Japanese Snacks...POCKY!

Mayo Lovvvves Japanese Snacks, especially Pocky! Today Mayo is proud to show off Mayo's looks-tasty-and-delicious collections.

Pocky is a famous snack produced by Glico Company of Japan, first sold in the year 1966, earlier before most of us were born!



The thin biscuit stick topped with chocolate were named as Pocky due to the sound produced when bitten, pokkin ~~~ (ポッキン).

(Japanese has an interesting manner of defining a word for every sound they heard)


Pocky's CM


Mayo has eaten most of them and left only the box (・_・;)
Which one of these have you tried before?

Super Thin Pocky (Click here for CM)

The ancestors of Pocky variations,
Strawberry Pocky & Almond Pocky

Bite size chocolate by Lotte & Meiji

Baby Bamboo Choc.


Meiji is yet another popular Japanese Snack Company, named after a period in Japan history which represents the first half of the Empire of Japan - Meiji era (明治時代).

And they have their own version of Pocky, which is thicker in comparison.
Mayo's favourite is the Green Tea Flavoured Fran Creamy Mousse



Mayo just bought these few days ago and is the most expensive ones compared to previous shown. And with no second though, Mayo shouted 「Oishii~!」



There are many variations produced for the same commercial, Mayo-chan wonders if it's a special trend for CM in Japan?
