Pocky Men’s bitter chocolate??

pocky men's available at the local korean grocery store

ummm, pocky men’s??? I’m not exactly sure what the marketing team of this product is trying to say but I don’t particularly have pockmarks all over my face so I guess these bitter chocolate snacks aren’t for me.

OK, ok, apparently it’s a famous japanese brand of chocolate covered pretzel sticks. But come on, couldn’t they have settled on calling it something a bit more appetizing than “pocky”. and why is it for men only? is there an alternative flavor for women?

    Pocky is awesome! I think they labeled it for men since it’s bitter chocolate. I’m fond of the banana flavored.

    i like pocky! but i’m sure a lot of women would want the bitter chocolate too.
    that’s weird advertising.

    hey Chickie and Shirley! hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

    as for pocky – It just sort of made me laugh while waiting at the check out counter at the local korean grocery store.

    you know me, I’m easily amused. :P

    Japlish is amusing. Just think, it’s been called “Pocky” for years! Personally I like the chocolate filled koalas. Yum.
