Halloween Strawberry Pocky, Milk Coffee Pocky
All right! It’s back to the Asian Aisle you know and…know. I’ve got two items to help get you in the mood for Halloween and fall if you’re not already there: Halloween Strawberry Pocky and Milk Coffee Pocky.
Let’s see them a little more closely, shall we?
Pocky is not only fun on the inside, it’s often fun on the outside, too. This box shows a witch cackling on her broom, bats with wide eyes, and an evil jack-o’-lantern.
Then there’s the ghosts with their arms spread wide, and the scaredy cat. (You knew that I was corny, but did you know I was that corny?)
The colors on this box of Pocky remind me of fall. And I like coffee, so this was an easy buy. Hmm…isn’t it wrong for a cow to be drinking milk coffee?
Since I can’t read Japanese, I’m just going to make up my own translation: And he’s dancin’, dancin’, dancin’…
Some cupids doing their thing on the package of Strawberry Pocky.
I really wish I could read these words. Am I missing out on some cupid cuteness?
A game of archery (I don’t think he has good aim).
Ha! I was…right? Wrong?
Okay, let’s talk about something I do know: Strawberry Pocky.
Although I’ve featured it before, because it’s Pocky, can I really talk about it too much?
You’ll recall that it starts with a biscuit base…
that turns into a sweet strawberry cream…
that smells delicious.
Is there anything bad about Pocky? Wait, don’t answer.
Milk Coffee Pocky.
I don’t have anything to say about it…
except…
it’s…
my new favorite Pocky flavor. If you like Pocky and milk coffee, I think you may like this.
I love it!! I haven’t seen the milk coffee pocky yet, so I’m hoping it will show up soon.
The text by the cow is like… learning questions for kids. “where does the sun rise firsT?” and “what’s the thing standing in the street that turns red and blue(green)?” Definitely less exciting than dancing.
As far as the cupids go, it’s like a fortune. You pick a cupid and on the back side it tells you different topics, and if you talk about the picked topic your love will improve.
Pretty weird!
Sarah G in AK: I only noticed the Milk Coffee Pocky in a store about two weeks ago (Amazon.com shows it as a new flavor). I hope you can find it!
Amarok: You are AWESOME. I love the ‘weirdness.’ Thank you for the translations!
Wa..
we haven’t have the milk coffee pocky flavor in indonesia..
i’m definitely going to buy 1 if we have it..
And since almost all pocky sell in Indonesia is a thai- made pocky [with licence from glico] we don’t have those cute pocky wrapping =((
I did not pay much attention to the cow.
Hahaha..now that you mention it, it does look funny.
I also did not buy the halloween pocky, I figure it the same but just in a different packaging.
