All the way from Japan: Halloween Pocky!!

I wanted to share something a bit off-the-beaten-path today, and while sorting through my archives yesterday I found the perfect thing; a series of Japanese Halloween Pocky boxes.

For those that don’t know, Pocky is a brand name confectionery product out of Japan that’s been around for decades.  It’s a thin cracker-stick, typically covered in chocolate and other flavors.

As a collector, I don’t make an effort to collect Pocky, even though I think the packaging they come in is pretty cool.  My reasoning is that first-and-foremost, they’re tough to track down, and ultimately when you can, the fact that they’re imported makes them cost-prohibitive.  Even so, I have picked up a few fun ones over the years.

So let’s take a look at a release from six years ago that was called Pocky: Lovely Halloween. First up is the tray the individual boxes came in – check out the cut-out mask!:

Japan – Glico – Pocky – Lovely Halloween – candy-snack box multi-tray – 2006

And here are the three flavors of Halloween Pocky that originally came in that box:

Japan – Glico – Pocky Honey & Milk- Halloween – candy-snack box – 2006

Japan – Glico – Pocky Strawberry – Halloween – candy-snack box – 2006

Japan – Glico – Pocky Pumpkin – Halloween – candy-snack box – 2006

That’s the trio of flavors that were originally included with the “Lovely Halloween” box.  But I do have one more Halloween-related Pocky to share.   This one is a from a few years earlier.  Check it out:

Japan – Glico – Pocky Pumpkin – Halloween – candy-snack box – 2003

And that’s everything I’ve got on the topic of Halloween Pocky.  I hope you enjoyed the peek into this unusual confectionery treat.  See you next time!
