Isn't pocky just Cadburys Fingers from Japan?

Dunno about these "Cadburys Fingers" of which you speak, War, but these are cheap-tasting things and they aren't really worth the price.

The self-proclaimed otaku snap it up quick, though.

But yeah. They are far too expensive here, so I only buy them once in a blue moon.

Personally I enjoy them because they are a light dessert compared to the heavily sweet-large-portioned crap around the area.

I see nothing wrong with the heavily sweet-large-portioned crap. The more there is, the better! Bring on the Ben and Jerry's!

hum, from those pics they don't look filling enough to me.
I'd rather go for a muffin, a pie or an ice-cream.

I have to take you to either the elephant bar, or Super Smokers. They both have a 1/2lb brownie sundae with a quart of ice cream and two cups of hot fudge on a rich, dense, thick, chocolate brownie.

I nearly go into diabetic shock when I think of it.

We don't eat Ben & Jerry's for the nutritional value, duh.

Technically, you're not a foreigner unless you GO to a different country. In the comfort of our own American homes, we're natives. Since (unless I'm very much mistaken) the keenspace servers are on American soil, you're the foreigner - - but for God's sake you guys have an animal with a beaver tail and a duck bill, and it lays EGGS... how warped must your sense of zoology be?! Koalas are the perfect bloody teddy-bears, marsupials or not!! (except for theat whole razor sharp claws and bad temperments thing)

Man, if you're going to spend like $3.50 on a snack, buy some those Pepperidge Farms cookies! Like the Sausalito or Nantucket. Good God, those things are delicious -- especially microwaved.

Because they're Japanese...

...and liking Japense things is quirky and cool amongst the geek and nerd community.

Over here, we have a cheap local substitute which is called Rocky, whatever that means. It looks exactly the same, cept my friend says Pocky tastes better. Never tried Pocky myself, so I wouldnt know.

It doesn't sound very Japanese: "Pocky sticks"?
They shoulda named them "Hawashi sticks", or "Mizushima sticks" or something like that.
