If you're a connoisseur of international sweets, there is a good chance you've stumbled across a delightful treat from Japan known as Pocky. Renowned for its unique design and tantalizing flavors, Pocky has become a global sensation in the world of candy. At Blair Candy, we are proud to stock a diverse selection of these iconic stick-shaped biscuits coated with delectable chocolate or other sweet toppings.

The history of Pocky takes us back to 1966 in Japan. Manufactured by Ezaki Glico, the sweet treat was initially named "Chocoteck," signifying its core ingredients - chocolate and biscuit. However, the signature crunching sound that comes from biting into a Pocky stick inspired the rebrand to its current name, mimicking the "Pokkin" sound in Japanese.

The unique concept of a chocolate-coated biscuit stick was revolutionary at the time. Its ease of eating without getting fingers messy was another aspect that appealed to many, and Pocky quickly gained popularity within Japan. The initial classic chocolate flavor took Japan by storm, and soon, the company introduced more flavors including strawberry, almond crush, and cookies and cream, further expanding Pocky's appeal.

By the late 1990s, Pocky's fame extended beyond Japan. Thanks to its unique packaging and variety of flavors, Pocky found its way into international markets, becoming a beloved staple of Asian supermarkets and specialty stores worldwide.

Today, Pocky is a symbol of Japanese pop culture. It's celebrated every year on November 11, known as Pocky Day, because the date 11/11 resembles four Pocky sticks. During this event, fans around the world indulge in the sweet treat and participate in various themed promotions.

However, you don't need to wait until Pocky Day to enjoy this irresistible treat. At Blair Candy, we recognize Pocky's universal appeal and its value as a representative of Japanese confectionery. That's why we are thrilled to bring a huge selection of Pocky flavors to our shelves.
