TIL the way to write "snack" おやつ in kanji is お八つ, with the character for 8 in there. I wonder why 🤔 Is it because you eat snacks at 8? Or is it just ateji (when you use kanji for the sound and not necessarily the meaning, e.g. why America used to be written 亜米利加 a-me-ri-ka and thus shortened to 米国 beikoku, "rice country")
