Chocolate Pocky Unwrapping And Taste Test Review

To Pockystan we go!
The land of singing cats and bizarre vending machines!

Packaging

The front looks like a giant bouquet of flowers. A sugary, brown, and oddly thin bouquet of flowers. It reminds me of the bouquet of flowers bridesmaids always try to catch at a wedding. But, I'm betting it's totally different in Japan. These Pocky treats aren't exactly a secret, they're HUGE overseas. It wouldn't surprise me if the married couple threw packets of Pocky into the crowd. Come to think of it, that sounds incredibly dangerous. You gotta watch out for those sharp corners man, boxes are notorious for it. It's one of the things people seem to be so paranoid about nowadays. I could understand doing it for babies, but not for grown adults. Babies are soft and stupid, worst yet, they're mobile! There's no telling what things they could walk into. Here's something to try when you get a chance. Bring yourself down to your knees and crawl around like an infant. It's a classic technique used by professional baby proofers to gauge how dangerous a house is. If you really want to take it to the next level, flatten yourself out like a Persian rug and slide around. Pretend you're Flubber and bounce yourself off walls. There was this whole genre of weird movies in the 90's. Stuff like, "Honey I Shrunk The Kids", "Flubber", and "Bicentennial Man". The kind of movies you thought were awesome as a kid and still bring out that giddy feeling whenever you see the opening credits. One movie I still remember, was the remake of "The Little Rascals" . I was visiting my relatives in New York and hanging out in their basement when I saw the VHS tape. At that point, I knew absolutely nothing about "The Rascals" (I still don't), but I figured it'd be worth a hoot. Immediately, I was captivated by these hooligans. I don't know if it was Alfalfa's hair, A.J Ferguson, or the entire concept of the He-Man Woman's Hater's Club. All I know is, I must have watched that tape a good 20 times or more. I would watch it every spring we went over to their house. It a flick that stands the test of time.

BUCKWHEAT! HURR DURR!


Taste, Texture, And Consistency

What a snap these things have! Every stick is impeccably light and airy.I actually picked up a couple different varieties of these things. The basic chocolate one is fantastic, but the strawberry cream version is on a whole other level! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to mix pretzels and a strawberry milkshake? WONDER NO MORE! The strawberry sticks were even better than the chocolate ones! Very rarely do I opt for fruit instead of chocolate, but this one takes the cake. Or the pretzel. Whichever you feel like eating right now. As I'm writing this review, I'm eating these weird ravoli treats. I threw them in the oven for a few minutes at 400 degrees and smothered a bit of garlic and cheese pasta sauce. They're okay, but I keep thinking I'm going to taste Pocky every time I take a bite. It's like that time I was parched after a long run and was looking for something to drink in the fridge. All I had was full fat milk, so I decided to have a glass. But for some reason, the taste of Gatorade flashed briefly in my mind and I thought I was going to get a mouthful of that.

It did not end well.

Overall

Very Japanese, very crispy, and downright terrific. Pocky is everything I look for in a snack and more. I'll probably be making a couple dozen trips down to Chinatown after this review. I hope those shopkeepers appreciate me putting their kids through college with my chocolate addiction.

Actually to play the "Pocky© Game"

First you need:

1. A box of Pocky©

2. Two or more people

3. No embarrassment ;D

What you do is two people bite the Pocky©, getting closer to your opponent as you eat, once your lips meet, you have to stay kissing. Whoever breaks the kiss, loses. Best to play with friends to make it as awkward as possible ;D

I believe that's called "The Lady And The Tramp" game.

And it's played with spaghetti.

[ReadingWeirdo]

@gummybears509

The pocky game consists of two people and a pocky stick. One person on each end, and you munch until whoever gets the bigger piece wins. It's really hard to explain. xD Just look up pocky game and you'll get it. It's also a perfect game for Valentine's Day, if you know what I mean. ;D

[DuhAsainGuy]

I saw a bunch of different flavours in a store but they DIDNT HAVE THE ORIGINAL WTF!!!!!!!
