Pocky!

Post Reply New Topic

it is available in australia. you can find it in asian grocery stores, some safeway supermarkets apparently and anime conventions.

me thinks that the japanese do not have any problem with us eating pocky and other japanese sweets.
chocolate is my favourite. has anyone every had a giant pocky?

I've seen it in the international/Asian section of some shops.

What is strawberry Pocky like? Is it good?

My favorite is Creme Brulee Decorer, and I've always wondered why the hell they would have a kind called "Men's Pocky".

I just tried strawberry Pocky for myself, and it is very good!

Mmmm. Like matchsticks? I haven't tried any yet, but they sure do look delicious.

POCKY STICKS ARE AMAZING. Especially the French vanilla/chocolate swirl variety. :3

I had a friend awhile back who loved these and thried to convince me they were the best thing ever. They're an easy snack for complusive eating, but I do not find them very satisfying. They just don't live up to the hype. Like rabbit90 said, they're very artificial tasting. The chocolate tastes like rubber, the strawberry tastes like Strawberry Quik mix (yuck), the coconut tastes like bland oatmeal, etc. etc. And the biscuit part is always stale. If you like highly processed, mediorce-tasting junk food, they're prefect.

We didn't "nick" them from the Japanese. The Japanese have been heavily marketing them to foreign markets. Despite the "cool" Japanophile aura they have, it's really how they've been marketed here, and that people think it's a Japanophile thing shows how well they've been suckered by a very elementary marketing ploy. One shouldn't confuse mass consumerism with cultural appreciation. A person's no more a Japanophile for eating Pocky than he or she is an Americophile for eating Doritos.

I don't really like Pocky. There are better snacks.

Do you have a Suncoast video store? Most of the Suncoasts in my area sell Pocky and various other Asian snacks in the anime section of the store.

Pocky's pretty good, but it's too expensive for what you're getting. I can usually eat an entire box in, like, five or ten minutes. I'd really rather spend my money on snacks that'd last me a little longer, like Handi Snacks or Dunk-A-Roos.

Mmm Pocky eh?

The one and only POCKY?!

Never heard of it.

I Might try it sometime though.
