1. Y suggested that I make my own Pocky and pointed me in the direction of the Pier Cookbook where they have a good "Poky Stick" recipe (the secret ingredient being tahini of all things).

2. I scored a great range of fancy Pocky and Kit Kats all at a steal ($1-2AUD).

3. I will have another story coming up with even more Pocky flavours!

4. My situation goes like this: several times a day during my recent trip to Tokyo, I would pop into a convenience store and check out what kinds of Pocky they had.

5. What I did anticipate was that she ate them all leaving me with nothing except the Pocky I managed to take with me (which was admittedly a good Pocky, the Giant Hello Kitty Green Tea Pocky).

6. I was saving these for when I got home and had a Pocky craving and felt that the outlay of $5 here for 10 sticks was a bit silly.

7. The best way to impart the flavours was via chocolate and white chocolate is usually used with Pocky.
