  • I KNOW. It's dark chocolate pocky, meant for mature tastes, and apparently men = mature. Now you know, ladies, only sweet milk chocolate for your eternally girlish palates.

Nikka Market

I took Jackson to the Nikka Market in Goleta over the weekend. His friend Luna had brought him some Japanese candy from her trip to visit family there over the summer, and now he's hooked. We were pleased to find rice candy (with the wrapper you can eat), soda candy (very fizzy), and whistle candy, which is the size of a Lifesaver but when you place it between your teeth and blow through the hole, it whistles.

And Pocky!!

    I always want to buy packs and packs of Japenese candy because it is all SO ADORABLE. But I try to resist. It's hard though.

    Aah! I still eat rice candy but I had forgotten about whistle candy! yummy and choke-y hazard-y at the same time.

    I like that candy that's like Pocky, but the cookies and the chocolate are separate and you have to dip the cookie sticks into the chocolate.

    Now what is that stuff called...

    If I go to one of the 8 Asian markets in my town, are they likely to have Pocky? Because now I want some. Bad.

    Must have whistle candy - what's the packaging look like?

  12. Eden (Mrs.) Kennedy (56 months ago | reply)

    Kate, whistle candy seems to come either in a blister pack of eight or else in long strips with each candy sealed in its own little section, if that makes any sense. I'll post a picture as soon as possible.

    Status: POCKY ACQUIRED. Except for the "men's" version, which they are ordering for me.
