WEEKLY CANDY: Sweet Milk Pocky

If you are into crunchy biscuit sticks slathered in teeth-slidey, margarine-esque opaque frosting the color of cartoon straw, then you, my friend, would probably like to take Sweet Milk Pocky out on a date.

WEEKLY CANDY: Sweet Milk Pocky

POSTED: Friday, July 15, 2011, 3:58 PM
Filed Under: Weekly Candy

Once a week, Team Meal Ticket shares its latest sugar-laden fixations. Do not tell our dentist.

IN QUESTION: We loooooooove all things Pocky here at Meal Ticket, but this one caught our attention due to its dualistic appeal (weird flavor/awesome packaging) — Sweet Milk Pocky! Though they're ostensibly meant to ape the flavor of sweetened condensed milk, these things taste like straight-up butter y'all. If you are into crunchy biscuit sticks slathered in teeth-slidey, margarine-esque opaque frosting the color of cartoon straw, then you, my friend, would probably like to take Sweet Milk Pocky out on a date.

WHERE TO BUY: Where else? Hung Vuong Supermarket in Wing Phat Plaza at 11th/Washington.

HOW MANY DO WE TYPICALLY EAT IN ONE SITTING: The whole box. It's the only way to form a real Pocky opinion.

FINER POINTS: Who's really the Sweet Milk Pocky mascot? Is it the cool-ass nonchalant cow on the outside of the box, or is it the weird, possibly royal old-school airplane stewardess/milkmaid anime girl who uses Pocky as a wand to cast spells on lions?! I NEED TO KNOW PLEASE INFORM ME

    It pains me to speak ill of my beloved Pocky, but Sweet Milk is gross.
