Pocky is a
mood-altering crunchy pretzel stick/cookie coated in chocolate.
Well, it actually comes in many flavors, but chocolate is Spooky's
personal favorite.
Having a bad day? Eat some Pocky and forget
about your problems. Tire flat on your SUV? You won't
care if you're munching Pocky! There isn't a Keebler elf who
wouldn't sell
his fairy godmother for Pocky.

being fluent in Japanese, I don't really have any idea
what's in these things. Probably sugar, sunshine, and
some super happy flavoring. |

A
typical Pocky box contains three packages of five sticks
each.
Glico,
the manufacturer, advertises the snack as being "for
the intelligent connoisseur," but we like them anyway. |

in southern Indiana, we don't really experiment much with
our diet around these parts. Heck, putting spaghetti
in our chili is considered pretty exotic.
I'm
very lucky to receive a care package about once a year from
my friends
GOMA
& TON
in Tochigi, Japan. That's how I was introduced to
Pocky.
In
addition to the mother load of Pocky this year, the kids
also got some
very
tasty treats! |
