Recently I visited one of the local stores and found a set of Pocky in a very cute plastic wrap titled "Lovely Halloween". I have the picture below so you can see it for yourself. I proceeded to purchase the item and visited a couple of my friends to ask them for their opinions. In case you are unable to read Japanese (as I was unable to at the time of trying them), the three flavors within the package are Strawberry, Pumpkin Apple, and Milk! I hope you were as equally shocked as I was to hear that milk was a flavor. To begin this weird flavored pocky journey, I chose to begin with the weirdest flavor: milk.
I was unable to get any of my friends to try this flavor, so I will do my best to give you my perspective on it. When you look at the pocky stick, it appears as though it was dipped in a glass of milk because of how translucent the white chocolate is. I expected it to taste like white chocolate; however, I was very wrong. It indeed tasted like milk. The smooth and creamy taste was honestly addictive. However, the flavor lasts a shorter amount of time. The next flavor I chose is a lot more common to find in the terms of pocky, which is strawberry. My opinion: It is not bad to be honest. Although it is not my favorite flavor, as it tastes very artificial. Makka the Amerikan’s Opinion: It was kinda like eating strawberry shortcake in a stick form. The cream tastes like strawberry milk. I saved Pumpkin Apple Pocky as the last review. My Opinion: It really is not that spectacular. It tastes like white chocolate. This is the most disappointing Pocky I have ever tasted. Sanae’s Opinion: This tastes like white chocolate on a stick…. What flavor is this supposed to be? (Otaku-kun: “Pumpkin Apple.”) Okay…. (Otaku-kun: “It tastes nothing like it, right?”) Not even close. I suggest you venture out into the realm of pocky and try these flavors out for yourself. Don’t be afraid to try something new. You never know what you may end up falling in love with. - Otaku-kun, the Adventurer.
