What is it with Asian candy/cookies?

[Crono]

My trip to Asia will come up in a few months. I will get some of these goodies.

Group Buy, anyone?

Get me me a crate of Calorie Mate, wouldn't mind paying for that. I know it's pretty simple, kinda shortbread-like, but I love it. Too expensive to import, though, and I don't live that close to Japanese stores that would carry it anymore.

Sucks for you!

Nearest Mitsuwa market is 6.3 miles from my house. Nearest Marukai market is 3.7 miles from my house.

Nearest 99 Ranch Market is 4.3 miles from my house.

Don't really know about the Korean markets in my area. I go to places in Koreatown with the chicks if it comes to that.

I'd take pretty much any 'Asian candy' over peanut butter M&Ms. I never understood why anyone would eat that. Or anything else containing peanut butter for that matter.

I've always found Pocky to be a bit overrated. They are ok, some flavours more than others, but nothing great.

coconut/almond > *. strawberry/chocolate are just pedestrian.

I like the koala's filled with chocolate more than the regular pocky.

What is this 'pocky' crap? Is it some sort of edible female toy?

goldilocks sucks compared to red ribbon

Wife agrees - however, none were in Vegas when we lived there.

You take with what you can get

I've yet to try the coconut one, but I don't mind the almond Pocky. I'm not a huge fan of the bread stick though, so it kind of puts a damper on the treat, no matter the accoutrements surrounding it. I'll give the coconut a shot though, since I love macaroons.
