I get them for about a buck for a large box, with 5 of the little packets inside, at the very most. little old ladies are awesome when they own stores.

i've had pocky nearly all my life :( *clings to her snacks* I ate a steady diet of pocky, yogrut, and ramen(it's rahm-yeeohn damnit! you americans :() for my week in korea, and whenever i go to texas...

i know that a lotta otaku people like it cause it's japanese, but i just like my pepero :c

Almond Pocky is freakin' delicerous... *Drool*

Regular Pocky isn't really special, though.

Chocolate mousse pocky is delicious. Wouldn't go out of my way for it, though..

i've had this strange healthy pepero, tomato, basil, and chicken. they taste realllly weird, though my favs are strawberry/chocolate double dip(they USED to sell it, haven't seen it lately...) and almond, evne though i normally dislike almonds.

though my favourite snack is still shrimp flavoured crackers. don't knock it till you try it ;^;!

i don't remember the brand name, but i'm going to our korean mart soon, and i always buy them. they come in red bags with a black diagonal cut across the front and a little shrimp. the actual crackers look like crinke french fries, really. soooo good :D

I just call them Shrimp crackers- they're really good.

And Boton Rice candy is just candy made of rice, wrapped in edible rice paper. I like it, but it may be an acquired taste. It usually come with cheap stickers.

I think Calbee makes the shrimp/prawn crackers. They come in fresh fry like strands mostly.

Ahh Shrimp Chips and Botan rice candy

I have a weakness for roasted green peas.

They sell a light kettle corn now - almost no fat, low carb, and surprisingly tasty. I eat that a lot. Filling, but basically air.

I think the best snack food I ever had was when I was over my Indian friend's house and he got me a bowl of "Hot Mix". I've no idea what it was, I don't know what it's made of, but DAYUM.

Vijoy, where are you?! I WANT MY HOT MIX ;_;

I don't think that's true. I think it's 9 out of 10 of the most deadliest land snakes though.

Although we do have a lovely little bugger called the Funnel Web Spider...he's a nice bloke to find in your gumboot in the morning...vicious little bastard...

I just read a blurb about those. I forget what happens exactly, but it's not nice. It's either intense muscle spasms or nausea.
