ok.. got a little history to put on the pocky thread.. kinda funny actually
personally ive only had it once or twice.. strawberry and chocolate, yumm!!  Pocky (????, pokkii?) (Japanese pronunciation IPA: /pok?i?/) listen (help·info) is a Japanese snack food produced by the Ezaki Glico Company of Japan. It 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 (????). 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 South Korea. In Europe, Pocky is renamed Mikado after the game Mikado. In the United States and Canada, Pocky can be found in Asian supermarkets (such as Mitsuwa) and the international section of most large supermarkets, such as Wegman's, as well as Wal-Mart Supercenters and anime convention dealers' rooms. In Malaysia, Pocky was renamed as Rocky, perhaps to avoid a vulgar word in Malay with similar pronunciation. Pocky has recently been marketed in America by LU, a company of the Danone Group, although it is also marketed by Ezaki Glico's American division, Ezaki Glico USA Corporation. In Australia, Pocky is usually sold in Japanese convenience markets along with other Japanese foods and products. Outside of Japan, Pocky is fairly popular among Japanophiles and 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. the flavors of pocky!!! * 1 Chocolate flavors * 2 Fruit/Nut flavors * 3 Mousse flavors * 4 Decorer flavors * 5 Seasonal flavors * 6 Regional flavors * 7 Reverse * 8 Fortune Telling Pocky * 9 Pocky G * 10 Five Flavor Combination * 11 Crush * 12 Special Occasion flavors * 13 European Pocky (Mikado) * 14 Other Pocky flavors * 15 References Chocolate flavors * Anime Pocky * Chocolate * Giant Chocolate * Giant Double Choco * Gokuboso Pocky (Superfine Pocky) * Little Pocky * Marble Pocky Chocolate * Marble Royal Milk Tea * Men’s Pocky Fruit/Nut flavors * Almond * Chocolate Almond Crush * White Chocolate Almond Crush * White Chocolate/Chocolate Almond Crush * Café au Lait Almond Crush * Mild Milk Almond Crush * Honey White Almond Crush * Anglaise Almond Crush * Banana * Choco Banana * Coconut * Coconut Milk * Cinnamon Apple * Green Apple * Mango * Melon * Pine Cream * Strawberry * Tsubu Tsubu Strawberry * Tsubu Tsubu Giant Strawberry Mousse flavors * Azuki * Black & Latte * Blueberry Yogurt * Choco * Chocolate * Extra Chocolate * Mild Chocolate * Hazelnut Milk Chocolate * Custard * Green Tea * Hokkaido White * Royal Milk Tea * Strawberry * Tiramisu * White * New White Decorer flavors * Berry Chocolate * Grape Mild Chocolate * Lemon Chocolate * Mont-Blanc White Chocolate * Peach & Strawberry Chocolate * White Wedding Chocolate * Apple Cream Custard * Bananu Semi-Sucrée * Chocolat de Caramel * Fraise au Chocolat * Gateau Chocolat * Strawberry Gâteau Seasonal flavors Special Pocky flavors available only during certain seasons. * Winter - Fuyuno Kuchidoke (Winter Melt-in-Mouth) * Winter - Murasaki Imo (Sweet Potato) * Spring - Honey * Summer - Kiwi Mango * Cocoa Powder Regional flavors Special Pocky flavors available only in certain regions of Japan. * Nagano - Grape * Hokkaido - Yubari Melon * Kyushu - Kyushu Giant Mikan * Kyoto - Kyoto Powdered Tea Azuki Bean * Kobe - Kobe Wine Reverse * Reverse * White * Strawberry Fortune Telling Pocky * Honey & Milk * Grape * Strawberry Pocky G * Pocky G * Berry * Neil Five Flavor Combination Pocky with a combination of five flavors.

I just bought some chocolate pocky yesterday at my local grocer and let me say this........Chocolate is my favorite flavor so far. XD
I am weak when it comes to dark chocolate and that dark chocolate pocky really hits the spot. XD

Holy cow! That sure is a lot of flavors. Way more then I thought they would ever have... What exactly is "Anime Pocky" and "Men's Pocky" ?? Giant Chocolate sounds interesting are the flavored sticks larger or something? Oh, have any idea what is special about the seasonal flavors? In the winter is the pocky supposed to heat you up or something? The special summer flavors make sense to me, but what is this "melt-in-mouth"? I imagined a hot chocolate one. All the other ones that I quoted look really good as well.
