American Pocky


An American equivalent of Pocky or Pretz.
I don't think there is anything else like this in the US market as of right now.

Another Spiderman Sighting


In less than one month, I've seen Spiderman juxtaposed next to Pocky in some way shape or form. Here's another sighting. This one came from a blog I randomly stumbled upon. Although they are not in the same photograph, I still think I'm on to something...

Real Hello Kitty Pocky




So we know about all the Hello Kitty Imposter Pocky, but did you know that there are legitimate Hello Kitty Pocky (and Pretz) from Glico? I didn't and feel like I was missing out. Look how cute they are.

Pocky Imposter: Chocky


Found yet another imposter online. I need to do an imposter line-up!

So, apparently, this CHOCKY fellow is a pure imposter, most likely from China according the blog I found this image on. It's really funny because the person who found this was all excited to try it out (although warily), and it turns out that it's just completely gross. Go figure.

Because a Pocky-face should always be sticking out of your bag




This has got to be one of the most hilarious things I've seen in a while. Apparently, a cute pic of an animal is printed on the back of the box and the perforated arms can be pulled out so that it looks like a dog, panda or even penguin is hanging out on the side of your bag. Way to promote that Pocky, Japan!
