I know the Giant Bomb community is all over the world (as evidenced by the crazy foods in the mailbags), so I was wondering if any of you have had Pocky? I went to a paintball tournament recently, and we ate the stuff all the way for the 18 hour trip. 
 
That stuff is weird, but surprisingly delicious.

Funfact: The way my cousin decided to cheer me up after my terrible day on Friday was to send me Pocky porn.

Yup. It's unfortunate. Actually, I was talking about Pocky at school and almost got in trouble. Whoops!

I've had actual Pocky once. 
In the UK there's ones called "Mikado" and it's basically the same thing. 
 
They're not really that amazing. 
Just like any other snack thing aren't they?

It's the myth, mostly. You're right, it's basically the same thing as other snack foods, although I still stand by the notion that it is better in taste and texture.  
 
But Pocky is just so damn mysterious!

That looks/sounds so familiar. Is it a Korean snack?

Yeah they have it at Target by my house. It's good stuff, but they aren't anything super special besides having an awesome name.

Let's face it -they're meh.  They're the equivalent of Rich Tea biscuits.  A single digestive biscuit is a lot better than 6 pockys.  Chocolate Rich Tea and Digestives are not as good as the basic.

@WoodenPlatypus: Mikado is way more expensive as well. You can get Pocky in cash and carrys and that for about 50p. 
 
I liked the chocolate one, banana Pocky is disgusting. Sometimes though, I get a slight taste of lard when eating them..

Strawberry, Pumpkin, WINTER FUDGE (YES IT IS AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS), etc. 
 
I eat tons of Pocky and Botan Rice Candy. I only found chocolate Pocky in Japan, which I don't care for.

Very true, and I expected him to be closely following if Pocky was mentioned.

@WoodenPlatypus: Weird that your reply didn't pop up in my inbox. Anyway, I thought they tasted pretty much the same. What's a safari biscuit?

I still go to chocolate flavor. All I can get here in BC in most stores is Strawberry and Chocolate. I'm a large fan of the chocolate, strawberry flavored anything is too damn sweet for my tastes.

I have no idea why I called them safari biscuits or something. 
I meant Cadbury Animals :P

Mikado and Pocky are exactly the same thing. They're made by the same company and they're exactly the same. They're just marketed differently.

Ah well that explains why they both taste amazingly average together. 
I don't get why people are obsessed with them at all.

Pocky is awesome! It can be a little rare to come about but it's got a great taste.

Pocky is a delicious snack, though I've never found it cheap. For this reason, I don't eat it often.
