It's Pocky Day!

Today is Veteran's Day (or Remembrance Day, if you are Canadian). But 11/11 is also Pocky Day. (I didn't realize that there were so many different flavors!) To pay tribute to this wonderful snack food, let's take a look at some favorites from Glico's Pocky website:

  • Pocky Decorer: "just like a decoration cake on a stick." Any food is better "on a stick."
  • Mousse Pocky (which I always want to read as "Mouse Pocky"): "Lighten up your day with Pocky's super […] chocolate." Mmmm… super-chocolate.
  • Pocky Kurogoma: "Please enjoy the fragrant flavor of black sesame" and Pocky Kinako: "Please enjoy the fragrant flavor of soybean flour." So polite, they're begging to be liked. Try us, even though we're freaky and don't contain chocolate!
  • My personal favorite: Men's Pocky (bitter chocolate). It looks like they have changed the packaging, which used to read: Crispy pretzel dipped in dark chocolate for the type of person who enjoys the finer points in life.

Happy Pocky Day, everyone!

Thanks for the link— I have to admit that the initial comment left me a bit baffled. All is made clear.

I had guessed that. :-)
