Mom: Here's a snack.
Creepy guy: Hey, you're young, huh!
I think my favorites are the first one and the one where the mom comes in. The expressions on all their faces are priceless. Which do you like?

You, me, and Pocky
There are a lot of Pocky commercials out there, but here are a few from a series that I like. Most of them involve some bad mojo going down, followed by someone singing 「あなたもわたしもポッキ」, which I guess is literally "My and your Pocky." You know, sometimes there's nothing you can do but have a Pocky. And, uh, we're all connected together through the Pocky? I dunno, but the commercials are pretty amusing.

Hello Paul-san, This is TTH again. I like the first one. Pocky is one of the long run selling choco snacks in Japan. I don't remember when it came out and became so popular... Green box of Pocky is "men' pocky". But I don't understand what is special about it. I used to like Almond Pocky. But I've heard it is no longer available in the market. Which pocky do you like best?
ReplyDeleteHey TTH,
ReplyDeleteActually I think I've only tried Men's Pocky and original Pocky. There are a lot of interesting-looking flavors out there, but I don't eat much candy. If you have any recommendations, please let me know!
Pocky is one of the few snacks that, if belonging to another and left unattended, I will help myself to.
ReplyDeleteSorry, people. That's just the way it is.
I like the original Pocky best. I currently live in CA/USA. Every time I go back to Japan, I see a lot of new versions of the choco snacks. I cannot catch up with them. I'm Urashima Taro(浦島太郎)I'm excited about what of new products I will see in the supermarkets this summer.
ReplyDeleteWe all know zombies are awesome. But I think this is the first time I've ever seen Japanese zombies, and they seem pretty awesome, too.
ReplyDeleteEttiquite question -- do Japanese zombies bow before or after they eat someone's brains?
TTH - Haha...time warping, aye? =)
ReplyDeleteShadow - I think during, to give them easier access.
I remember seeing some of these on TV. Although these days I see more commercials for Jagariko.
