Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a stash of Pocky at home. I've been dieting (lost 60+ pounds) and a pack of Coconut Pocky with 4 wee sticks of coco-choco loveliness is only 74 calories. With a cup of decaf, it satisfies my after-dinner craving for dessert with minimal caloric impact for the flavor.
I am even now holding my pack. EXACTLY the same as the picture. Same nutritional info. A legitimate product, yes? But my box is $3.25 --the price sticker is still on there. The pack has 4 mini-packs of four Pocky sticks each. 16 thin crispy snack sticks. The listed price of $18+ bucks is insane. That's more than a buck per stick. The so-called sale price is more than twice the price I paid. I can only assume the jack-ed up initial price is to make the sale price LOOK like a bargain.
I guess this is the "Take advantage of the winter season to sell older pocky and rip-off buyers" thing. Maybe just add a buck more for off-season or something. But more than doubling the price. Youch. I guess I'll have strawberry Pocky until next summer.
So, great snack. Lousy pricing.
