They sell all kinds of imported brands in the Asian markets where I live. D:

My favourite... the dessert special kind with orange and chocolate. I would die happy with those. And honey and milk, but they don't sell that here anymore since it isn't as popular, but the lady told me she'd order some in if I really wanted some. ^^ Such nice people.. But then again, I regularly stop by those shops every few months. XD (I don't visit the city often, at least not that section because parking isn't as easy and we aren't used to certain types of... people.)

There's blueberry and banana drizzled with delightful chocolate swirls. D: But they're usually harder to get.. One store hasn't sold pocky in awhile, which makes me sad but understandable. I just like to eat it when I'm writing. Back in middle school, even though he bullied me, I always bought the guy who bothered me dark chocolate pocky for his birthday or other occasions. He really loved it, but everyone would steal it from him. XD

They need to put a WARNING on the package. That stuff is highly potent to start a riot over it.

I've been eating Pocky since I was a child.

Now it's a cliche Otaku snack, sold in even the manga section of book stores, but I've always liked them. :3

I get a 20 pack of chocolate pocky every christmas. Ive still got 2 boxes left from that, I also usually buy about 15 boxes when I go to the expo's.

Ive tried chocolate, Dark Chocolate, milk, strawberry, almond, banana and chocolate mint swirl

I always wanted to try blueberry, but Ive only seen them once and they were £5 a box @,@ I was like..."no..."

Pocky is nice but its over-rated. its become as Seiyuuki said ' a cliché snack'. Mikado is made by the same company, it's generally cheaper and uses a nicer chocolate... but it doesn't say pocky on the packet so many turn there noses up at it.

so i really dont get the big deal over it.

its got a different buiscuit stick as well, largely the reason I like pocky is because it mixes a savoury (the buiscuit base) with a sweet (flavouring) wheras with Mikado are just lengthened cadburys fingers. I dont go mad over pocky but I prefer them to Mikado...well until they do milk flavoured Mikado...when they do that all shall be forgiven and there sales will increase by 50%

I rarely eat candy, but I've eaten Pocky since I was a kid too. Though as far as Japanese candies go, Rice Candy is the best.

I've been eating pocky for quite a few years now. =3 I haven't tried many different kinds though.. Mostly just the chocolate and strawberry ones. XD

I always make sure to bring tons home for everyone after a convention. =3

I dun like Mikado.. D:

I like pocky, since I can't eat just chocolate regularly or I break out of get sick. -.-; *can't handle caffeine* And it's just enough. It's good to chew on when thinking, or not thinking, or writing. XD

I want some honey and milk though... bad... ;-; But that's the one that might be harder since it would cost a bit for importing..
