while it sounds more like some bizarre condition one would contract in a foreign country, pocky is actually a delicious japanese treat.
made by glico, the original and by far, most favorite pocky flavor is the chocolate cream (which is milk chocolate for all the choco conoissuers out there).
well, what, long weekend style, exactly is pocky that you speak of?
it's a crisp, biscuit consistency cookie about the size of a #2 pencil. approximately 3/4 of it has been dipped in chocolate. a 1" section has been left intentionally non-choco-coated so that one can enjoy pocky without the messy transfer of chocolate to one or all 5 fingers.
pocky are quite addictive and one can eat an entire packet of pocky (there are about 20 pocky sticks in eack packet) without realizing it.
pocky is also available with strawberry instead of chocolate, chocolate with almonds and our favorite, "mens" which is dark chocolate. apparently godzilla must be a fan of pocky because glico also makes giant pocky which is the same as the original but just sized for hands that could smash the chrysler building or all of tokyo.
pocky is available at japanese markets, like mitsuwa, nationwide or online through www.amazon.com and retails for $1.99 for the 2 pack pictured above.
get wild, get pocky people!
