I was thinking of selling/handing out Pocky at the convention... I just need to know what everyone's favorite flavor is (to get a general idea of what to buy).
Or I could just buy the party pack, which includes;
Chocolate Pocky, Banana Pocky, Strawberry Pocky,
Decorer Strawberry, Pocky Almond Crush, Pocky Strawberry Bits, Pocky
Winter Special, Pocky Coconut Milk, Pocky G, Pocky
G Berry, Pocky Mousse, Chocolate Pocky, and Men's Pocky.
It's about 20 bucks a crate, but I think it'll add up eventually... ^__^- Pockyyy.
UPDATE:
After panicking and searching for about 20 minutes, I found the site again. I will never do that ever again. Right now I'm adding it to my favorites.
The site I'll post had like a whole page full of pocky, plus other pages with other snacks. :3 So I'll order a bunch of stuff and we can all try it out at the con this year, that way I know what and what not to order next time.

Ps. If you type in 'pocky' into the search, you can see the party packs.

I don't know... I think you'd get trampled if word got out you were giving it away, so you might want to consider at least charging enough to get your money back. ;)
Oh, and as far as what kind... everyone seems to like something different so I wouldn't worry too much. People usually will buy whatever's available anyways.
-
Ahah. You're right. I'd be in danger of my life >D. That wouldn't be so good. Pyo pyo.
Yeah, I dunno how much I'd want for some... -shrug-

-
I don't like pocky much. It's too sweet and it gives me a tummy ache. But if you have an extra at the end of the con(Which I doubt), and if I have any left over money, I'll buy some from you.
-

Decorer Strawberry, Pocky Almond Crush, Pocky Strawberry Bits, Pocky
Winter Special, Pocky Coconut Milk, Pocky G, Pocky
G Berry, Pocky Mousse, Chocolate Pocky, and Men's Pocky.
ARG!!! I'm hardly into first period and know I'm going to be thinking about pocky all day! I'm even going to be thinking about pocky at lunch. "Well this time the chicken doesn't have quite the same texture as a sponge... but its not pocky :cry: "
As for the type of pocky you should bring, I dunno I've only tried chocolate pocky and it was good but I could see how it could get old after a while. The almond, coconut, and mousse pocky sound good tho. I have to try this winter special pocky (cant imagine what winter tastes like). Also what is Men's Pocky? (Imagining old spice flavored pocky).
-
I'm glad I've gotten such a good response from all of you. Pocky for all!!!
Men's Pocky is Dark Chocolate... I think... -pause- Im pretty sure.
I found it on a site... I sent the e-mail adress to myself, so I can give it to you tonight. ^_^-
-
sweet ( but not as sweet as pocky),all this talk about pocky, is cheering me up, in my class we watched the awakings and good movie but really sad at the end, think pocky thoughts think pocky thoughts
-
Pocky can make anything better. :)
-
Free Pocky?
I love you. :D
Strawberry for me! :D :D :D
Its....so....addicting.
-
I just bought strawberry pocky from an asian store. -mouth watering- Myun....
-
ahh pocky....I remember when I got it when I was little kid(before knowing of anime). My mother(who is Korean) would always go to these small asian stores and she would sometimes buy me some. And more recently, my father got me some for my 20th birthday. It tasted like mocha which was interesting but good overall.
-
I also like Yan Yan. :) I love the cups they come in... I've collected them. >D
-
I like... that.. squid stuff at Wing Wa Market. Mmm... so good! :D
-
I saw these really good looking fruits in a syrup sauce. :) I can't wait to try them tomarrow for breakfeast... Lychee. I dunno. They look good.
-
Ooh! I like these rice crackers they sell too! Those are good. *drool* And they have this fruit dessert in a cup. Don't ever buy it. It tastes good when you lick it, but when you chew... No. Just.... no. Eww.
-
OHHH.
That's like with String cheese, it tastes okay if you... 'string it' but if you bite it then it tastes like... HORRIBLE. D:
-
Oh man! It was so nasty.
Me: Do you think it's safe? *opens and sniffs*
Mom: I dunno. Lick it.
Me: *lick* Mmm.. *pours in mouth* *chew* *gag* *choke* *die*
Mom: *pokes with stick*
-
Once I kinda put a Cheese stick in the mircowave, just to see what wuold happen... I hadn't taken the wrapper off either. >D
Me: 'O_o; Um..."
Microwave: "Burzzzz"
Me: ":o"
Microwave: "BUZZAERAZRER!"
Me: -laughs- "Ha."
Microwave: -continues making weird nosies-
It like melted... I thought it was funny by my dad didn't. >D He made me clean it up.
-
I made a bon fire in my oven... I was scrapping a pizza out of the oven and it fell between the bars. Boy, was I in trouble. :?
-
I made like Toasted butter.
>D I kept putting more and more butter on the toast and I kept putting it in the toaster. rofl.
I was in trouble too...
"CAROLINE! What are you /trying/ to do?! Burn down the house?!"
-
I put a Peep in the microwave. It grew HUGE!
Easter Peeps + Microwave = GODZILLA!
-
:o I love peeps. :o
-
I find marshmellows gross. They are all gooey and.. eww.
-
And peeps are like, sugar of jelly sugar. :(
I <3 pocky though.
-
Peeps are too sweet. I feel icky after eating sugar-y foods.
-
-nods-
I used to like they when I was like 7... but you'll eat anything at 7. Hell I wuold eat grass. >D
-
And they have this fruit dessert in a cup. Don't ever buy it. It tastes good when you lick it, but when you chew... No. Just.... no. Eww.
are you talking abuot those little ones that are kinda jello-ish and come in different shaped cups? I remember my mom bought a bag of those once and yeah... I can't really say they *tasted* too bad, but the texture certainly made you want to gag.
-
I'll make sure to watch out for thoes...
Texture and how it looks is everything to me... Like it it looks like.... I dunno some mutated food, I'll probably wont eat it.
I'm kind of a picky eater. :| But I'll eat most Japanese/Chinese foods.

