It's a pretzel with really cheap chocolate/other cheap flavoring. It isn't the end of the world if someone dislikes it.

Wasn't talking to you, but anyway.
Most of the sweets are like that anyway.
I'm not saying everyone has to like Pocky. I just barely come across people that dislike them.
The milk one is the only one I really like.

I actually claim to adore pocky, in 'real life'. I really like it, but not as much as it looks like I do. XD

What I really adore is Konpeito. *drool*

I think Pocky is really popular for two reasons. First, it's one of the most easily accessible snack foods outside of Japan. I mean, you can even find it at like Walmart; you don't have to go to Asian grocers to find it. And second, it's kind of hard to screw up a pretzel stick with chocolate on it. You'll be hard pressed to find people who don't mind it at the very least.

I personally don't really care for Pocky because it's just that; a pretzel stick with chocolate. Because I'm in Japan, there's a much wider variety of junk foods so one doesn't have to limit themselves to what they can only find outside of the country (like Pocky, Yan-Yan, etc).


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
