WEEKLY CANDY: Mint Pocky
Once a week, Team Meal Ticket shares its latest sugar-laden fixations. Do not tell our dentist.
IN QUESTION: That'd be the amazing Mint Pocky, packaged in a box the color of mouthwash. Why does mint-flavored shit always rock this color? Real-life mint does not look like that whatsoever. Anyway, minty zesty chocolate meets the characteristic Pocky stick crunch. That's it! It's tremendous.
WHERE TO BUY: Here's where you can help me out, candy fans. I purchased this box at Hung Vuong (Wing Phat Plaza, 1100 Washington Ave.), where I usually cop my Pocky. Lately though, the candy selection over there has been sparse and weak as hell! I literally found this rogue box of Mint tucked in with a few others in a Pocky splinter cell located behind some sardines in my second-favorite aisle, "Various Kinds of Cans." What gives? Why do I gotta perform a storewide scavenger hunt to find all the good flavors?! I'm mad at you, Hung Vuong. Where else can I acquire the Pockys I require on the reg? Get at me in the comments.
HOW MANY DO WE TYPICALLY EAT IN ONE SITTING: There are two sleeves in this particular box, so two sleeves.
FINER POINTS: It's amazing how similar Mint Pocky tastes to Girl Scout thin mints — same satisfaction, skinnier, more Asian delivery system. You know what that means — freeze 'em!
