Pocky is a Japanese snack food produced by the Ezaki Glico Company of Japan. It was first sold in 1965, under the name Chocoteck, and consists of a biscuit stick coated with chocolate. Pocky was an instant hit among Japanese teenagers, and brought in sales of 30 billion yen in its first two years. The name was changed to "Pocky", after the Japanese onomatopoetic word for the sound Pocky makes when bitten, pokkin. The original was followed by "Almond Pocky" in 1971, with an almond coating, and "Strawberry Pocky" in 1977. Today, the product line includes such variations as milk, mousse, green tea and coconut flavored coatings, and themed products such as "Decorer Pocky", with colorful decorative stripes in the coating, and "Men's Pocky", a dark (bittersweet) chocolate and "mature" version.
Pocky is very popular in Japan. In bars, it is sometimes served in a glass of ice water. It also has a significant presence in other East Asian countries such as China and Korea. In Europe, Pocky is renamed Mikado after the game Mikado. In the United States and Canada, Pocky can be found in Asian supermarkets and the international section of most large supermarkets, as well as Wal-Mart Supercenters and anime convention dealers' rooms. In Malaysia, Pocky was renamed by the Glico Company as Rocky, perhaps to avoid a vulgar word in Malay with similar pronunciation. Pocky has recently been marketed in America by LU, a company of the Danone Group.
Outside of Japan, Pocky is fairly popular among Japanophiles and otaku (anime fans). Its constant association with the Engrish phenomenon and the oddness of some of its versions (like the "Men's Pocky" bittersweet flavor), as well as the several Pocky parodies seen on many anime/manga series, contribute to the snack's reputation.

Japanese biscuit sticks covered in chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, or other varieties of flavors. It's OK, but really overrated because of the high price. Often eaten by Asians, the Wapanese, and Asian obsessed middle schoolers. If you like Japanese treats, you should try Hello Panda. It taste much better than Pocky and is less well known.
Asian Obsessed Middle Schooler: OMG! I have Pocky! Yay!
Wapanese: Woah. That stuff is sooo addictive!
Actual Asian: Asian wannabe noobs

A Glico product from Japan that's a biscuit stick covered in fudge, sometimes with candy peices added. Some may say it's over-rated, but they don't eat more than one stick. ^.^
Rare to find in America, except for Anime conventions, select Wal-Marts, rarely-found Oriental markets, and eBay. If you're not big on Anime, and afraid to go to the Oriental market, but like the taste, try eBay, as they don't exercise slave labor, and have the cheapest prices just a click away.
The cost for a two-pack of Chocolate Pocky is just about the same as a regular Hershey bar, give or take 20 cents, depending where you go.
