I bought this for a family member's birthday, who is obsessed with Pocky. He loved it; the different types allowing him to choose his favorite, and ask me for more. The quality of the product was wonderful, just as if you were getting it straight from Japan.

This was a great gift for my Pocky loving daughter. I bought them for her to give as party favors for her birthday, but she kept them all to herself. We can usually only find the chocolate and strawberry Pocky in stores so it was fun to try all the other flavors.

Where I live I can only get my hands on two types of pocky: strawberry and chocolate. Nothing wrong with either flavor, but friends elsewhere have access to more variety. So upon finding this my fingers couldn't hit "Add to cart" fast enough. It's a very nice selection of flavors, I really liked milk and orange. The various other candies were just as good.

I bought this Glico Collection to try out other unusual flavors of Pocky and other related products. I received what is available in their current stock:

2 2.82 oz Glico Chocolate Pocky

3 1.16 oz Glico Strawberry Pocky

1 1.16 Sweet Milk Pocky

1 3.53 oz. Chocolate Almond Crush Pocky

1 Glico Coconut Chocolate Pocky

1 Toppo Cocoa Sticks 2.5 oz.

1 Glico Roasted Pretz 2.46 oz.

1 Glico Corn Pretz 2.46 oz

1 Glico Salad Pretz 2.46 oz.

1 Hello Kitty Strawberry Chocolate Sticks

1 Orange Hi-chew

I've tried the Sweet Milk-- it was OK and tasted like condensed milk dipped sticks.

My favorite is the Chocolate Almond Crush- very addicting, chocolatey and nutty.

Strawberry is good too.

I wish I bought my own mix from another online store. This Glico pack is not worth it as I can buy the other varieties cheaper at an Asian supermarket that are well stocked with Pocky coming from regional Glico Pocky flavors.

Best to check out your local Asian food market or Japanse anime store. The price will usually be better, considering S&H, and you won't be stuck with 6x of something you end up hating. Also there are a lot of other varieties of pocky than what's being sold here. There's even "giant" pocky, "custard" pocky, "green tea" etc... Always more new ones coming out.

But, if there are no market or if other internet stores are comparable in price, than maybe a wise choice for the curious snacker. Beware though, even I didn't like the sesame. And FYI, Men's pocky is just "bitter" instead of "milk" chocolate. Best flavors in my opinion (and most novice Pocky snackers like): Men's, Strawberry with/without extra bits, almond crush.
