Pocky, Pocky, Pocky

Looking for the perfect sweet treat for your Japanese themed party? I found POCKY... what? You don't know what Pocky is?

Pocky is a popular Japanese snack that is best described as a cookie/cracker/biscuit with a flavored coating (sometimes more than one)... though that description pales in comparison to the tastebud joys and delights of the actual treat.

Before your next anime marathon, order up a range of yummy Pocky flavors to amuse and impress. AND, the site listed below also has Hi-Chews (think Starburst -- Japanese style), gums (yes, even BLACKBLACK gum), rice crackers, Hello Kitty candies, creamy biscuits, wasabi peas and nuts, and more.

And then you can wash it all down with a bottle of Ramune (a sweet flavored carbonated beverage in a nifty bottle... aka "soda").

Available Pocky flavors (at the time of this review): Chocolate Pocky, Strawberry Pocky, Reverse Chocolate Pocky, Almond-Crush Mild Pocky, Decorer Strawberry Pocky, Mousse Royal Milk Tea Pocky, Men's Pocky (dark chocolate), G Berry Pocky, Winter Pocky Special (fine chocolate only available during winter because of likely melting in the summer), Coconut Milk Pocky, Mousse Chocolate Pocky, and Strawberry Bits Pocky.

Price: at the time of this review
$0.89 - $2.89 (per box -- pocky sticks per box range from 10-44)
