Mad About Pocky
Melbourne appears to overwhelmed by Pocky at the moment. These salty chocolate treats can be found in every vending machine from schools and workplaces to Flinders Street Station. Walk into any Asian Grocer and you will be inundated with a plethora of flavours - almond crunch chocolate, pudding pocky, black and latte, mousse royal milk tea and even pumpkin pocky.
Pocky is designed to melt at 36.6 degrees celcius - which is human body temperature. Therefore the chocolate melts in your mouth (…or in your hand) and you’re left with a salty crunchy pretzel within. Mmm.
This flavour, amusingly titled “Men’s”, is probably my favourite. I won’t ponder the name too much. But as I am such a sucker for anything dark chocolate, I’ll overlook it.

It’s called Men’s because of the dark chocolate covering

I suppose this conversation thread *could* degenerate into something quite base…lol. I will refrain from going there. For now anyway
