Excuse me! I always thought you did for some reason. But good luck in your Pocky hunting.

Me, I don't have to 'hunt'. I live in the Pocky Country... I can get about 10 flavors right on my block! :D

well i have bought pocky at grocery stores before. its usually not too hard to find and not much money either. but i dont know if either would be the same where you live.

I just went on Google and apparently Pocky is sold somewhere in my city..so I'll keep a look out :P

If I find some pocky, i'll buy it, then take pictures of me eating it with a big smile on my face! Haha I'm joking...(maybe. :D)

I have no idea what flavors are available abroad but here's the current flavor line-up in Japan. In reality, there are many more but those are all area-restricted and not included in this lie-up. The newset flavor is the 25% calories off kind on top right.

Ahhh..I wanna try the Strawberry and Blueberry pocky. :cool:

It looks so yummy..I'll end up trying to eat my computer screen if I keep looking at these pictures.

I got some Pocky from my local Asian (mostly Chinese) supermarket the other day. I only noticed when I got home that it was from Thailand. I don't think it's as good as the Japanese stuff. It tasted a bit artificial. From now on, I'll check the packaging more carefully.

That must have been disappointing. I've never had Thai-made Pocky myself as I live in Japan, but I've heard that it wasn't nearly as good as the Pocky made and sold in Japan. I'm sure they have to price it much lower in Thailand than in Japan, so they probably produce it accordingly.

I bought one of my favorite flavors yesterday. Chocolate and Crushed Amonds. It's heavenly!

Last week I bought some Pocky from the Korean Market near my Grandma's pad.
It still tasted the same, but they only sold the chocolate Flavor. It was an Oval shaped container made of plastic, and the color was the same. :D
