gift given is seen as a kind of "answer" to the Valentine’s gift, and over time, certain meanings and associations have developed.
Here’s a breakdown of the traditional interpretations of different White Day gifts:
⚠️ Note: These meanings are not universal today — younger generations often treat White Day more casually, and gifts may not always carry such strong symbolic weight. But the candy/cookie/marshmallow "code" is still pretty well-known in Japan.
Do you want me to also explain how these associations originated (like why marshmallows ended up meaning rejection)?
Here’s a breakdown of the traditional interpretations of different White Day gifts:
🍬 Candy
- Meaning: "I like you" / romantic interest
- This is the most positive response — giving candy traditionally signals that the man wants to reciprocate the woman’s feelings.
🍪 Cookies
- Meaning: "Let’s just be friends"
- Cookies are seen as light, crispy, and “dry,” which came to symbolize a friendly but not romantic reply.
🍫 Chocolate
- Meaning: Varies, but often neutral or polite rejection
- Since the woman gave chocolate on Valentine’s Day, giving chocolate back can feel like a generic response, without deeper meaning.
🍵 Marshmallows
- Meaning: "I don’t like you" / rejection
- This comes from the idea that marshmallows are soft, fluffy, and disappear quickly in your mouth — symbolizing fleeting or insubstantial feelings.
🎁 Other gifts (handkerchiefs, accessories, jewelry, lingerie, etc.)
- Handkerchiefs: Associated with parting or tears → sometimes interpreted as rejection.
- Jewelry/Accessories: More serious affection → often for girlfriends or wives.
- Lingerie: Strongly romantic/sexual connotation → usually for lovers, not casual crushes.
⚠️ Note: These meanings are not universal today — younger generations often treat White Day more casually, and gifts may not always carry such strong symbolic weight. But the candy/cookie/marshmallow "code" is still pretty well-known in Japan.
