# non of them in the UK are as good as the ones they sell in japan.

# 'after the game mikado'

# it wouldnt surprise me that they rejected the name 'pocky'

# basically, dark chocolate and a darker, more sophistimacated packet that makes you look less gay.
They should be MEAT flavoured.

I brought a box of GIANT pocky last time i was in LOLjapan. Too much biccy, not enough choccy.

Havent had any for ages though - might get some from tesclows. Glad theyre selling them though - i used to get mine imported from tokyotoys.com or the japan center - they were always the cheaper thai ones and didnt taste as good.

# what minority would be offended by Pocky?
Mikado is an opera about asian stereotypes isn't it?
[edit] reading wikipedia, it seems, yes it is with a bunch of racistlols thrown in as well.
