Wow. another eBay find?

Note; I spent half an hour cleaning a piece of a hershey bar out of the control pad of my new Avenue 6. I was wondering why left & down were not working. I assume the last owner left in a window on a hot day?

Blueberry Pocky?!? I am outta the loop. Good thing I am going to Tokyo Kid soon.

Meh Pocky is way overrated anyways, the chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, etc stuff the dip the sticks in usually has a sort of dry flaky texture and doesn't even taste that great. Hershey's chocolate tastes better than the chocolate on chocolate pocky, and that's bad. Hershey's chocolate is close to being the worst there is. If want something similar but tastes exponentially better, get Yan Yan. Sure it has a much more limited variety, but who cares as Pocky sucks to begin with.

Pocky isn't even that popular in Japan.  I've rarely seen actual Japanese people eating it here...
