You need to build yourself a bunch of corporate logos.

TychoCelchuuu · July 2004

The choices, the choices! My head is going to explode from deciding whether or not to order a lifetime supply of pocky from Japan.

Picture the scene for a moment. I'm sitting there with my boxes of candy.

"Hey, try this stuff. It's like ghetto Pocky!"
"Right, whatever."  </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> 
Nonononno, this is where you are messing up, do not say "like" or if you do, say it very softly and quickly like you're saying the fine print at the end of a commercial. Trust me, it'll work.

But I could get butt-raped by Pocky lawyers. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

Is pocky even a trademark in the US?

7Bistromath · July 2004

Well, I probably wouldn't have legal problems, but even then, I don't think I'd fool anybody. I mean, Pocky packages are clearly labeled, in plain English, "Pocky."

So, maybe if I made little boxen that said "<span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>I can't believe it's not</span> Pocky!" That's about it.

AllUrHiveRblong2us · July 2004

Well if you won't do it, maybe I will. I know a lot of sucker Wapanese kids around here who shell out the big bucks fo Japanese coffee sticks........hmmm.........venture capitalism........

Cadbury? Pfft, Galaxy chocolate is better. Not knocking Cadbury tho. Its good, but its not the best.

DragonMech · July 2004

Never heard of Galaxy chocolate. Where do you get it?

Testament · July 2004

I can buy pocky at a grocery store 30 minutes away. Like a dollar a box, and they have tons of flavours. Haven't bought any for ages though.

RaVe · July 2004

I can buy Pocky en masse, and I still won't go broke!

XD We got tons of Pocky here in Hong Kong, because it is simply teh win!

Ok, not exactly <b>teh one and only</b> win XD

Testament · July 2004

Meh. Pocky is okay. Just candy. Too many people go nuts over it because it's from Japan. Oooh, wow.

Cream Egg for me... what a piece of heaven one of those damn things are...

Pocky's ok, but you get nothing for a lot. It's just a stick dipped in sugar... I've got something a lot better/cheaper:

Venmoch · July 2004

Cadbury anything.

Oh and make sure its UK Cadbury the American versions ain't as great. They don't use the right cream or something.

RuBy · July 2004

We've got something like that in france, they're called <a href='http://images.google.fr/images?q=tbn:_qUcGLTfjZUJ:web.wanadoo.be/tmk/pocky.images/be.mikado.jpg' target='_blank'>Mikado</a>. They're not even that great and I wouldn't really call it candy.

They're more like... biscuits covered in fine chocolate.

You're also in Singapore. That's like, right next where they make the stuff, where most people have heard of it.

Cream Eggs are the reason I like Easter so much.

lolfighter · July 2004

Yes, Pocky is being produced on license in Europe (or at least in France and Germany) under the name Mikado. It's basically chocolate Pocky (in case you didn't know, there are many many flavours of Pocky. Strawberry Pocky is teh yuck). This makes it easy and cheap to obtain over here. Oh wait, was this the wrong place to mention that I have Pocky and you don't? Mmm, Pocky.

And no, it's not the be-all and end-all of candy like Quaudude would have you believe. God forbid if there was any candy in the world you could call best of all.

Oh god yes - creme eggs are awesome! When I used to live overseas, my dad would pay a rather hefty sum to have a box of those things flown over each year.
