If you've ever been in a Japanese grocery store, most likely you've seen Pocky. This delectable treat can be found even in some local Wal-Marts. However, this kind, is a bit harder to find, as it appears to have pieces of strawberry in the creme coating. Pocky is manufactured all around the world by Glico, in Japan.
Very Cool Packaging
The packaging on these treats appears to be a bit more feminine, with cute little accents. One feature that sticks out to me is the almost paper-like plastic that surrounds the Pocky. It's very soft and slightly tinted with a few little pictures of strawberries. It's one of those things that kind of makes you smile while eating it... YUM!
See... CUTE advertising!
The actual TASTE of these sweet sticks are a perfect mix of tart to sweet. I would say, given my recent lent promise to give up chocolate, these will be my crutch. In short, these sweet biscuits have a great natural taste as opposed to the traditional strawberry pocky.
Random Pocky Commercial
The final verdict on these is that I will most likely buy them again... They are really flavorful, come in perfectly portioned packs, and are a lighter alternative to the chocolate kind. Overall I give these an 8.5 out of 10, with 10 being the best. These only get lower marks because I actually PREFER the chocolate ones, but they DO taste great to people who have a craving for something that takes like strawberry.
