Pocky Day!

Today is November 11, also known as "International Pocky Day". Here's an interesting bit about this day from JList . For those of you who are unaware of Pocky, it is a chocolate (or sometimes other flavor) dipped pretzel stick made by Glico from Japan. Here are a few photos of some unsual variations of Pocky for your enjoyment. These were purchased from either Mitsuwa, Nijiya and Zion. More about Pocky here .

The one on the left is "Marble Chocolate" and the one next to it "Marble GreenTea":
Next you have the delicious and tropical Coconut pocky, then Strawberry (my daughter's favorite) and Tahitian Vanilla.
Celebrate by eating some Pocky!

the men's pocky is "bitter" chocolate. yeah, so manly.

they also have "strawberry crush" pocky which to me, is better than the regular strawberry pocky. they have "crunchies" on them. ooh yum.

Yaaay Pocky! I love that stuff. I do get a kick out of the "Men's" Pocky, it's like the Irish Spring of cookies or something.
