Pocky etc! <3

Pocky, and other Meiji products. (Click for larger image)
From left to right: 2006 Limited Edition "Takenokono Sato Cookie Ichigo Meiji Br" (I have no idea), Hello Panda Chocolate (Yes, the infamoust "Hello Panda".), Fromage "Koeda Fromage Morinaga Br) [looks like the thing before Br is the Company, Formage is by Morinaga, for example], Pucca Chocolate Banana Flavored, the famous Pocky, Apollo Choco, Strawberry flavored chocolate and chocolate, together for a powerful sweet taste, oh, it's simply delicious, and las, Reverse Choco [It's like an inverted Pocky!]. Oh, and hidden in the back is is Momo no Tenten Sui. I was told it was a peach drink, and it does taste like it, but the ingredients say apple, not peach! Oy!
EDIT: Oh, it seems my phone made a guest appearance! That blue bump behind the phone is my Winnie the Pooh in a Cat suit dangler thing.

And, as promised, SOME pictures from a Japanese market in San Gabriel, California (near LA).
* The wide shot, trying to get as much into it as possible, but there's still a lot of the row missing on the right side. Picture 1
* Pretz, Pocky, and other assorted Candies! Picture 2
* More of the above, with a different assortment lol Picture 3

EDIT: Ok, that limtied Edition thing on the left is delicious. I didn't come here to post about that though, but now, thinking about it, I guess I could review the snacks I have purchased. I brought it up though, to point out the awesome box design. I've seen this once before, and would like to share THIS with you all today.

The Box is HUGE, and as you can see from my phone, the treats inside are huge too (individually wrapped for your convenience). The top of the box (refer to the first picture) opens all the way around, and leaves the back (with indents to bend easier) folds down, and forms a box top. It's tight enough to hold itself cloesd, but not tight enough to cause trouble. Japan amazes me. <3

The treat itself is a blend between crunchy, sweet, and a bit of tangyness. It's an overall pleasureable experience, but I don't know if I'd go crazy over it. While it's good, It wasn't enough to make me need a change of pants.

Hello Panda is the same as Koalas, or any misc. ammount of Chocolate filled biscuts you see on the market... so you know it's good. =P

Fromage is an interesting flavor, it's that flavor I can't quite place, it's not chocolate in flavor, (or at least what I'm use to), it has butter, cocoa, and cheese butter as some of the ingredients, and it's strange. It's not bad, but it's not what I expected. I'll give it a try again later. The box is filled with eight of 2 packs (each pack is individually wrapped). Firm, a slight crunch to it (from rice krispy type things), creamy, and pretty good. Numnum <3

Pucca Banana is good, chocolate cookie outside, sweet banana inside. It's not too sweet, and the chocolate is a little too strong, and hides the banana goodness, but it's still good.

Pocky: nuff said.

Strawberry things I've had before, and they are just amazing. If you like chocolate, get it. That's all there is to it.

Reverse Choco: Delicious. It's a cookie outside with chocoalte filling inside. It's solid, and I mean solid. They arent light pocky sticks, you've got yourself a flavor packed stick of chocolate cookie and chocolate filling. Yummy <3

There was a mousse flavored pocky I got last week. It was spelled mousee (like the dessert), but the nutrition facts say "Moose", like the animal. It put me off, but was ok. There's also "Digestive Pocky", it was high in fiber or something, but it made it sound off. Oh, Engrish *sigh*

Smitten Kitten: rawr! Very interesting indeed! :D

DayngrGirl: Pocky! Glico describes it as "Chocolate covered biscut sticks". Glico makes pocky, I think they know what they're talking about. <3