^_^- It's okay. I'll try and get some Orange Chocolate. I'll also buy a bunch of other candies/treats from a local Korean/Chinese/Japanese store. :D
-
The only kind they have at the store near me is Almond Chocolate, Chocolate and Strawberry. :cry:
-
Aw. -pat-
They have a bunch of stuff, I'll make sure to buy you some awsome kinds. :D Yay.
-
Yay! ^_^ I've always wanted to try Banana pocky.. :oops:
-
I do too!
And Milk Pocky. That's gonna be my goal. Try Milk & Banana pocky.
-

-
Its....so....addicting.

*sigh* pocky takes another of our ranks. Well, I guess it is time to plan another intervention. :roll:
-
I dunno if Villina Pocky tastes good... But I'm also wondering what the heck 'winter' pocky tastes like. I think it's a creamy kinda taste. -shrug- Who knows. We'll have to find a test subject. -raises hand- :D
-
(raises hand too) its funny my psy teach tole us to break a norm and many of the sugestions are things you would do at a anime convetion as the norm (i ended up wearing my big green GIR slippers to math class, people just ignord it) at the lan party you can buy pocky for a buck (joy)
i had a good dream last night (you were all there) it was the the first day of kumoricon and there were these two veiwing rooms cramed with people and i was like "ooo what room to watch !?!?",wish i could of known what cosplay i was wearing)
-
:D Yay veiwing rooms.
-dances around- I might also sell awsome chopsticks. >D All pretty and stuff. Who knows? I do. :)
Pocky will be at Kumori con though. I can justify that.
-
I'm probably the only Otaku that doesn't like Japanese food.
:(
For some reason I get sick everytime I eat it.
LOVE Chinese food though.
Sweet and Sour Chicken. :D :D
-
I have Sweet and Sour Chicken in my fridge RIGHT NOW.
:D -dances-
Want some? Want some? Okay. -gives you a plateful- :3 Eat up. Eat up.
-
how is it I didn't find this post sooner? FREE POCKY..they make Banana flavor? SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
I'd be willing to pay you though. just cause you seem so sweet to offer free pocky to people. ^^
I got a free pixie stix the first kumoricon...they were and all cool and laughing and saying "there's no sugar in pixie stix" and running around.. it was awesome. XD

Not even Ramen? There is a great ramen place in Eugene called Toshi's Ramen. I definately recomend going. Even if you don't like ramen I definately recomend the cha han. I am sooo hungry now.

-
:D Aw. Thank you. I'm not really that sweet, I'm just kinda... Um... I'm kinda mean. >D I yell at people. Like this kid was looking at my back pack (Messanger bag. Whateverrr. It says 'You say Otaku like it's a bad thing...' >D) And he was like 'Wut's an otahku?' and I was like 'AHA! I pity you fool! You have not yet found the world of Anime!'
But then he kinda looked at me weird.
That's not really mean, that's just kinda... -scatches chin- rude? :| -shrug-
I e-mailed the url to myself, but I think I typed in my e-mail adress wrong. X( -dies-

-

^_^- It's like I go all ninja on them. 'PACHOWWW. Take that! Pow! And that!' >D
I basicly do that everyday though. I'll run up behind people and jump down and hit them in the back.
