One of the best things about going to Japanese markets is finding out what new import flavors of Pocky they have. I always pick up a box when there's a flavor I haven't seen before.

The Almond Crunch Pocky is a favorite of mine and if not available, I go for the Cookies and Cream or good old fashioned Strawberry. The cocoa one is just OK in my book. Pretz pizza is okay, but like Joe said, it's got a weird taste to it. That being said, everytime I go to my local Tokyo Central or Daiso, I'm on the hunt for new flavors I haven't seen before. The banana is a pass. Not so good.

Oh man, Pocky. My first job out of college was at the ad agency that handled (US) Pocky’s social media! I didn’t work on the account, but my hand made an appearance in one of their Instagram photos 😂 We always had US Pocky, Pretz, and Pejoy in our snack closet. They sent us a big box of the Japanese ones once. I looooved those tiny Japanese Pocky sticks… Y’all should talk about Calbee at some point. They have some interesting product differences between Japan and the US too!

@bexyPTX 2 жыл бұрын

If Joe was trying to prove a point by saying that people don’t just eat straight up croutons by themselves, that’s based on a lie. I definitely did a lot of that when I was younger and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it now

@victoriamahon3765 2 жыл бұрын

It’s funny that you mock the corn pretz but I actually love them! I have stomach problems and can’t eat corn usually but I can eat the corn flavored pretz because they’re not really corn, so they don’t upset my stomach. They’re so yummy! They remind me a lot of like corn pops or another sweet corn cereal from when I was a kid they have a similar flavor profile.
