Pocky!




One of my favorite snacks is Pocky. It's a biscuit stick covered in chocolate and its super good. One year, I think it was 10th grade when all my friends were still friends (hah oh high school) I brought in boxes of Pocky for everyone and it was a big hit.

Pocky is a Japanese snack food produced by the Ezaki Glico Company of Japan. It was first sold in 1966,[1] and consists of a biscuit stick coated with chocolate. Pocky was an instant hit among Japanese teenagers, and brought in sales of 30 billion yen in its first two years. The name was changed to "Pocky," after the Japanese onomatopoetic word for the sound Pocky makes when bitten, pokkin (ポッキン). The original was followed by "Almond Pocky" in 1971, with an almond coating, and "Strawberry Pocky" in 1977. Today, the product line includes such variations as milk, mousse, green tea, honey, banana and coconut flavored coatings. - From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocky

I'd love to try the other types of pocky but so far I've only been able to find the Chocolate and Strawberry kind.
Look at it all! Haha
