Pocky?

I like the G Pocky.

You mean the chinese cookie sticks covered with dark chocolate?

The Japanese ones, yep; they come in many varieties.

I didn't vote, because I don't know them. But if it contains enough chocolate is probably OK

Different varieties contain different amounts of chocolate; some contain none (e.g., the salty ones or the milk-flavoured ones). It seems that the "limited edition" ones might contain more

EDIT: My bad... the salty ones are Pretz... the Pocky are the ones with chocolate... :oops:

But have you tried the other ones? I agree regular Pocky's not that great, but man I love G Pocky.

What's G Pocky?

I've had original Pocky and Men's Pocky, and they're pretty decent, but I prefer Koala No March. Plus, with Koala No March, you get overwhelming cuteness.

Next time you see your Pocky dealer, look for G; it comes in regular and strawberry (I haven't tried the strawberry yet).

Hey man, Pocky rules

They come in so many different sizes and flavors, so many imitation things too.

What, like Pretz (yuck!)?

Hmmm... Oh, you mean Giant Pocky? I've always wondered about it... Insanely expensive, though.

Slaugh · **Posted:** Fri Dec 31, 2004 9:30 pm

I think the "G" stands for "Glico"...

Quote:

The first of these chocolate-dipped wheat sticks was launched by Glico Corporation in 1965. Glico was amazed at the success and popularity of Chocoteck - as they were first called - with sales reaching three times their original estimate. Chocoteck was soon renamed Pocky in recognition of the "pockin" sound they make when munched.

Nope; not Giant Pocky (bigger isn't really better in this case); it's the one that Slaugh has linked images to above this post.

Which is why, as I said, bigger isn't better in the case of Giant Pocky.

I'm sticking to my guns with G Pocky.

I think Pocky might be expensive everywhere. Look at the prices on glico.co.jp (they list only a few limited-edition ones), 1050 yen for the special Pocky's, almost CAD$15 :shock:

EDIT: Giant Pocky's there... still, 1500 yen...

Probably..... I rarely eat them.... if I do... its usually other people that had bought and sharing the "wealth" with me.

Pocky?
