When I was growing up, I only remember one kind of Pocky. It was a pretzel stick dipped in chocolate. Japanese candy tends to not be as sweet as American candy but this was one treat I did like because the chocolate was sweet.
My cousin, a connoisseur of candy and sweet treats, brought over to my house one day, a ton of different kinds of Pocky. I was amazed at all the variations they have now: almond and chocolate, strawberry, white chocolate, bitter sweet chocolate. We tried them all and had a blast. In Japan, they have even more flavors. Who would have thought all the flavors you can put on a pretzel stick?
If you want to try this out, they sell these in Japanese markets like Mitsuwa and Marukai.
