Banana Pocky
Banana Pocky
Contains: 16 sticks/pouch x 1 pouch = 16 sticks
Intended Flavor: banana coating on a plain stick
Review Date: December 3, 2004

Now this is a pleasant surprise! Glico proved wrong my assumption that they couldn't pull off banana successfully. It smells and tastes like a standard Pocky stick coated with banana pudding. The flavor works partially because they actually use dehydrated banana, unlike some entirely artificial, partially disgusting flavors. I'm hoping that this has really become one of their permanent flavors, because that monkey on the box is just too cute.

This is really a tasty mild snack for just about everyone, including and especially picky little kids. Everyone loves banana pudding, right? Banana pudding on a stick works perfectly. Give it a try.

Smell
Sweet banana, nothing tricky here.
4/5
Taste
Or maybe banana cream pie? Just the right strength of flavor.
8/10

Crisp Pocky, smooth coating.
