Down with pocky!!!

[HuggalotXOmocha]

Those remind me of these... straw...thingies. D: I forgot what they were but they were crispy and flaky and THEY CAME IN A RED METAL BOX. I liked those too. Ahh, childhood.

Omg...makes me wanna go drive out and buy some right now...  >:(

Ranch Market?! XD

Love Letters, I think that's what they're called?

[JTchinoy]

I know them as barquillos.

[Jun-Watarase]

Oh I had no idea what pocky was, but I damn well knew every Filipino kid of the day grew up with Yan-Yans and those tiny jello cups.

I know straight ahead what you mean by 'those tiny jello cups'! I grew up with both Yan-Yan and those together. Pocky is overrated. Otakus like...orgasm over it or something. "OMFG POCKY! LULZ. POCKY RUULLEZ" x3 Especially the original chocolate one. I don't see what's so special about it. Persnally, I think it's bitter. >.o with it being dark chocolate and all.

We should stick to vegetables! xD

That's the thing. There ISN'T anything special about it.

Most Asian kids have had those tiny lychee jello cups. A lot of them grew up with both Pocky and Yan Yan. Both are okay snacks, both are overrated. Don't speak for Otaku when you say that they orgasm over the mention of Pocky-- there are tons of weeaboos that treat ANYTHING Asian and/or specifically Japanese the same way.

Pocky isn't bad. It's a cheap snack. I liked it as a kid, along with a shitload of other Glico and Meiji snacks and candies. The only reason people love or are against it is because it's a mainstream Asian snack advertised in America via anime. Liking it or hating doesn't make anyone cooler. It's just following a trend, then being against a trend after they get over it, assuming it's still trendy.

What about ramen? Those so-called otaku are all over that, amirite? There's good ramen, bad ramen, of which many of them can't even tell the difference. Ramen doesn't suck. It's not "otaku-food". They're noodles. It's food. You like them because they're tasty, not because you saw it on Naruto and think it'll make you cooler than everyone else.

Blah blah blah... if you don't like dark chocolate because it's bitter, maybe you shouldn't have chose dark chocolate? It's SUPPOSED to be bitter.

I'm going to pretend i'm in denail for a second.

You're wrong! Yan yans forever!!!

/in denial

A bit off topic, but...

I honestly can't touch ramen anymore.

You know those foods that your parents fed you all the time when you were a baby (not Gerber brand mushy gunk, actual food in a form you can identify) and you'd scarf it down not knowing any better? For me, it's ramen. I can't even look at a bowl of the stuff without having to turn my head away for air.

Back on topic...

JT, these pastillas, JT - OMG. OMG, JT, these pastillas. When I first had these, I thought they were going to be identical to White Rabbit or something. Pastillas put WR to freakin' shame. Sugary AND milky textures in the same damn package? Yes.

[JTchinoy]

My dad normally brings 4-5 boxes home from the philippines at a time. :)
Can't beat nice and fresh from the original makers of pastillas. ;)

[Kazuko]

mmmm barquillos :d I used to have a tin of thoes when I was little and last year

:d to be honest I did have pocky when I was a kid and up untill now I only like the decora/cake ones and the chestnut flavored along with strawberry.

But I also grew up with Peruvian snacks, Oh man I could go to town with a box full of princessa

not unless youre a bee.


pocky's okay...

you are all wrong, though.  eff yan-yans... this is america. and in america, we support the girl scouts. 

part of that means eating thin mints, aka CRACK-COCAINE.

chocolate, mint, and apparently some sort of instananiously addicting substance combines to create the thin-mint, the emperor of snack foods, the vanguard of the girl scout cavalry.

none can defeat it.  none.
