Pocky is basically a thin cookie stick dipped in chocolate. It comes from Japan, and comes in a ridiculous number of varieties.

Answer 3

Pocky is a yummy snack.

Pocky is a Japanese snack food produced by the Ezaki Glico Company of Japan. "Pocky" is pronounced like "pokki" IPA: /pokːi/ however many English speakers pronounce it as written, to rhyme with "hockey". The classic form of Pocky was first sold in 1965, under the name "Chocoteck", and consists of a biscuit stick coated with chocolate. Pocky was an instant hit among Japanese teenagers, and brought in sales of 30 billion yen in its first two years. The name was changed to "Pocky", after the Japanese onomatopoetic word for the sound Pocky makes when bitten, pokkin (ポッキン). The original was followed by "Almond Pocky" in 1971, with an almond coating, and "Strawberry Pocky" in 1977. Today, the product line includes such variations as milk, mousse, green tea and coconut flavored coatings, and themed products such as "Decorer Pocky", with colorful decorative stripes in the coating, and "Men's Pocky", a dark (bittersweet) chocolate and "mature" version.

Pocky is very popular in Japan. In bars, it is sometimes served in a glass of ice water. It also has a significant presence in other East Asian countries such as China and Korea. In Europe, Pocky is renamed Mikado after the game Mikado. In the United States and Canada, Pocky can be found in Asian supermarkets and the international section of most large supermarkets, as well as Wal-Mart Supercenters and anime convention dealers' rooms. In Malaysia, Pocky was renamed by the Glico Company as Rocky, perhaps to avoid a vulgar word in Malay that almost sound similar.

Outside of Japan, Pocky is fairly popular among Japanophiles and otaku (anime fans). Its constant association with the Engrish phenomenon and the oddness of some of its versions (like the "Men's Pocky" bittersweet flavor), as well as the several Pocky parodies seen on many anime/manga series, contribute to the snack's reputation.

Answer 4

It's a wonderful cracker shaped like a stick. It's usually dipped in delicious light pink (which is strawberry flavor) dipping, or in scrumptious chocolate. :o

At least, I think you're talking about Pocky Sticks.

Answer 5

If you are in New Zealand it is a english toffee tasting candy.
