slo’s FRIDAY 4/11 poll - Pokey Sticks

[LuvOrlando]

I have had them many times. Not something I go out of my way for but if they are there I'll nibble and enjoy as a shared experience, same thing goes for the funky flavors of Lays chips and, more recently, the Goldfish Harry Potter Butterbeer mini cookies.

I've had them many times. I like them, but not love. I've had chocolate (my fave), strawberry, matcha (DW's fave), and pumpkin spice. DW has also had melon, which was apparently too sweet for her tastes, so I'd probably love it.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

Never seen or heard of these.

I like Pocky all right. They're really not chocolate-y enough for me, a chocoholic. But they're good. I used to only get them in Epcot, but now if I want some 5-Below has them.

They're okay, but I don't love them. I think of them mostly as drink stirrers.

I've loved them since the early 2000s when you could only find them in specialty stores like comic book/anime shops. Never heard of them until some online friends sent them to me and I was hooked. Nowadays you can find them everywhere. My favorite is the classic chocolate but I also like strawberry, mint chocolate, and the chocolate ones with crushed almonds. I tried matcha flavor in Hawaii and it was ok, not really a big fan of the cookies & cream ones for some reason even though I like cookies & cream stuff in general.

I think what's most appealing about them is how fun they are to eat.

BTW, am I missing why Cookies & Cream in the poll is labeled as cookies & cream DISASTER?
