The Chronic Consumer

Pocky is a very popular Japanese snack that has gotten a bit of a bad name recently because of its widespread appeal to fanboys and manga/anime freaks. While many Americans still might not even know about Pocky, those who do seem to greet the topic with an eyeroll because of the aforesaid reason. But that doesn’t change the fact that Pocky is, quite simply, one of the best snack foods I’ve ever had. My all-time favorite variety is Almond Crush Pocky, which I could eat every day for the rest of my life.

Almond Crush Pocky features the traditional Pocky “biscuit” stick, and is covered with dark chocolate and bits of crushed almonds. The taste combination of these three items is amazing, and really fills my snacking need whenever I grab a pack. Of course, I pay for the goodness in terms of calories, but hey, it’s nothing a brisk walk can’t work off!
