Really? Never seen an oval-shaped container in Japan.

I myself love eating the Strawberry and Bluberry alternately.

actually it doesn't say 28% real strawberry meat, it says 62% strawberry then it's more Japanese & that's all I could get out of it. But I know threr are 2 kinds the pink box & the red & white box, ther red & white box is more natural & y=tastes waaay better.

I wish I could find the blueberry ones

I really dont see whats so special about Pocky. It really just is a stick with a thin layer of choclate on it. It tastes okay but I know alot of candy and chocolate I find more tasty than Pocky. And yes, I have lived for a while in Japan and tasted the real deal.

[Ayumii]

yes, well POCKY isn't that great, but in saying so it's really good when you are craving for a little bit of a sugar hit.
the biscuit and chocolate is a good balance

How do you pronounce "Pocky"? I always thought Pock-e but I met this foreign exchange student years ago and she laughed at me for calling it that and kept saying poke-e. She thought I was an idiot for saying pock-e. So is it poke-e and I was just dumb or is it pock-e and I just met a really hot but very retarded Japanese girl?

Well, if you know any Japanese, it's pronounced ポッキー. You may want to check it with the Pocky commercials on Youtube.

If you are saying the first vowel the same as the "o" in the English word "poke", then you're way off. It's a short Japanese o.

EDIT: OK I may have found a good video for the pronunciation

IMO Pocky is so popular only because it is the most widely available Japanese snack outside Japan. I'm not a fan. Prefer my Pretz. Boyfriend loves Koala's March.
