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.
Pocky
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?
When I worked at the prison behind my house, my boss thought it was the greatest thing ever....so did the inmates....I'm just like hey, it's just biscuit sticks
Delicious. Just a shame it has such a negative connotation.i'm totally clueless about this
explain?
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.
A couple of months ago I found out this store by my parents house had some and thats when I had it for the first time, along with these kinda cookie panda things with chocolate in it.
And yes they were very delicious.
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.
@Axxol said: Yes, it is very popular in Korea, but it has spread world-wide.Yes, I've had the chocolate ones. They're good.
I thought Pocky taste better tbh.
the banana one was way too sickly for my liking. i dont get people who are obsessed with them.
give me safari biscuits any day.
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.
@drag said: Basically, boxes of something called "Men's Pocky" came with porn in them. Hence the phrase Pocky Porn.That is hilarious.
Very true, and I expected him to be closely following if Pocky was mentioned.
Double disappointment!
I have no idea why I called them safari biscuits or something.
I meant Cadbury Animals :P
I'll get in trouble for bumping this entire thread but here's a picture to show you what I originally meant:
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 okay, nothing special imho. I'm more particular with the strawberry one. Anybody try this?:
